Many on the right will point out examples of hateful behaviour on the left. This isn’t hard to do; there are a great many moronic, disgraceful people on the left who I happily (or unhappily, depending how you look at it) reject. What doesn’t receive so much attention is that the same sort of people exist on the right as well. That’s because being a moronic disgrace is a characteristic of people, not of the left or right.

One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, “Sit down, boy.”

McCain’s pretty good at contradicting himself, but now he’s reached new heights with the following:

We can go backwards with job-killing tax hikes, the same old broken partisanship, and out of control spending as Senator Obama would have us do or we can bring real reform to Washington.

Yes, he tells you that partisanship is bad while insulting his opponent in the same sentence. I suppose you could make the sentence shorter (can politicians do that?) but I’d say that’s pretty close to a perfect score.
