For the them it is all about fear and division. It is what has kept them in power for the last eight years, they do not know any better. Is this any worse than sending out 75000 emails to Jewish voters saying that Obama's politics are the same as what led to the holocaust? True the McCain aide who helped create the email was fired, but did they send out a retraction email to those 75000 people? I doubt it.
Of course, plenty of studies have been done that show that the initial statement sticks far more than the retraction ever does. People don't remember the retractions, they remember the original accusation. The people who come up with these vile tactics know this quite well.
Up here, where my mom lives, they are sticking with the "votes for Obama are votes for the Taliban" angle.... At home, have you heard about the woman who was mugged at an ATM and when the mugger saw her McCain bumpersticker, he beat on her, and supposedly carved a B in her face backwards? I don't know about you but when I am facing someone, if I carved any letter in their face, it would be right way around. It's when you try to write on your own face while looking in the mirror, that it comes out backwards.
She copped to it being a hoax. More embarrassingly, she came from where I'm at: Bryan College Station. Specifically went to Blinn College. Oh yeah, WAY TO GO ASHLEY making Texans look sane and reasonable. Jesus.
These are evidently people who don't fucking read. The Democratic National Platform -- which is practically WORD FOR WORD Obama's -- specifically talks about Israel and maintaining special relations with Israel, isolating Hamas, etc.
I wonder about that, now that you mention it. It must be a test of their Hierarchy of Hate. The Zionist Menace, or Angry Brown People who blow shit up IN AMERICA. Amusingly, I have heard that some of them are supporting Obama in hopes of inciting a proper race war Armageddon. I suspect our variety of fuckwit puts Brown People above Jews in importance of extinction.
