Not satisfied with his party bringing back the Great Depression, John McCain has decided to usher in his own era of McCarthyism. Of course, in this post Cold War era it would sound ludicrous to yell "communist", so instead McCain has chosen to take the economic angle and accuse Barack Obama of "socialist" policies. Is there no end to the lengths he will go in his campaign of hatred and fear? Is the Republican party so desperate that this is the strategy to which they are reduced? In a campaign that has seen more than its share of negative ads on both sides, McCain has dropped to a new low. As if sending his Alaskan toadie to call Obama a terrorist is not enough, McCain is now trying to scare Americans with the prospect of Barack Obama redistributing our wealth. This dissemination of misinformation is to what McCain has been reduced. The Republicans have few facts on their side, so they have chosen to wage a war of hatred and fear. It is only slightly veiled racism, and represents the worst of what America has to offer. To quote Joseph Welch, "Sir, have you no decency?"
