McCain just keeps sinking lower and lower in my estimation. At a rally yesterday afternoon:
At one point, McCain asked, “Who is the real Barack Obama?” A member of the crowd yelled out, “a terrorist!” McCain paused while the audience laughed at the comment, and then continued with his attack — without condemning or admonishing the audience member.
(Watch it
here.)
Which mirrors his running mate's
non-response yesterday when an audience member yelled the words "Kill him!".
Combined with the rot spewing from the mouths of the McCain and Palin themselves (in particular, the terrorism-linking, and the
"Obama's not like you and I" veiled racism) I just hope McCain's notorious temper is revealed to the world in this upcoming debate. Perhaps I've got a short memory, but I don't even recall Bush being this negative back in 2004. And to think back to the Democrat convention when Obama sought to rise above it by insisting that neither candidate should question the intentions, the honour or the patriotism of the other - that both should take that as a given.
How desperate must McCain be right now?
