“ABC News’ Imtiyaz Delawala Reports: Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin invoked fear for the first time when discussing Sen. Barack Obama’s connection to former 60′s radical William Ayers.

‘I am just so fearful that this is not a man who sees America the way that you and I see America — as the greatest source for good in this world,’ Palin said of Obama to 2,000 supporters at a rally in Clearwater, Florida this morning. “I’m afraid this someone who sees America as imperfect enough to work with a former domestic terrorist who had targeted his own country.’

‘This, ladies and gentlemen, has nothing to do with the kind of change that anyone can believe in, not my kids, not for your kids,’ Palin added.” http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/10/palin-plays-fea.html

With only a month to go before the general election, McCain finds himself behind in all the national polls, and most importantly trailing in all the battleground states. McCain feels he has no choice but to play the fear card, and so once again we are forced to endure the spectacle of GOP gutter politics.

Palin is playing the fear card, she is misrepresenting Obama as a radical with dubious personal associations.

It’s ironic that the McCain camp choose Palin to deliver the opening blow of their campaign of dirty tricks, when nobody inspires more fear than the governor of Alaska.

I tremble when I think of the awful prospect of McCain winning the general election, and then quickly dying. That would leave a woman who isn’t even qualified to be a White House clerical employee as leader of the free world.

The choice is quite clear, should we vote for Obama who represents and embodies hope and change, or should we go with a grouchy old man who resorts to playing the fear card?

Playing the fear card is bad enough, but the McCain card is also subliminally playing the race card. Racists see African Americans as different from other Americans, they are the “other” who think differently and act differently. Palin is arguing that “You and I” (read: Whites) see America one way and Obama sees America another way. Obama like most blacks, Palin is subliminally suggesting, is criminally-minded and likely to pal around with other scum like terrorists.

Reckless and desperate politicians rely on fear and racism to inspire citizens to vote for them, and statesmen trust in the goodness of the American people.

Vote for hope and change, and say no to fear and racism by voting for Obama the first Tuesday in November.

Dear Supporter,

FOX’s objective in this presidential race has been painfully clear to us for a while. They have been carpet bombing Barack Obama with negative stories, distortions, and smears in the run up to tomorrow’s Pennsylvania primary in an attempt to skew the outcome. But how could FOX have guessed that the "liberal" media would be such willing accomplices?

We bring to you our latest episode of the gameshow sensation sweeping the nation:
THE FOX IS WRONG: OBAMA!

While the FOXification of the mainstream media is a serious matter, we’ve used humor here to get our message across more effectively. Play along as FOX guests and personalities distort and misrepresent the statements of Obama and those around him, only to have that pesky "liberal" media pick up the smears and keep on running! For the finale, watch in wonder and amazement as ABC’s George Stephanopoulos allows Sean Hannity to spoon-feed him a question on Hannity’s radio show, then parrots it almost word-for-word a day later during ABC’s infamous Democratic debate in Pennsylvania!

If you haven’t yet, sign the petition and demand that the media stop spreading the FOX virus. Then send the petition and the video far and wide to all your friends and colleagues. We need to get our message across faster than the media can spread FOX’s lies.

For an added bonus, check out our last video to see what nine minutes of FOX on Obama looks like (don’t worry, the video is just 54 seconds). There you can get a small taste of FOX’s strategy to saturate their viewers with as many negative Obama stories as a cable line can carry – FOX spews more Obama smears in nine minutes than most networks deliver all day! And remember, this is just a summary of NINE MINUTES on FOX – there are 1,440 minutes every day…

Yours,
Jonathan Kim
and the Brave New Crew
