There may be people trying to make you afraid of Obama's Muslim name and black skin, but -- as nearly as I can tell -- it isn't the McCain campaign or the Republican party. They are trying to make people understand that what Obama is saying doesn't have a lot of congruence with his substantially more liberal voting record and history which I do believe is fair game.
When WGN Radio's Milt Rosenberg had people on the air who were critical of Obama, Obama's campaign organization twice sent out e-mails to supporters to have the station call-bombed to try to shut down the discussion. And the talking points they were armed with had very little to do with Obama and a lot to do with trying to kill the messenger -- in the normal metaphorical way, not involving actual bullets.
That, too, is the cold, hard truth. If you can't rebut them, shout them down.
