In recent days a fight has broken out between two of America’s biggest blowhards, Donald Trump and Arizona’s angry old man, John McCain — because this country is only big enough for one prima donna, dontcha know.
MCain complained to Ryan Lizza at the New Yorker that Donald Trump has “fired up the crazies” within the Republican Party. John McCain Has a Few Things to Say About Donald Trump. Apparently McCain was upset that “The Donald” is appealing to xenophobia and racism in the GOP crazy base.
Well it takes one to know one, Johnny boy.
This is the man who inflicted upon America the halfling governor of Alaska, the Quitta from Wasilla, Sarah Palin. And what was the role of Caribou Barbie during the 2008 campaign?
That’s right, to “fire up the crazies” in the GOP crazy base with her incoherent ramblings laced with dog whistle racism. This is where the “Tea Party” seeds were first sown. The Racism Comes Bubbling Up From McCain’s Dogwhistle Campaign:
The video from that Sarah Palin rally in Ohio last week probably said it all — that not only are racists herding in John McCain’s direction, but that previously obscured racism among mainstream conservatives is now bubbling up at an increasing rate.

I half-expected to hear the same thing from “Joe the Plumber” last week when it was pointed out to him that he would actually get a tax cut under Obama’s plan.
It’s clear that the campaign to defeat Barack Obama — which is what the McCain campaign has rapidly devolved into, ever since it became self-evident that McCain himself couldn’t give us a single good reason to vote for him, beyond his moose-in-the-headlights running mate — is in fact creating an environment in which these kinds of sentiments not only are encouraged, but are now considered normal.
Donald Trump is just an old male version of Sarah Palin with bad hair.
