Negative Republican Tactics Are Not Surprising

John McCain and his bitch attack dog want to talk about a man who made bombs when Obama was eight years old.

On Saturday, one of McCain's top advisers, Greg Strimple explained the move this way:
We are looking for a very aggressive last 30 days, We are looking forward to turning a page on this financial crisis and getting back to discussing Mr. Obama's aggressively liberal record and how he will be too risky for Americans.
That is why the sleazy old warmonger wants Willie Horton
Bill Ayers
on
T.V. for the next month instead of the economy. And instead of Karthik Rajaram.

As everyone knows by now, Bill Ayers was a member of the Weathermen in the 1960's.

We are discovering Karthik Rajaram to have been a man of our 21st century:
LOS ANGELES (AFP) — An unemployed California man shot and killed his wife, three children and mother-in-law before taking his own life over his family's financial difficulties, police said Monday.
Los Angeles Police Department deputy chief Michael Moore says the gunman Karthik Rajaram, 45, shot his wife, 39, her mother, 70, and three sons aged 19, 12 and seven at their home in an up-market suburb of Los Angeles.

Rajaram was a business school graduate who had held jobs with accountancy firm Price Waterhouse and Sony Pictures before becoming unemployed. 19-year-old son Krishna Rajaram was a Fulbright Scholar and honor student at UCLA. Three letters apparently left by Rajaram attested to the family's closeness as well as financial difficulties.

LAPD Dep. Chief Moore said of the letters,
This was something that was not a spur-of-the-moment type of event ..... We believe this individual had become despondent recently over his financial dealings and the financial situation of his household, and this murder-suicide event is a direct result of that ..... His narrative is one of talking about this tragedy befalling him and his contemplation of an available exit or solution ..... One is taking his own life and the other is taking the lives of his family and himself ..... He talked himself into the second strategy, believing that was in effect the honorable thing to do ..... this is a perfect American family behind me that has absolutely been destroyed, apparently because of a man who just got stuck in a rabbit hole, if you will, of absolute despair, somehow working his way into believing this to be an acceptable exit.
If Americans elect a president who believes our greatest danger is the 21st Century's version of Willie Horton instead of economic implosion, then we are all entering a rabbit hole without an exit. Karthik Rajaram and his family are victims of the Busheney-McCain unregulated war economy. They will not be its last casualties. We are not stupid. It's the economy. Once again.

  1. Today's NYT has a great editorial that speaks to these shameful tactics. I posted it in it's entirety over at my place.
