Clarence Page On McCain And Palin

From Page's October 12, 2008 column in the Chicago Tribune: "But these days McCain's political attacks have grown sharper and angrier. He unleashed his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, like an attack puppy against Obama. Together they have pushed their conservative audiences further right and, in some cases, over the edge." When some fool (my characterization) yelled "Kill him!" at a Florida rally "Palin smiled her way past the 'Kill him!' shout. Maybe she didn't hear it. At the same rally, a racial epithet was shouted at a black sound technician with a TV news crew."
