An Open Letter to John McCainSenator John McCain: If your campaign does not stop equating Sen. Barack Obama with terrorism, questioning his patriotism and portraying Mr. Obama as "not one of us," I accuse you of deliberately feeding the most unhinged elements of our society the red meat of hate, and therefore of potentially instigating violence ( Read more... )

BAWWWWWWWWWW but he told them to calm down! And was booed for it! So, of course he can't be held responsible anymore if something happens, right? Right? Ass covering completed, right?

Aww, he'd gain all my respect back if he "took one for the team" that way.

I'm sorry, the blood is on the McCain campaigns hands at this point. All this after the fact shit means nothing to me.

word origin of "maverick": iatrogenicmyth October 11 2008, 01:33:22 UTC

It was all the fault, or the bright idea, of Samuel Augustus Maverick, who lived from 1803 to 1870. Descended from an old and notable New England family, he sought his fortune in Texas and there inadvertently made a name for himself. He took up cattle ranching, which was quite a different proposition from raising livestock back East. In Texas cattle grazed on the open range, without fences to keep one herd separate from another, and thus there was much opportunity for theft and disputes over ownership. To identify their cattle, ranchers branded them, rounding up the calves each year for this purpose ( ... )
