Frank Schaeffer says:
John McCain: If your campaign does not stop equating Sen. Barack Obama
with terrorism, questioning his patriotism and portraying Mr. Obama as "not one of us," I accuse you of deliberately feeding the most unhinged
elements of our society the red meat of hate, and therefore of
potentially instigating violence.... You have a choice: Go down in history as a decent senator and an
honorable military man with many successes, or go down in history as
the latest abettor of right-wing extremist hate.
Christopher Hitchens says:
The most insulting thing that a politician can do is to compel you to
ask yourself: "What does he take me for?" Precisely this question is
provoked by the selection of Gov. Sarah Palin. I wrote not long ago
that it was not right to condescend to her just because of her
provincial roots or her piety, let alone her slight flirtatiousness,
but really her conduct since then has been a national disgrace. It
turns out that none of her early claims to political courage was
founded in fact, and it further turns out that some of the untested
rumors about her -- her vindictiveness in local quarrels, her bizarre
religious and political affiliations -- were very well-founded,
indeed.
These are GOP opinions that I can respect. I love that John Cleese youtube about S. Palin; have you seen it?
