As Obama holds a steady lead in the polls, the slime-ball McCain campaign has switched gears — and become a decrepit and segregationist “swift-boating” morass of Racism.

Fear and Smear is the new economic policy of McCain and Palin.

At a time when most Americans are really anxious about their economic future, John McCain has unleashed the “racist syphilis” in him, which is being peddled from state to state by his wicked witch - the shallow fork-tongued interlectual midget, and now, the female-bigot from Alaska, Sarah Palin.

“Our opponent … is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough, that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country,” Palin told a group of donors in Englewood, Colo. “This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America,” she said. “We see America as a force of good in this world. We see an America of exceptionalism.”

This despicable smear slyly suggests that Obama is a terrorist, scary, alien, un-American, a subversive, a traitor and a criminal….”like every other black man.”

Pure McCarthyism laced with Nativist Racism.

McCain’s rallies have become HATE MEETINGS, with some braying for Obama’s life!

Last week’s VP debate, which only the “delusionally sick” believe Palin won, has emboldened Sarah the bigot.” She is now trotting around with the hardened resolve of a hardcore prostitute, squealing like a pig at feeding time.

Palin’s statement(s) seem to be the “whistle” the pack of Syphilitic Nincompoops at Fox News, led by the in-house Nazi Sean Hannity, have been waiting for.

They are trying their utmost best to portray Obama as some “Manchurian Candidate” who will sneak into the White House and then nuke every city in America. To them, Obama is from the “politically soiled and filthy culture of Chicago,” unfit to be an American — maybe he is a member of the Chicago mob, a recipe for a tragedy!

The sickest of them all at Fox news is Sean Hannity — who has repeatedly mis-characterized Obama’s “air-raiding villages” statement, among many other distortions and outright lies.

On his show, Hannity & Colmes (O’Hannity & Coward), Sean Hannity praised Gov. Sarah Palin for citing Sen. Barack Obama’s remark that more coalition forces are needed in Afghanistan “so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there.” Hannity did not note that Defense Secretary Robert Gates recently offered Afghans “sincere condolences and personal regrets for the recent loss of innocent life as a result of coalition airstrikes” and that news outlets have repeatedly reported that U.S. airstrikes in Afghanistan have resulted in civilian casualties….

On his radio show(s), Rush Limbaugh (the other big right-wing scum-bag on radio) has made numerous false statements about Obama’s health-care plan, his employment history, his legislative record, his work on behalf of veterans, and whether he puts his hand over his heart during the national anthem….

Dick Morris the Toe-Sucking Tax Cheat, a Fox News analyst, took the distortion up two notches, when he said that Obama’s relationship with William Ayers is “The Equivalent Of Having A Close Relationship With Osama Bin Laden.”

McCain is using the same tactics Bush used on him in the 2000 Republican Primaries, when Bush waged a nasty smear campaign against him.

In 2008 McCain has become McBush:

Obama should not let McCain get away with it, for now that McCain and Palin have declared war, the following issues are game:

1. Palin’s connection with the Kenyan Witch-Doctor cum Pastor — Thomas Muthee

2. The current Palin hearings for mis-use of office in Alaska.

3. Todd Palin, the governor’s husband was a member of the secessionist Alaska Independence Party from 1995 to 2002.

4. McCain’s association with hate-monger — Pastor John Hagee

5. McCain’s involvement in the Keating Five - Savings and Loans scandal, which almost derailed his career. The Keating scandal is eerily similar to the financial crisis of today.

….and a lot more.

Obama being the “nice man” that he is, might not be willing to stab McCain right through the heart, but I strongly feel that he should at least kick him hard in the groin by bringing up the issue of Carol McCain — McCain’s first wife, who he dumped immediately after he came back from Vietnam, for Cindy and her “Beer Inheritance,” and because he couldn’t stand her disfigured body — after a terrible car crash in 1969.

John McCain is a sleazy, racist opportunist.

He has apologized for opposing a holiday to honor Martin Luther King Jr. He has apologized for refusing to call for the removal of a Confederate flag from South Carolina’s Capitol.

Sixty seven percent of Republicans just helped reject the bailout plan by a vote of 228-205. And, wall street is responding accordingly — the markets are tanking.

The situation is so bad that GAY Democrat Barnett “Barney” Frank, offered to be “uncharacteristically nice” to those Republicans who voted against the bailout — because they didn’t like the “partisan speech” by the speaker of the house — Nancy Pelosi.

One of these despicable ReTHUGlicans, representative Darrell Issa, said he was “resolute” in his opposition to the measure because it would betray party principles and amount to “a coffin on top of Ronald Reagan’s coffin.”

Yes …that long dead Ronald Reagan — the SERIAL LYING REPUBLICAN GOD, who still tickles GOP politician’s up the ass!

Just in case you are wondering, here are Ronald Reagan’s (the president of “sunny optimism“) Top 10 Greatest Achievements.

Even the “erratic and confused” John McCain, who just moments before the vote pre-maturely pro-claimed a vote success (due to his hard work) — while at the same time blaming Obama for inaction, must be stunned!

