The Real Terrorists
We’ve all read or watched the outrageous claims made by republicans that Barack Obama is a terrorist or has terrorist ties (either to the Weathermen or his supposed Islamic past). In the American eye a terrorist is someone of Islamic faith who has become so brainwashed and racist that they must exact revenge on America. Terrorists spread fear throughout the heart of America. You’ll be lucky if you ever see words like: An individual that believes radical solutions are the only way to solve egregious social problems.
The irony is that at recent speeches by both McCain and Palin supporters have shouted the word “terrorist” in response to questions like “Who is the real Barack Obama” . One supporter even went as far as to shout “Kill him“. They believe that fear-mongering is the only way to stop Obama ascending to the Presidency so they’ll say anything and everything in the hope of stopping him.
It begs the question: Who are the racist, brainwashed, fear-mongering extremists now?
