I would hope that this campaign can rise above that. JSM and BHO seem to be heading in that direction, but both have supporters who are out of control, and seem to enjoy mud slinging. Mr. Chambliss was scoring cheap political points against a disabled veteran. This is wrong. As I said in the commentary, I find JSM's record as a POW to be admirable, and should not be attacked for political gain. I do, however, have an issue with someone who drops napalm on civilians. I do not find that to be honorable. I was listening to someone on the radio say that terrorists should be killed, not imprisoned. If North Vietnam had played by those rules, JSM would have died 41 years ago. I agree that two wrongs do not make a right. I would hope that this campaign can rise above that.

The two wrongs making a right line of thinking has helped create our toxic divide. Simple declarative sentence: It's wrong to attack a candidate's honorable military record. The guy was a POW, and people are trying to question his loyalty. That's really sick. Aravosis has got to be one the biggest slimeballs I've ever read. How does one let themselves sink to such a level? I was appalled by the commercial used against Cleland, just as I find questions against McCain's service disgusting. It's sad when people can't agree about basic decency.
