critter1982 – John McCain had NOTHING to do with this dumbass carving her own face.
However, that quote that johnpowell posted, that was the President of Fox News.
And the reason he’s saying it is because the McCain/Palin ticket has been using language that come off as race baiting to those who think a certain way. In other words, it’s no accident that people have been able to interview literally dozens of people after any given Palin rally who will talk about how they ain’t gonna vote for that dangerous nigger, without giving it a second thought. They are intentionally trying to make Obama seem “otherly”, and now the fact that they have inspired someone to pretend to be attacked and blame it on a black man, well fair or not, that is not going to sit well. So even though McCain didn’t set this up, it looks really bad for his campaign…not to you, and not to me per se. But when you’ve got all these uber-right wing douchebags feigning indignation over this whole thing (yet downplaying actual incidents of incendiary rhetoric at Palin rallies and never once touching the story of the family in Chicago which got a death threat in their mailbox for having Obama signs in their yard, or the female Obama canvaser that was punched in the face by a McCain supporter, or the people who’ve had their Obama signs replaced by confederate flags…stuff that didn’t happen before they embarked on their “we can’t trust him” campaign of smear mail and robocalls).
Bottom line, you reap what you sow.
