Not one of us?

It saddens me as I realize that I personally went from disagreeing-with-yet-still-respecting the John McCain camp to complete disgust with the tactics they've come up with. And they are packaging it all in a sensible skirt and naughty librarian heels. A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, I suppose.

Palin's speeches have become so incendiary and even racially tinged that it would be laughable if it weren't so incredibly unfunny. "He's not one of us..."? Really? [psst...Joe Six Pack, Obama's BLACK! Didja notice? He's BLACK!]

They keep trying to pin Obama as a radical, so far to the left it's hard to reach across the aisle, yadda yadda, while at the same time not chastising the right's frightening fringe for calling a state senator (or any human being, for that matter) the N-word.

How did McCain get to this point? What happened, 'Friend?' I've read so many conservative blogs that point out the flaws in Obama's plans, his health care shortcomings, and none of them need to bring up the idea that Obama's a terrorist, or cut quotes short to change their meaning, or the fact that he's black.
