MCCAIN/PALIN & RNC SINK TO DISTURBING NEW LOW

The McCain/Palin Campaign, through the Republican National Committee (which, when you're the candidate for President of the United States, is one and the same), have sunk to a very disturbing, disgusting and dangerous new low.

My brother in Illinois sent me a email from a friend of his. Attached to the email was the following jpeg of a mailer that the RNC sent out in a mass mailing.

Below is what my brother's friend said in his email. The capitalization is all his. Obviously, he is very upset:

I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW LOW THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE HAS GONE!! THIS IS THEIR NEW MAILING THAT INFERS OBAMA IS A TERRORIST!! THIS IS NOT FROM SOME FAR RIGHT GROUP – IT IS FROM THE RNC.

I DON’T CARE IF YOU’RE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT, THE SCARE TACTICS, THE FEAR, THE LIES AND THE DANGER OF INCITING REALLY KOOKIE PEOPLE WITH THIS KIND OF MAILING IS THE LOWEST, MOST VILE FORM OF POLITICS I HAVE EVER SEEN!!

IT’S ONE THING TO ATTACK THE POSITION OF AN OPPONENT, BUT THIS IS ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT!!! THIS REALLY SCARES ME!! THERE ARE A LOT OF CRAZIES IN THIS COUNTRY THAT NEED VERY LITTLE EXCUSE TO ACT OUT THEIR THOUGHTS. THIS TYPE OF CAMPAIGN LITERATURE COULD INCITE ALL KINDS OF AWFUL EVENTS.

THIS IS CHARACTER ASSASSINATION AND NOT ONLY DOES IT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH TAKING A NEGATIVE POSITION WITH RESPECT TO OBAMA’S POSITIONS ON THE ISSUES, IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND DANGEROUS.

I HOPE EVERYONE THAT SEE’S THIS, REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT, IS AS INCENSED AS I AM AND WILL DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO LET THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE KNOW THAT THIS DANGEROUS, INCITEFUL AND DIVISIVE ACTION IS UNACCEPTABLE.

I HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING OUR INCUMBENT REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN, FRED UPTON, BUT HIS SIGN IS COMING OUT OF MY LAWN TODAY AS LONG AS THE RNC EMPLOYS SUCH LOW TACTICS.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, THE WEB ADDRESS TO EMAIL TO THE RNC IS: http://www.gop.com/Connect/ContactUs.htm

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF EMAIL ADDRESSES SUCH AS COMMUNICATIONS AND POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OPERATIONS.

I BELIEVE EACH ONE OF US NEEDS TO ASK, REGARDLESS OF WHO IS ELECTED, WHAT WILL BE THE LONG-TERM EFFECT OF THIS ACTION? AS FOR ME, I BELIEVE IT WILL FOSTER FEAR, HATRED, DISTRUST AND DIVISION AT A TIME WHEN AMERICA NEEDS UNITY AS NEVER BEFORE.

PLEASE CONSIDER JOINING WITH ME IN LETTING OTHERS KNOW THIS ACTION IS FRIGHTENING AND NEEDS TO STOP!!

The McCain/Palin campaign and the Republican Party have turned themselves into racist, religious fanatics who would clearly stop at nothing to win this election.

As I've said in the past, I used to like John McCain. That was before he did his infamous 180 in his fervent and seemingly blind support of everything Bush. And now, with this latest turn of what has become a bastardized version of his own personal morality, I've lost whatever modicum of respect I had for him.

He has become an embittered, sad old man whose once grand legacy has become completely and irreparably tarnished. This is not a person who deserves anyone's support.
