BraveNewFilms and Color of Change have joined together to help stop the divisive, dangerous tone emanating from the McCain/Palin campaign. From Color of Change : In the last few weeks, Senator McCain and Governor Palin, rhetoric at your campaign events has taken an increasingly dangerous tone that seems to ignore the precarious state of our progress when it comes to race and ethnicity. Supporters...

Hey John McCain! When your campaign has chosen a running mate whose pals back home are racist, anti-government far right-wing extremists, it's no surprise what sort of dangerous fanatics will continue to show up at her rallies : Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, made her first Scranton appearance today at Riverfront Sports Complex. She took the stage joined by her...

I'm not holding my breath in these last desperate weeks waiting for an end to it, but Brave New Films and The Color of Change are calling for McCain/Palin to condemn the hate and fearmongering being perpetrated by those angry mobs of supporters. They stoked the fires and now we see this: We'd like to talk about the pressing issues facing our country: the woeful economy, rising unemployment, the housing...

McCain is getting desperate as polls show state after state slipping from his grasp. How soon before Utah is a battleground state? A friend of mine in Phoenix told me that if Obama decided to challenge him in Arizona he could probably win there too. McCain's biggest ally in the Arizona congressional delegation, the corrupt and contemptible rubber stamp John Shadegg, just saw his own race downgraded,...

iPhone users: Click to watch Is the McCain/Palin campaign stoking racism and xenophobia to win votes? You betcha! My favorite part is the McCain supporter proudly holding a stuffed monkey labeled "Obama" who he calls "Little Hussein."

Color of Change and Brave New Films have just released a new video documenting the McCain-Palin strategy of formenting hate and fear at their rallies. This video flies in the face of Jonah Goldberg’s claim in the LA Times that “Obama’s Getting Off Easy”. When did you hear anyone calling out “Kill Him” at a [...]

It is a fact that there are folks out there who actually believe that Barack Obama is an Arab, a Muslim, a terrorist, a communist or some combination of all four, and who believe that those of us who describe ourselves as progressive, liberal or even as nondescript Democrats, are traitors and appeasers who represent a clear and present threat to the security of the republic. Add to that the Republican...

Another "lone wacko" says exactly the same thing at a McCain-Palin rally as the other "lone wacko." Funny how it seems so coordinated, like it's an expected response to fearmongering and incitement. There were no incendiary outbursts from the crowd about Mr. Obama during Mrs. Palin's speech, as there have been during other recent McCain-Palin rallies. However, someone did shout out, "Kill him!" during...

We'd like to talk about the pressing issues facing our country: the woeful economy, rising unemployment, the housing crisis, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But we can't talk about them because John McCain and Sarah Palin have distracted us with the politics of hate and fear. Instead of discussing the real issues plaguing Americans, McCain and Palin have turned to fear-mongering and race-baiting...

Regardless of your political affiliation, you can send Senator McCain and/or Governor Palin an email and tell them how you feel about the hate that is permeating their campaign: info@johnmccain.com. And in case you missed it, in Scranton, PA today someone else yelled "Kill him" at a Palin rally.

This is the kind of campaign tenor Sarah Palin will be bringing to our state today: I'm sure the media will be covering in detail each section of Palin's " My Stunning Lack of Qualifications Lost New Hampshire's Four Electoral Votes for McCain " tour, but it's still important, if you are attending any of these events tomorrow, to bring your impressions here if you can. Documenting the horror show that...

This video is dedicated to the idiot s who disagreed with my op-ed piece discussing The Game's statement on race, which I titled Memo to The Game: Yes, It's Still About Race . How much longer will our country -- and the world for that matter -- have to deal with this bullshit? This election is a wake up call for Americans to take a good look at themselves in the mirror. Ask yourselves: Do you like...

McCain/Palin campaign rallies continue to be white trash freak shows. McCain/Palin supporters appear to be a mix between Pavlov's Dogs and Werewolves. When Obama's name is mentioned, some yell "Kill him!" some yell "Terrorist!" and some just bark, growl and froth at the mouth as their eyes roll back into their head in Satanic ecstasy. I assume most of these "Americans" claim fealty to Jesus Christ....
