And, just as McCain was forced to accept (and opportunistically embrace) the MLK holiday, he'll either be forced to (opportunistically) recognize and acknowledge the historic candidacy of this black man -- which so many Americans ignored by McCain's privileged class in Washington have put their faith (and votes) behind to effect the changes they're demanding -- or he'll just slip in with and sidle up to those bigots and racists who refuse to accept blacks as their equal.
“So nobody really thinks that Bush or McCain have a real answer for the challenges we face, so what they’re going to try to do is make you scared of me,” Sen. Obama said in response to his republican rival's mocking, disparaging campaign. “You know, he’s not patriotic enough. He’s got a funny name. You know, he doesn’t look like all those other presidents on those dollar bills, you know. He’s risky. That’s essentially the argument they’re making."
Most Americans know better than John McCain. In fact, most Americans identify with those traits and intentions of Barack Obama McCain insists they should fear or reject. From McCain's unswerving support in this election of every aspect of the defunct Bush administration, to his promises to continue the madness into infinity, he has placed himself in a different universe than the majority of Americans; a throwback to the era where we didn't already know and live through the consequences of Bush's unbridled militarism and the raid of our treasury by the administration's corporate cabal; a throwback to the era where he and his advantaged class lorded their wealth and privilege over the rest of us, with impunity.
John McCain stands with bigots and racists as he practices a derisive campaign which he's reserved for his black rival for the presidency alone. We don't have to know whether John McCain is bigoted or racist to make that judgment. We know where he stands in this election.
