Beating up 57 year old ladies... NICE

Obama Campaign Worker Allegedly Attacked

I will clarify up front that no arrests have been made in this case yet, so I will reserve ultimate judgment until all the details come out.

However... this kind of violence, much like the reporter who was kicked at a McCain rally last week, is what is to be expected when you hold rallies that use inflammatory language like "socialist" and "pallin' around with terrorists". I expect it to get only worse as McCain continues to sink in the polls because of most moderate and reasonable Americans being turned off by his dishonorable campaign. As his numbers drop, it's going to make the far-right hardliners and other fervent supporters of McCain even more angry and desperate, which will lead to incidents like this.

Trying to rile up and mislead supporters by pushing inflammatory issues like the ACORN scandal (which isn't so much a scandal if you actually read the facts, which unfortunately most Americans won't do), Bill Ayers, and the "Socialist"garb is patently irresponsible and McCain and Palin should take personal responsibility for its results. They might not have intended for things to get this ugly... but honestly... what did they expect? Whether they intended this to happen or not, it did, so they need to accept that and try and bring the country back together rather than continuing to push a wedge between Americans in order to win an election. This is not what Americans need from our leaders.
