So now according to CNN, supporters at McCain rallies have started openly calling Obama a “terrorist.” Speakers onstage repeatedly refer to him as Barak Hussein Obama. 

McCain was reportedly startled when the word terrorist was shouted at at the rally, but what the fuck did he expect? He sent Palin out to make this association, to insinuate it, and to plant the seed that Obama was as good as a terrorist for having known a man convicted of something that happened 40 years ago. I can only imagine that this is the best case scenario for McCain. 

This is truly George W. Bush’s America at work. A respected United States Senator is smeared as a terrorist for political gain, and the lie gains traction. My only consolation is that the redneck assholes who think that calling him Hussein somehow constitutes a victory would never have voted Democrat anyways. And the recent polls form Florida and Ohio seem to be demonstrating this. 

Still, it is now clear that there is nothing McCain will not say or insinuate to try to reclaim this election. What’s next – white women are at risk if Obama wins? He’s already tried to raise this spectre with the Paris Hilton ads (blonde girl/black man race panic.) Disugsting. Are Americans tired of it? It’s hard to say. If one guy at a rally will scream out “terrorist,” then how many were silently thinking it?
