John McCain

Violence Mongering

Thankfully we're not alone in our belief that the McCain campaign is inciting violence against Senator Obama. Coates:

These men didn't kill Martin Luther King, but they contributed to an atmosphere of nationalism, white supremacy and cheap unreflective patriotism that ultimately got a lot of people killed.

Someone needs to step up to McCain -- and especially Palin -- and put a stop to this before someone gets hurt. I can't be more serious about this. McCain and Palin are treading on dangerous ground here.

UPDATE: David Gergen concurs:

"There is a free-floating sort of whipping-around anger that could really lead to some violence. And I think we're not far from that."
