Is The GOP Trying To Instigate Race and/or Religious War Accidentally Or On Purpose?

By M.J. Rosenberg - October 29, 2008, 1:18PM
So now John McCain is attacking Obama for his association with Prof. Rashid Khalidi. Khalidi is a Palestinian-American who has consistently supported Palestinian recognition of Israel, has opposed terrorism, and promoted Washington's efforts to produce an Israeli-Palestinian agreement. Yes, he is connected to the PLO, the organization Israel negotiates with (Netanyahu negotiated and shook hands with Arafat, for heaven's sake) and recognizes as the "legitimate representative of the Palestinian people."

But, as you can see here, McCain likens Khalidi to a neo-Nazi. Why? Not because he believes it (McCain has a long-time association with Khalidi too) but because the Republicans' latest strategy is to count on (1) Jews being such such racists that, so far as we are concerned, any association with any Arab is bad and (2) hey, this is what the McCain Republicans do.

Of course, this does not compare with McCain and Palin's embrace of that liar in Pennsylvania who claimed a black guy carved a B into her face. If McCain or Palin had the slightest shred of patriotism in them, they would not have run with that story even if it was true. Even if it was true, it would have had nothing to do with the Democrats and, a story that incendiary, could cause innocent people to be killed. (Even they must know the long terrible history of where blood libels against black men have led in this country).

But they grabbed the scarlet B, embraced it, hugged it to their collective bosoms, and found out within hours that it was a hoax perpetrated by their supporters.

3. I suspect that, when they look at all the deaths, fires, and destruction, they'd claim

"Hey, it's performance art! Aren't you leftist commies all about funding the arts???"

4. If I Can't Rule America NO ONE CAN!!!!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA

They want to win and they don't care who they have to hurt to get there. Besides if violence broke out they will find some way to blame Obama and the dems.


Also keep in mind psychologists have proven people keep in their minds what they first learn so when mcpalin and their minions say 'Obama has done X and is an ally of Y' when it is reavealed that McCain has actually the one who has done X and is an ally of Y people will still think Obama =s X & Y. Never underestimate the depths rove and his ilk will sink to. never.

5. Divided we fall!!

If we are not united then we are divided and we will ALL fail. A GOOD candidate should not have to use divisive words to campaign. Period!!

6. Can't Say As The GOP EVer Signed Onto Peaceful Coexistence With Any "Deviant"

from their monoculture. Not even their uppity womenfolk, unless they crawl in, grovel and otherwise debase themselves before the Great White Fathers, are save from attack.

7. It's just a biproduct of their attempt to get elected

they're not trying to start a race war, but aggressive race-baiting is part of their election strategy.
