As you sow...

This is exactly what happens when you sow the seeds of hatred and distrust for personal gain. People are generally pretty stupid. Many are ignorant and directionless. They are easily led. Add to this a sense of helplessness and frustration, and you have your average republican voter in 2008. Now, if you play to the worst in these people, if you play to their innermost fears, this is exactly what you get. An ugly mixture of racism, xenophobia, and of course, homophobia. So of course Obama is the butt-fucking arab terrorist who has been sent by the devil to destroy America. McCain and his cronies had a deliberate strategy in mind when they started asking pointed questions like "Who is Obama, really?", and attempted to tie him with Ayers (hint, hint: terrorist) and Rezko (hint, hint: crook) and Wright (hint, hint: radical white hater) repeatedly. And people, like sheep, responded.

I'm sure you're happy now, asshole. Good luck trying to bottle these negative emotions back up.
