Who Are John McCain and Sarah Palin?

The fear mongers and race baiters are rearing their ugly heads again. Repeatedly, speakers at McCain-Palin rallies -- one in a sheriff's uniform -- rile up their base by referring to the Democratic presidential candidate as Barack Hussein Obama. At the same time John McCain and Sarah Palin crassly accuse Obama of "palling around with terrorists" even though they are perfectly aware that this incendiary charge is blatantly false. By now, everyone with a pulse knows that Senator Obama has only had the most superficial contacts with Bill Ayers, a founder of the radical Weathermen of the late 1960s and early 1970s, who had become a respected Chicago educator long before the two first crossed paths. McCain and Palin also know, but somehow never bother to mention, that Obama has called Ayers "somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/menachem-rosensaft/who-strongarestrong-john_b_133551.html
