One of the biggest fear tactics is now taking place. The Clarion Fund, a non-profit organization which supports John McCain has sent out 28 million DVD’s in the swing states. These DVD’s are an anti-Islam documentary and were added as supplements to Sunday editions. “The DVD is a 60-minute expose of militant Islam called “Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West” and is ideologically slanted toward painting Muslims as evil and bent on the destruction of the United States”. Many mainstream religious groups have labeled this DVD highly divisive. Of course the premise is that John McCain, with his military background, would be a better Commander-in-Chief should a new confrontation take place. Not true! I give McCain due credit for being a war hero but he spent five years of that war in a prison camp.
With Palin deriding Obama for believing in open dialogue with possible enemies, it’s frightening to think how she would react if, by any chance, she was thrust into being president and a military situation arose. Is this another republican tactic to play distraction games during the campaigns and elections? I think that it is a typical GOP tactic of fearmongering. I for one would prefer Obama over McCain should a security crisis happen just before the election. With Powell in his corner, Obama would have far more stable support than a hot head like McCain. I do not think that Obama would be soft on defense should the occasion arise. For the Clarion Fund, the truth may be irrelevant. Getting the candidate of their choice elected is all that matters.
