Fear Mongering Schizophrenic campaign

Robo-calls, Palin rallies and TV ads all try to smear Barack Obama's name by associating him with a "washed up terrorist" in McCain's own words. Now although the McCain campaign is actively pursing this mud slinging tactic, when someone at his own rally declares he is afraid of an Obama presidency because he associated with domestic terrorists, McCain tells him that Obama is a decent man and he does not need to be afraid of him, to the round of a booing crowd. Is he schizophrenic? Is he senile? Why is McCain denying what his own campaign is so avidly trying to do: strike unwarranted fear into the hearts of poorly informed, easily swayed, ignorant Americans.
This is not only inaccurate and inappropriate it is highly irrepsonsible and dangerous. Barack Obama, as the first viable African American Candidate for president of the US, is already at a great risk to his life. He was given a secret service escort earlier in his campaign than any presidential candidate in history. Now Palin has people yelling at her rallies "terrorist" and "kill him". In my opinion, this is endangering the life of Obama even further. If anything happens to him, Palin AND McCain should be held accountable. Even Colin Powell has endorsed Senator Obama partly due to this petty and irresponsible campaigning by the McCain camp.
McCain has dug his own grave by aligning himself with George W. Bush, the worst president in American history. His ambition has overtaken his integrity. John McCain has sunk to the lowest common denominator, that of the current administration. Politics above policy. He wants to be president at all costs, including the cost of his own conscience. He is clearly uncomfortable with the turn his own campaign has taken as evidenced by his denial of the claims at his own rallies. He says he is not George Bush but he has made every effort to become just like him, including using the same robo-call tactics against Obama that McCain decried when they were used by Bush against McCain himself.
Fascists over the centuries have used the same fear mongering tactics to rise to power over and over again, but this time it looks like it may backfire against the McCain campaign.
I sincerely hope that Barack Obama landslides to victory on November 4th. I hope that this country sends a message that racism, fear mongering, and mud slinging are not going to be tolerated especially at a time when this country needs policies that work, thoughtful decision making, and a president that puts this country's well being before his/her own political ambitions.
