tongodeon does a lovely job of keeping track of some of the fun stuff, The Ugliness of the McCain Campaign. Ok, so I am trying to wonder if the reason that folks are noticing some of this madness, is well, because of the economic pressure - and well, changing horses in mid stream, has not allowed for the simpler attacks on the need to support the president to support the troops. A meme some of us found funny back in 1968, since the Peace Candidate Nixon had not yet become the War Lord... but I guess this problem with 'anti-intellectualism in american life' has been around for a while now, eh?
So yeah, check it out, it sooo gets freaky looooking at the list...
But if you go back to the election of Al Smith, we have been through some of this before... back then, the KKK did not consider Roman Catholics the same as white people....
