Senator Barack Obama

Bring Out The Crazy

The volume of crazy e-mails I've been receiving has increased significantly in the last three days. The messages either accuse Senator Obama of being a terrorist sleeper agent, or they claim that he's going to retaliate against all white people. And every single e-mail has accused me of being un-American for supporting such a candidate.

Like I wrote in my Huffington Post column this week, the Neo-McCarthyism and Neo-Southern Strategy are the only tactics that appear to be working for McCain and Palin. And if they end up winning, it'll be heralded as a victory for these tactics.

CORRECTION: Wingnut e-mailer Joe Krasck just reminded me that he, in fact, didn't call me un-American in his particular wingnut e-mail. He's right. Joe Krasck called me a "gigantic asshole" and a "flamer."
