Restraining the monsters we feed

















Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin have been catching some serious criticism from all sides for neither challenging nor calming the angry crowds at the campaign rallies held for them earlier this week.

But just last night, I saw recent clips of John McCain working to calm down the angry crowds at his rallies and to counter their inflammatory remarks about Barack Obama with clarifying assurances that he knows Obama to be a "decent, family man" who just happens to disagree with him on "fundamental issues." McCain also made clear that, contrary to popular belief, Obama is not "an Arab" (a term that some are using in a derogatory tone as if there is something inherently wrong in being of Arabic descent).

Will the McCain/Palin campaign be able to restrain this xenophobic and racist monstrosity they have been feeding?
