Cries Of Racism

Well, it was bound to happen. As soon as McCain starts attacking the man Obama, members of his claque (in this case John Lewis) have started the cry that the Republicans are being "racist". This has worked so well in the past to silence any criticism of ANYONE who is "of color" that the Dems and their constituencies (variations are: "sexist"; "bigoted"; etc.) have the charge at the ready so that the individual under attack or the party or the group can trot it out to frighten their opponents (usually "conservative" or "right wing") into abject apology mode followed by immediate silence, in hopes of changing the subject.

Sadly it always works. In this case McCain has begun to chastise the more belligerent members of his audience and to fall all over himself to vouch for "the One".

Naturally, the press are in the audience monitoring the chatter of the more rambunctious members of McCain's followers, looking for insult to broadcast to the American public and to "shame" the Republicans into silence. Of course, they report nothing about the chatter in the Dems' crowds. Surely the members of the loony left that adore the Exotic Messiah have some very enthusiastic "admonitions" for McCain, Palin and the rest of the "right". But then these followers of the righteous one are only expressing justified anger and not - like the Republicans - "hate".

Actually, if the press ever wanted to be fair and DO THEIR JOB, all they need to do is to report fully on the hate spewing from Obama's devoted followers in the entertainment industry who are on the airwaves regularly (see Bill Maher and Jon Stewart, for example) spewing out the most outrageous insults at McCain and Palin on any given night. All in fun of course - they are sophisticates and don't do "HATE".
