Execration for sale, and now McCain realizes the red meat Yukon Barbie's been chucking maybe, oh, I don't know, dangerous:
"What makes them different, and what has pumped up the Weimar-like rage at McCain-Palin rallies, is the violent escalation in rhetoric, especially (though not exclusively) by Palin. Obama 'launched his political career in the living room of a domestic terrorist'. He is 'palling around with terrorists' (note the plural noun). Obama is 'not a man who sees America the way you and I see America.' Wielding a wildly out-of-context Obama quote, Palin slurs him as an enemy of American troops."
Others have noted the viciousness of the hatred, and the GOP willingness to resort to most obvious forms of paranoia in an attempt salvage the disaster that is the McCain campaign, while the "Mav'rick", ever the Lear, only now begins to recognize the horror that is unfolding in his name, the sinking realization that not only has his ambition come to naught, but his legacy will be ignoble and dishonorable. His hell will be regret, and the knowledge that they way for him to win was to be the man who was so ruthlessly smeared by the very Atwater drones he now employs to smear him again.
Evidentally, it's not really working all that well.
