Beware the Bogey Man: A new low, even for McCain and his ignorant
supporters!
On Friday, as he rallied his bigoted, small-minded followers in a suburb
of Minneapolis, John McCain made a most bizarre attempt to reverse the
fear mongering and bigoted tone of his faltering campaign
The incident involved a brief exchange between a pathetic McCain
supporter and her increasingly desperate candidate. What happened was
this: during a rally at Lakeville South High School, McCain handed his
microphone to a woman who expressed her concerns about Barack Obama "I
don't trust Obama,” she said. “I have read about him. He's an Arab."
Just then, for just one unrealistic nanosecond, I naively hoped that
John McCain would take the high road and reject such a bigoted attack
from someone in his painfully ignorant audience. Instead, my heart sank
in disbelief as I heard the response to this ethnic slur from a man who
would be our national leader.
“No, ma’am” offered John {our hero) McCain, “He’s a decent, family man,
[a] citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental
issues and that's what this campaign is all about."
Implicit, of course, in that response was another message: Don’t worry,
ma’am, Barack Obama is NOT an Arab. Unlike Arabs, he’s a decent, family
man.
The malice of that response, of course, was NOT in what was said, but in
what was NOT said.