After “suspending” his campaign to provide “leadership” in Washington during this financial crisis — McSAME’s erratic politicking has failed once more, and Obama looks a lot more presidential.

What a shame!

It is the same Republicans who stymied the immigration bill last year, led by racist NAZI radio/TV talk show hosts, syphilitic maggots like Lou Dobbs, Rush Limbaugh, Sean “Mahoney” O’Hannity and a host of others, who incited an avalanche of “Working Class Whites” to “SPAM” congressional phone lines with NATIVIST rage, scaring the bejesus out of their elected officials.

Almost instantly, stocks plunged in wall street and the Dow lost nearly 600 points. It came in stunning defiance of President Bush and Congressional leaders of both parties, who said the bailout was needed to prevent a widespread financial collapse…..[MORE]

The candidates have been courting this essential voting bloc, including speeches this week to La Raza. One thing is clear: Latinos will not be ignored.

SAN DIEGO —  During Barack Obama’s speech to the 40th annual conference of the National Council of La Raza Sunday, the presumptive Democratic nominee casually referred to “my friend Hillary Clinton.”

The Latino radio talk show host next to me quipped, “So they’re friends now?”

“Yeah,” I joked. “That’s how you know neither of them is Latino. We’ll hold a grudge for 500 years.”

Latinos aren’t known to forgive and forget. And that’s a problem for John McCain, who spoke Monday. The presumptive Republican nominee has put at risk decades of support from Latino voters in Arizona because of the perception he flip-flopped on immigration. Whereas once he talked about the need for a comprehensive approach that includes giving illegal immigrants a path to citizenship, he now calls first for securing the border.

But for many Latinos, it’s not just what McCain says that is the problem. It’s why he says it. He’s clearly attempting to placate the nativist fringe of the GOP. So the message that Latinos take away is that the Arizona senator is a fair-weather friend.

A foolhardy strategy

McCain is on a fool’s errand. The nativists detest him for, among other things, calling them nativist. Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum tried to torpedo McCain in the Republican primaries by revealing that, in a private meeting with GOP senators during the immigration debate, McCain scolded his colleagues for being “xenophobic.” He told them that by being tough on the borders, many Latinos would see it as a racist attack, and he was right. Now many Latinos see McCain as bending under pressure. They want a guarantee that, if elected, it’ll be the old McCain that tackles immigration reform.

Just as he did when the candidates spoke before the National Association of Latino Elected Officials and the League of United Latin American Citizens, Obama wasted no time in jabbing at McCain’s weak spot. Saying that he once admired McCain because he “used to buck his own party on immigration,” Obama accused his opponent of abandoning that stance. “I don’t know about you,” Obama said. “But I think it’s time for a president who won’t walk away from something as important as comprehensive reform when it becomes politically unpopular.”

The line brought down the house while stinging McCain. When he spoke the next day, McCain made reference to Obama’s attack and sought to “correct the record.” He spelled out the “hard votes” he cast in the Senate in 2005 and 2007 in favor of the comprehensive reform plan he co-authored. And he said Obama declined to cast some of those votes and, in fact, sponsored labor-friendly amendments intended to kill the legislation.

“I never ask any special privileges from anyone just for having done the right thing,” McCain said. “Doing my duty to my country is its own reward. But I do ask for your trust that when I say that I remain committed to fair, practical and comprehensive immigration reform, I mean it.” That straight talk also drew a strong crowd response. Latinos value loyalty, and many are inclined to stay loyal to McCain.

Many people around the country were probably watching to see how the presidential candidates handled their appearances before the nation’s largest and perhaps most controversial Latino advocacy group. I’d call it a draw.

The irony is that, for U.S.-born Hispanics in particular, immigration is just one issue. They tell pollsters they care about Iraq, the economy, education and health care, just like other Americans. But with the immigration debate so heated and the national mood so ugly, Hispanics are more intensely interested in the issue than they were a few years ago when the waters were calm. In fact, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, a majority of Hispanics say immigration is a top issue that will influence their votes in November.

La Raza’s mission

As part of that ugliness, the candidates have been criticized for even bothering to court Latino voters. CNN’s Lou Dobbs regularly blasts La Raza as a “socio-ethnocentric organization.” Apparently, the phrase refers to anyone who stands up to fear-mongers who seek attention  —  and ratings  —  by setting off cultural alarm bells and poisoning race relations.

If anything, La Raza has been too corporate, too cautious and too co-opted by Fortune 500 companies seeking an entrée into the $800 billion-a-year Latino market. When its leaders needed to be raising hell, they were raising corporate donations and foundation dollars and steering clear of controversies that could put either in jeopardy.

President and CEO Janet Murguia, who took the reins a few years ago, has been more aggressive in defense of Hispanics. In April, Murguia informed the National Press Club that the immigration debate had turned hateful and that all Hispanics  —  even the 80% who are U.S. citizens or legal residents —  are feeling the backlash. Murguia vowed, “We will not be demonized. We will not be scapegoated. And we will not be ignored.”

Given recent events, I’d say there is little chance of that.
