Electoral maps and controversial signs

After a long hiatus from this particular news source, I checked out cnnpolitics.com and was delighted to learn that even they have the electoral map leaning to Obama (277 safe and leaning, meaning if he holds those and loses all the toss-up states he still wins. Knock on wood.) The New York Times, of course, shows the same results (they've generally been more generous in assigning leaning states). My curiosity peaked, I zipped over to FOX News. Their electoral map, at least as of Thursday night, is unavailable. Interesting.

Then, while over at FOX, I found the story about this sign:

Here's the story if you want to read it. The part I'm going to address here is that when people became offended by the comparison of Barack HUSSEIN Obama in a turban to John McCain in military garb, owner Robert Horr responded with the Clintonian high road, saying it shouldn't be offensive at all that someone is wearing a turban and why can't people just accept multiculturalism? It's a dumbass position to be taken by someone who obviously chose the image to be inflammatory and degrading - it's definitely the "terrorist vs. hero" psychology that he's going for here, so it sure shows a lot of nerve that he'd feign naivete.

Oh, one more thing: Horr declined to say who he's voting for. Are you kidding me?

Stuff like this is become more and more common as the election draws closer. That guy at the Palin rally with the little "Hussein" Monkey... people hanging ghosts from limbs and labeling them Obama... that Food Stamp with Obama's picture on it with the fried chicken and watermelon. It's disgusting. I can't believe people are acting like this in 2008.
