John McCain’s latest 30-second campaign ad chastises Barack Obama for being “disrespectful” toward his running mate, Alaska governor Sarah Palin:
The female voice claims Obama disrespected Palin by calling her a liar. But in point of fact, the Obama ad in question, the “No Maverick” posted to YouTube on 8 September merely (truthfully) points out the fact that Palin supported the “Bridge to Nowhere” before she opposed it. Is making a valid criticism being “disrespectful?” Watch:
The unspoken but clear subtext to McCain’s latest attack ad is that an uppity negro is disrespecting a white lady. Shame on John McCain. Shame on him.
Update:FactCheck.org weighs in on McCain’s “Disrespectful” ad in “Belittling Palin?”
Considering McCain has a non-Caucasian adopted daughter, I can’t imagine, win or lose, that he’ll be proud of his campaign operatives.
Certainly, he’s proven his word means zip.
Lose, he’ll care.
Win, and he won’t give a shit. He’ll be President, and we’ll be screwed.
You thought Cheney was a vindictive bastard? You thought Bush was thin-skinned? Wait until McSame unloads on the Dems and the GOP folk who crossed him over the last 20 years.
The last eight years has proven there is no offense bad enough to impeach a President over. None.
