Some people are so idiotic, so over-the-top nutty, that one can only assume they escaped from some mental hospital. The American elections have got to a stage where even the John McCain campaign has distanced itself from these supposed pro-Clinton anti-Obama nutcases (oh sorry, “Democrats”).
Some points I want to make.
No doubt some of these nutcase are whites who are desperate to prove that somehow Obama (or Michelle) are racist and therefore happily peddle lies about some tape. Like, apparently, there are such huge policy differences between Obama and Clinton that these people will vote McCain. These people just don’t want a black man in power, though they won’t admit it.
And then I’m interested in why the black pastor in the video has it in for Obama… there’s lots of comparisons to Hitler but its unclear why he thinks Obama will bring on the Fourth Reich.
Much of this reminds me of the sectarianism that envelops the left in this country - when lefties throw their toys out of the pram and start screaming betrayal if they don’t get what they want. Some on the US left have now taken up the task of proving to others (but mostly themselves) that Obama is a conservative! It’s the People’s Front of Judea! Boo! Hiss! Trotskyites annoy me like no other political group.
But lastly, I do have some grudging respect for these people in that at least they admit that not voting for Obama means voting for McCain. It’s a two party system: at least it’s better than sitting there screaming hysterically about how Obama is the devil’s incarnate and then saying you’re still progressive and that you still hate the Republicans people should just sit at home. Now that’s silly.
One responder to that article says:
I’ll take McCain over Obama every time, at least he loves America.
Oh, why not tell us what you really think? It’s going to be a long and dirty fight… I feel exhausted already.
