watching MSNBC...apparently John Lewis made a statement condemning the McCain rallies for their hatemongering and drew a comparison with George Wallace's campaign. McCain called for Obama to repudiate Lewis's remarks.

Reply from Obama spokesman Bill Burton (from 538):

Senator Obama does not believe that John McCain or his policy criticism is in any way comparable to George Wallace or his segregationist policies.

But John Lewis was right to condemn some of the hateful rhetoric that John McCain himself personally rebuked just last night, as well as the baseless and profoundly irresponsible charges from his own running mate that the Democratic nominee for President of the United States ‘pals around with terrorists.’
As Barack Obama has said himself, the last thing we need from either party is the kind of angry, divisive rhetoric that tears us apart at a time of crisis when we desperately need to come together. That is the kind of campaign Senator Obama will continue to run in the weeks ahead.

And the cranks come out...:

Suspicious letters delivered to a theater in Palm Desert and to the Los Angeles Times on Friday appeared to contain no hazardous materials, FBI officials confirmed.

...

The envelope was addressed to two Times reporters and bore no return address, said Times Senior Security Manager Larry Belkin. "Save the Babies" was handwritten on the envelope's face, and "Kill All Obama Supporters" was written on the back, Belkin said. Inside was a one-page letter and a light brown granular substance.

FBI officials said the letter was very similar to one delivered on Thursday to an Obama campaign office in Palms, Belkin said.

Sums up the campaign for me. He has outworked everyone.

Gosh, those last few pictures are all terrific.

The other ones, which I take it are taken from reactionary websites (?), are horrific and horrible.

I do admire Barack Obama.

I don't think that I think US right-wingers (whom I personally hate and fear) are the same thing as 'conservatives'. A lot of their beliefs are not very conservative. I can understand the appeal and some of the logic of being 'conservative' about something - that's not the same as spilling the poison that these people do. The main thing that I fear about right-wingers is not at all how conservative they are, but how radical they are.

Maybe I am stating the obvious (this is a familiar political theme that goes back at least to Thatcher) or maybe this is just a simple difference between big and small c conservatism, or whatever.

Can you point to a political party labelled conservative which is fundamentally different in tenet, ideology or gut instinct from 'US right-wingers' ? I'm having a hard time working out who these lovely fluffy conservatives are. Unless you're confusing 'conservative' with 'moderate', or 'centrist'?

Uh?

I believe most European "conservative" parties are very "different in tenet, ideology or gut instinct from 'US right-wingers'". About in the same place as US Democrats I guess, so probably you'd call them "centrist" or even "leftist"...?

err, parents'

Bookmarks, yeah, except when you want to find something from a few weeks ago. Which is kinda lame, but comes up more often than you'd think!

wtf why is dominos.com asking me if I'm a Democrat or a Republican? Will the wrong answer get me a spunk pizza?

Why are you ordering Dominos?

It is my God-given right as an American to be fucking lazy and order a sub-par pizza from a place I know takes cards.

Fair enough.

I worked there for five years and can't even smell Dominos anymore without turning my stomach.
