More of the same hate/fear campaigning. **(State of Virginia GOP chair Jeffery M. Frederick) climbed atop a folding chair to give 30 campaign volunteers who were about to go canvassing door to door their talking points — for instance, the connection between Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden: "Both have friends that bombed the Pentagon," he said. "That is scary."** No Jeffrey M. Frederick, you're the one who's scary!

"This is not just some obscure party official," McCain said in an interview aired by CNN. "And that's what's so totally unacceptable about it."" So, apparently Frederick's speech was okay, but Lewis' wasn't!
