All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just realized that Gud's "some people need to chill the fuck out" statement was directed at me. I wasn't talked about McCain. I was talking about the things that the people in that video I linked to were saying. I think McCain is probably terrified of the craziness he and Palin have unleashed, which is why he backed away from the mess he's been making today. But I do think that the way he and Palin have been talking about Obama has mobilized a group of people holding some very ugly opinions about Obama, not to mention the rest of America.
Anyway, if you were confused, I don't think McCain is a radical. I think he's an opportunist willing to say just about anything that will get him elected. And I think that he just today realized that he was crossing a line.

Don't know what we consider a radical. Bush is a radical compared to the Presidents before him. And McCain is to the right of Bush on foreign policy.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I thought it was directed at the McCain supporters in the article you linked to.

Corwood, I read it as billytea did, FWIW.

Oh, that made me tear up-- that was soooooo sweet.
ION, Gronk. I didn't even make it to ten last night before I passed out. However, didn't sleep well because Mooshu's yeast infection seems to be back and he spent the night snorfling and biting at his groin.
God, but that's loud.

McCain did earn back a little of the respect he's lost from me by trying to tell the crazies that you can actually disagree with someone and think your approach is better without demonizing them.

I was just writing elsewhere: "Eating crow is the least he deserves under the circumstances." Personally, I'd condemn him to have to write "Barack Obama is an honest and decent man" one hundred times on a chalkboard, to be simulcast on all networks.

Apparently, though, when McCain finally told the crazies to chill, he was booed: [link]
Part of me is a little worried about what might happen on election night if Obama *wins.* Is that crazy?
