I'm not going to condone, apologize for or justify the innuendo games McPalin have been playing lately when it comes to 'raising questions' about Barack Obama's past and his fitness for office.It's a typical tactic played because it works. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
But shame is being cast, at this very moment, from Cleveland down to the Peach State...home of Representative John Lewis (D).
Yesterday, the Rep., who was a big student organizer during the 60s Civil Rights movement, is now playing some pretty ugly cards, not only comparing McPalin to George Wallace, but drawing allusions to firebombings in the South, such as the 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing that killed the little girls.
Everyone plays dirty and, in the aggregate, I find McPalin's campaign lest tasteful than Obama's, but Lewis didn't need to go there. As McCain cheapens the service he gave this country by using it as a campaign trick, Lewis does the same to the Civil Rights movement. He should know better.

Everyone is frothing at the mouth. What did they think was going to happen when you start to attack someone at the core like that. Of course the opposition is going to feel incredibly threatened.
It is already threatening enough to have a black president, much less one you would think is a terrorist or whatever.
I just wonder how Obama can qwelll this sentiment should he win in the next couple weeks.
