The McCain campaign continues to make its charges, in phone calls to undecided voters around the country, about 'domestic terrorist' Bill Ayers, about which I've written here and here and here. It's really pathetic, I think, with all that confronts us in this country.
But it really says more about McCain and his campaign than it does about Obama. It is so sad and dishonorable to be saying that the Democratic nominee is a friend of terrorists and haters of America, when that is obviously not the case. In their fear of losing, the McCain campaign is engaging in behavior that should discredit it in history.
This kind of thing can only work to generate an extremism of the right which, down the road, could itself lead to more violence and terrorism in our country, of the political assassination and Oklahoma City kind. As one who endured the assassinations of both Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy during my senior year in high school, I have no desire to go there.
Please, Senator McCain, stop it. Listen to your better angels. Stop it now and preserve what honor you have left.
