Last Refuges

There was never any doubt the Republicans would play dirty when they needed to, but I'm sorry to say they have surpassed even their own depraved standards of conduct.

Glenn Greenwald lays it out pretty well here.

This is not about campaigns and this is not about politics as usual, this is racist hate-mongering of the worst type. And since McCain is out of time and short on cash, he can't play around with surrogates and mystery Swift Boat type ads: he has to come right out and say it himself. But as Joe Biden pointed out today, McCain is too much of a coward to say it to Obama's face.

Next up: slimy comments about drug use.

It's obvious to me why the Republicans are resorting to this: if a Democratic Administration decides to investigate what the Bush Regime has done to this country over the past eight years, people are going to go to jail. Nothing like hard time to bring out the worst in already bad people.

Time to get back to work beating these bastards in November.
