They are starting early with the racist stuff. I can't see him competing for African American voters with this kind of thing in his campaign. I don't think I have seen outright racist stuff (except for Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond) like this in 50 years.

4. I will not be surprised when they dump a lot of $$ into the KKK. It is now clear
they are going full bore with racism.

3. I love the comment by "liberal traitor":

Well that was quick. I just emailed TP about this like 15 minutes ago haha. Or maybe they had it in the “tubes” already and it is coincidence.

Anyway, point being, this would be even more hilarious than it is if it weren’t so…well…racist and tragic.

6. This campaign will expose them for the privileged, country-club, gated community
out-of-touch haters the Republicans really are--finally.

Most of us knew it all along.

7. McCain is so weak, he can't even begin to control his own party.....
of which he is supposed to lead.

Just that on its own makes him ineligible to become Commander in Chief.
He can't lead himself out of a paper bag.
That's scary. :scary:

8. Looks like he is not trying to control this. This is his base. He can't say
anything. He needs this stuff to fire up his base.

12. Than he's no leader.
Just a fool with his fingers crossed hoping that the scurge of racism helps him win. He's a piece of shit then.
