The thing about these campaigns is they convince the people so much that they're bad for the country that people who don't bother to learn the actual plans irrationally, unwittingly spew the rhetoric. To me, it seems worse from the right talk show hosts because they blatantly lie, whereas the left pundits distort the truth, or spread it thin.
I agree there are some irrational ideas on both sides. But McCain's is just mean spirited, nasty, and racist garbage. Ok, saying McCain doesn't know how to use youtube isn't nice - you are basically calling him a senile old coot. But it's not even close to the turbin/radical islamic etc..
The fringe Obama supporters are whacky, the fringe McCain supporters just nasty.

The second half of that video, for the most part, talks about legit concerns on both sides though. Not the silly rhetoric.

I'm not saying that those would start then. How could they? I'm just saying that the discussion as it's going now might as well cease. After that, the only thing I expect to say is I told you so. Not from day one, just when appropriate.
