lapsedmodernistI just wanted to post this for all the people on my friendslist who giving McCain itsy-bitsy gold stars for "acting decently" and telling his supporters in front of the national media that Obama is "not a Muslim":
McCain Volunteers Taught to Accuse Obama of Terrorism
According to Time, McCain campaign staffers in Virginia are teaching volunteers to see Barack Obama as having terrorist 'friends,' and then providing these volunteers with arguments for persuading voters that Sen. Obama, like Osama Bin Laden, shares responsibility for bombings of the Pentagon.

Because the way I'm portrayed 24/7 is as a freak! I am the latte-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant liberal. Who wants somebody like that?"
