We cats hate to say this, but we think the Republican nominees have done way more than jump the shark.
They need to make a major apology to Barack and Michelle Obama — and to the American people.
Sarah Palin's rallies have gotten totally out of hand. While she repeats her ridiculous charges about Senator Obama and William Ayers, she's inspiring frenzy among her crowds. Major media outlets have reported that attendees at her campaign events have shouted "Treason!", "Terrorist!" and — most disturbingly — "Kill him!"
This is the stuff of Nazi and KKK rallies. It has no place in American politics. And the person who needs to immediately be asked to repudiate this behavior is the man at the top of Governor Palin's ticket, Senator John McCain.
But we're not holding our breath. After all, not one questioner at last night's "town hall" debate brought it up.
We are reminded of the words of Joseph Welch. Special Counsel to the Army, to Senator Joseph McCarthy, on February 9, 1950:
"Have you no sense of decency, sir?"
Where John McCain is concerned, clearly the answer is: No.
