From a McCain/Palin Campaign Rally
When Arne H. (Helge) Carlson, a former Republican Governor of Minnesota endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, he criticized his fellow Republicans for waging a mean-spirited campaign that has "been going down all these side roads." Rep. John Murtha, who recently called constituents in his western Pennsylvania town "racist" because Barack Obama may not win big there, is only 4 points ahead of his Republican challenger, retired Army Lt. Col. William Russell. Both Carlson and Murtha are honorable men of integrity and should be supported and commended for their courageous acts of seeing and recognizing evil.
At a recent Palin’s campaign stop in Ohio, a camera man recorded the following comments from some of our sick white brothers and sisters in attendance:
“I’m afraid if he wins, the blacks will take over. He’s not a Christian! This is a Christian nation! What is our country gonna end up like?”
“When you got a Negra running for president, you need a first stringer. He’s definitely a second stringer.”
“He seems like a sheep – or a wolf in sheep’s clothing to be honest with you. And I believe Palin – she’s filled with the Holy Spirit, and I believe she’s gonna bring honesty and integrity to the White House.”
“He’s related to a known terrorist, for one.”
“He is friends with a terrorist of this country!”
“He must support terrorists! You know, uh, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. And that to me is Obama.”
“Just the whole, Muslim thing, and everything, and everybody’s still kinda – a lot of people have forgotten about 9/11, but… I dunno, it’s just kinda… a little unnerving.”
“Obama and his wife, I’m concerned that they could be anti-white. That he might hide that.”
“I don’t like the fact that he thinks us white people are trash… because we’re not!”
Fewer and fewer African-American or Blacks are seen at McCain or Palin gatherings. They are starting to feel extremly uncomfortable and are staying away to avoid hearing derogative and racial slurs that are usually shouted toward Obama from the crowd.
Including the robotcalls, the GOP campaign for the White House is increasingly resembling the dark, terrible and petrifying days of white mob gathering with the intention of lynching a black man before daylight.
Lynching in the United States of America was a deranged and psychopathic behavior in the 19th and 20th centuries of the humiliation and killing of blacks by white mobs acting outside the law. These murders, most of them unpunished, often took the form of torturing, hanging, and burning of blacks.
During the tragic incident of pre-lynching, the angry mob would at times approached a group of black men and one of the sadistic avengers would point his finger and say “that one,” pointing out the person to be victimized.
The phrase “that one” is also a long-standing military technique of dehumanizing a captured opponent during wartime.
Of the approximately 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, it is said that not one of them were ever referred to by names when they were pointed out for extermination. Usually, a ranking soldier of the Hitler’s army would come with his thugs and point out victims by saying “that one,” and “that one.”
By Sen. McCain referring to the Illinois Senator Obama as “that one,” was he trying to dehumanizing Barack or was it just the case of a lapsus linguae (slip of the tongue)? Actually, I wish I could have read McCain’s mind. One thing I know for sure is that when McCain was a prison of war, he was never referred to as John or McCain. Similarly, the prisoners at Bush’s Guatemala Bay are definitely not referred to by their names. The U.S. soldiers assigned at Guatemala Bay are just not interested in establishing that kind of relationship with their prisoners. They referred to the prisoners by their prison numbers, “you”, or “that one.”
The McCain campaign recently released a new campaign ad that refers to Obama as not presidential. The ad reads as follow:
"Who is Barack Obama?" the announcer asks in the ad, in what has become the recurring theme.
"The National Journal says he’s the Senate’s most liberal. How extreme. But when pressed, how does he defend himself?" the announcer continues.
The ad shows Obama saying, ‘They’re not telling the truth. I hate to say that people are lying, but here’s a situation where folks are lying.’
"Mr. Obama, we all know the truth," the announcer concludes. "Not presidential."
My question to McCain and his campaign staff is who is presidential? Would you consider all previous white presidential candidates as presidential? Is George W. Presidential? Is Sarah Palin anything near presidential material?
During the Mississippi debate, Sen. McCain refuses to give Barack Obama an eye contact. Lack of eye contact is a modified version of the dehumanization technique that the senator apparently experienced as a prisoner of war.
When McCain and his surrogates, including Sarah Palin, referred to Obama as a "terrorist" they are not just utilizing the technique of dehumanization they are also building an entire narrative based upon it. It is impossible in this culture not to be aware that the word "terrorist" is currently synonymous of someone un-American and deserving death or political assassination. McCain knows that, Palin knows that, and the McCain campaign strategists know that as well. Or is this the closest they can come to using the “N” word?
At a Palin rally in Florida, she was introduced by a gun-tooting Lee County Sheriff, Mike Scott, who said “On Nov. 4, let’s leave Barack Hussein Obama wondering what happened.” Sheriff Mike Scott flipped the switch and used Barack Obama’s middle name in order to incite the crowd. At that political or lynching gathering, the mentioned of Obama and Ayers provoked boos and one person was heard shouting "Kill him!"
What the McCain and Palin team are turning their base into is reminiscent of the lynching sins of their forefathers and Hitler’s barbaric killing of the Jews.
