John McCain

The Great Fear of 2008

A Bush insider advises McCain:

They need … an eye toward driving out the range of contrast that makes McCain different from Obama (action-oriented rhetoric v. grand prose; accessible v. uppity; humble servant of country v. arrogant).

Has this Bush advisor been living in a hole for the last four months?

('The Great Fear of 2008' is the title of a chapter in my forthcoming book One Nation Under Fear. The chapter documents some of the most egregious instances of racial fear-mongering in America.)
