McCain and his supporters have begun smearing Obama with a barrage of inflammatory robocalls and as despicable as McCain's tactics have become, there's something we can do about it.

The Sen. McCain I saw eight years ago would have never allowed any of this. My friend, listen to your vicious robocalls that have been filling our homes and terrifying our children. Watch your negative and deceitful advertising. Read your hateful flyers.

In a deep sense, this election really is about turning the page on the thinking that would divide us by whether we have regrets about Vietnam. Or Iraq. Or war period.

Increasingly desperate, John McCain and the GOP are throwing the kitchen sink at Barack Obama. No wonder they called Joe the Plumber. So this week brought racist mailers, a tidal wave of robocalls, more Bill Ayers, Sarah Palin's love of the "pro-American areas of this great nation," and McCain's outlandish claim that ACORN is "destroying the fabric of democracy." Not unwarranted wiretapping, waterboarding, extraordinary rendition, or the denial of habeas corpus. ACORN. Bringing this toxic collection together in one despicable no-goodie bag was Rush Limbaugh, who charged that Obama -- aided and abetted by Ayers and ACORN -- is "smack dab in the middle" of a 30-year plot to teach black children to "hate, hate, hate" America. It's going to take more than a plumber to pull McCain's -- and his party's -- reputation out of the sewer.

The answer, written in the body of the email, is not for the RNC to end its unwelcome, unpopular and ugly automatic dialers and digital recordings. Rather, it is a clumsy blackmail of the people on the receiving end.
