McCain defends Obama to booing supporters
Character attacks on Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama have become virulent enough that even his Republican opponent John McCain is suffering from them.
McCain faced a booing crowd Friday for rebuking a man who said he would be “scared… to bring a child up” if Obama was elected president,
“I have to tell you he is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States,” McCain said.
Rallies for the McCain/Palin campaign became increasingly inflammatory as audience members shout “terrorist,” “liar” when Obama is mentioned.

“We will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.”
-George W. Bush, September 20, 2001 address to the United States Congress.
I think that all political observers that accused Sarah Palin of not knowing about the Bush Doctrine need to reassess their beliefs. She may not have been able to communicate the principles intelligibly, but she has shown beyond a shadow of a doubt, that she has internalized an understanding of the tactics that the approach involves. The McCain/Palin ticket are simply applying the Bush Doctrine to its political opponent. The accusations that Palin and McCain are making by insinuation have very real consequences, and they need to be held accountable for them.
