On the one hand, there's no point in talking about national politics in a city that will vote overwhelmingly for Obama. On the other hand, three weeks before the elections, when the battle between the two nominees is slowly turning into a battle between moderates against the worst elements of radicalism in the country, the eyes of America turned to a Baltimore Sun
op-ed piece by Frank Schaeffer.
Now with more than a thousand comments, this article and the reaction to the article sum up the fear many feel. This is not just about the hatred for the man Barack Obama. This is about the danger to our society. This is about McCain's inability to put his country first.
Today McCain told reporters he will
whip Obama's "you know what" in the third debate. Good luck to us all.

I know a lot of people in Virginia and I tell them that it doesn't matter who I vote for, but they better make a good decision.
And it hasn't improved. After the debate, and McCain's assertion that ACORN is "now on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy", there have been death threats to ACORN personnel and break-ins at ACORN offices. One threat traced to a man apparently right here in Baltimore.
Eventually you must take responsibility for your words, as well as your actions.
Yellojkt, I know people in North Virginia vote for Obama, and the people in the South--I don't know, they might as well have two heads. They scare me. But if Virginia votes for Obama I'll even go there and stimulate their economy.
Ridger, I think at some point there might be a backlash. There have been bipartisan complaints about their robo-calls, and that Michele Bachmann interview on Hardball scares a lot of people. Maybe they've gone too far this time.
