McCain, Palin Go Below The Belt

With all the dirty politics you're about to see from the McCain campaign, America is going to need a hot shower.

This nonsense about William Ayers is just the beginning. As you probably know by now, Ayers is the 60s radical and former Weathermen terrorist who during the years since has become a political fixture in Chicago. Obama served on a board with Ayers and was the recipient of his political support.

It was only a matter of time before the McCain campaign brought up Ayers. I was a little surprised that they chose Sarah Palin as the attack dog on it, though, since it's such a loathful job. Here's what she said in Clearwater:

"I am just so fearful that this is not a man who sees America the way that you and I see America, as the greatest source for good in this world. I'm afraid this is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to work with a former domestic terrorist who had targeted his own country."

In a recent post I remarked, rather perversely, that I liked Palin's knack for sticking in the knife with a smile on her face. But her shameless ginning up of fear and her claim that Obama "worked" with a domestic terrorist is just despicable. She really is a dangerous little number. The key word is, of course, terrorist -- they want that word, no matter how scurrilously it has been applied, to reverberate through Bubbadom for the next few weeks.

So Obama is in trouble, right? No, this is actually a good sign for the Democratic ticket. It means that McCain has reached a new level of desperation. He promised a clean campaign. He lied.
