Tell McCain to End the Politics of Hate

Sign the petition: http://therealmccain.com/mob

We'd like to talk about the pressing issues facing our country: the woeful economy, rising unemployment, the housing crisis, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But we can't talk about them because John McCain and Sarah Palin have distracted us with the politics of hate and fear.

Instead of discussing the real issues plaguing Americans, McCain and Palin have turned to fear-mongering and race-baiting, stoking the prejudices of their supporters. The situation has become so critical that we've teamed up with Color of Change to put an end to these dangerous mob scenes.

Things have gotten so out of control that some conservatives have come forward to denounce McCain and Palin's hate-mongering. In an Op-Ed for The Baltimore Sun, Frank Schaeffer writes: "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."

Don't let McCain and Palin undo the decades spent fighting for civil rights and equality in our country.

I have no idea how we let McCain get away with his racism in his campaign for President. It's disgusting.

803.... The Civil War or The War Between The States, which ever you like, is OVER and you need to get over the hate that you've been taught. And if you can't do that, then you are no better than the Jews and Muslims in the Middle East.

McCain a traitor? Dont agree with the man on everything but certainly he is a patriot. At least he fought for his country, unlike yourself most likely.

@nwcboy Here is the difference, these attacks on Obama during his campaign were mostly unfounded and based on his race, and speculation of his religion (Muslim = terrorist) rather than his actual politics. That said, while I completely disagree with Scott Walkers attempt to remove union bargaining rights, people on both sides tend to take things waaaay to far, and some of the attacks on Scott were probably just as outrageous.

And how is this ANY different from what Obama and the Media/Union THUGS are doing in Wisconsin to Scott Walker?? Hate speech, violent threats, slander sounds EXACTLY the same!
