It all makes perfect sense. The economy is collapsing and the American people are angry and frustrated. So rather than have them condemn the system that is ultimately responsible the power structure has created the lion’s den where Democrat and Republican rip each others throat out and move toward civil war. That should keep the people busy while the corporate elite steal the nation blind.
Sarah Palin’s job in all of this is to throw the red meat into the crowd. And she is good at it and seems to have no conscience about doing so. She feels the power and loves it. The boys in charge have chosen well.
According to the Washington Post report from a McCain-Palin rally in Wisconsin, “There were shouts of ‘Nobama’ and ‘Socialist’ at the mention of the Democratic presidential nominee. There were boos, middle fingers turned up and thumbs turned down as a media caravan moved through the crowd Thursday for a midday town hall gathering featuring John McCain and Sarah Palin.”
Obama, a socialist? Not even close.
At one recent rally someone yelled “kill him” as Palin was pumping up the crowd. At a McCain event a supporter of his yelled “terrorist” when the Republican candidate asked “Who is Barack Obama?”
McCain voted for the bailout and is now using the issue to drive a wedge between the people. Instead of acknowledging both corporate parties complicity with Wall Street, the McCain-Palin team are playing innocent victim.
