McPalinism

As the election year nears its end, the McCain / Palin ticket continues to assault its near dead campaign by taking a queue from the past. Instead of using the sensible, intelligent and classy tactic of sticking to the issues, they have chosen to appeal to their inner nazi by questioning the patriotism of their opponents and any other American who doesn't agree with their WHITE and rosy view of the United States.

All this talk of pro American pockets of the country, a GOP Congresswoman calling for the media to suss out other Congress members for anti Americanism and robo calls implying Obama's a terrorist is reviving the spirit of the McCarthyism era. This period in history was known as the Second Red Scare and spanned a little more than decade. Senator Joeseph McCarthy sought communists at all levels of society from those employed by the federal government, union leaders, teachers, actors and anyone else narced out to the House Un-American Activities Committee. This was a dangerous time when the civil rights of citizens were curtailed and lives ruined all in the name of some inflated communist threat.

It pains yet relieves me to see these neoconservatives that hijacked the Republican party resort to such tactics. Its pains me because its now is really not the time for further divide us politically. We are on the cusp of significant global and domesitc changes and do need this silly divisive bullshit to distract us from progressing as a nation.

I'm relieved because most Americans aren't buying it. They see that these tactics are indicative of desperation not a geniune concern. McCain, Palin and others of the neocon GOP know there world is over and the only way to stay relevant is to scare the shit out of people, but it won't work this time. Why should Americans fear Osama Bin Laden (dead anyways) or Al Quaeda when the economic terrorists on Wall Street may deliver us another Depression?

I guess the GOP has already accepted its lost and is like "FUCK IT".

Palin herself needs to answer for un American activities regarding her ties to the Alaskan secessionist movement. Her husband was once a member, therefore she is right? Isn't that the logic the used against Obama regarding Wright and Ayers? That bitch should be the first to appear before Michele Bachmann's new HUAC (oh wait, she's another GOP bitch that's going to lose her seat soon).
