That One, Indeed

It was only on Sunday last that I posted my condemnation of that dangerous fool from Alaska who has taken to calling in public Barack Obama a friend of terrorists.

The contagion, fueled by desperation and flop-sweat, has spread.

Now, McCain has stepped out from behind his Bush and is spreading the same kind of inflammatory hatred.

Result?

The geeks from the audience are hollering out sweet greetings like, "Kill him!"

Do McCain and his Worst Choice Ever Next to Dan Quayle take responsibility for this detestable behaviour?

And what do you accomplish when you call a political opponent or anyone else standing near you, "That one?"

What you accomplish is that you depersonalize that human being. You reduce that other soul to a number, an object, an object of derision.

There are those among you who want McCain to be the next President.

Mercy on all our souls.
