McCain-Palin: The Perils Of Promoting The Past As Prologue?
allspinzone.com — John McCain ’s decision to attach the imagery of Bill Ayers to Barack Obama is reckless. By casting this election as a continuation of the ideological conflict that characterized the unrest during the era of the Weathermen, John McCain may well be fomenting the reemergence of radicalism.

"Here’s the issue. Should this tactic be allowed to blossom…and Barack Obama wins this election…the McCain campaign will have played an integral role in legitimizing any ensuing acts of anarchy designed to unseat those who are viewed as promoting a new and unpalatable paradigm. The fact that race could be a consideration serves as an acrid accelerant. By characterizing the opposition as the impetus for dismantling our long standing societal structure, the McCain campaign will have arguably participated in fueling the fires and offering tacit acceptance of those acts undertaken in obligatory opposition." - 08soso, on 10/09/2008, -0/+1I still remember how angry I was at the political establishment's support of a genocidal war and my total inability to effect change no matter how many rallies or votes or letters to the editor. I remember the announcement of the bombing of Hanoi and being driven to tears of anguish about how far off track my country had gone. I thought we were putting those feelings behind us until Iraq. Now into its seventh year, the feels of anger and impotence arise again. And this type of incitement must be doing to those on the other side just what the author suggests. "Kill him", "Terrorist", "treason" - hate those who disagree and hate you back. What kind of world and country is that to try and bring together. This next four weeks may in fact tear us apart and fully as the fifteen years of Vietnam. But McCain is "Country First" after all. Give me a break.
