These should be required viewing for every American. These videos should be broadcast by every major network news program during their highest rated shows.
The videos prove exactly what we've known all along, and why the race is as close as it is. They prove that Black folks as a monolith have some basis of justification for the resentment and distrust of the White majority. They prove how easy it is to kindle up the absolute worst in people with bold lies and distortions of the truth. But ultimately, these videos prove just how far the nation hasn't come in the 7 years since 9/11, let alone the last 44 years since Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act.
Why do I think this is a Black/White issue? Listen to the code words spoken by the interviewees. The scariest part is most of these people look like my neighbors, past co-workers, people I'd run into on any ordinary day - not just some obscure, backwoods townsfolk from rural America.
Unless McCain himself takes the reigns on this to stop the anti-American slander/propaganda, and genuinely castigates this wide fringe of his supporters, they will interpret his silence as his condonation. This insanity won't end safely. If it's allowed to continue much longer, some idiot is going to try to make a name for himself under the guise of patriotism.
Please share these videos with everyone you know - so that we can snatch the covers off of this corrosive part of our society.
Peace.
