Racism and general nuttery on the Palin campaign trail continues

It’s not a shock to hear Palin herself continue the terrorism charges. Nor, in terms of social psychology and the need of many, especially people worried about being on some “margin” themselves, for an “enemy.”

But, for the racism to continue to bubble up as part of that is disgusting, even if it too isn’t shocking.

And, John McCain can try to play either innocent or uncomprehending; he knows it’s out there, and his “respectful” call is being ignored.

“Reap the whirlwind,” Schmuck Talk Express™; reap the whirlwind.

Sen. McCain, all it takes is a short, simple statement. One like this:

“I do not want racists supporting my campaign for president. I do not want them at my rallies, or those of Gov. Palin. I do not want them voting for the McCain-Palin ticket.”

That’s all it takes, Sen. McCain. That’s all it takes.

If, in the last two and a half weeks of the campaign, you really want to regain your dignity, if nothing else, you might try making a statement like that.
