Lieberman: Tell McCain to Stop Inciting Hate

Target: Senator Joe Lieberman
Sponsored by: Care2

"Kill him!" shouted one angry supporter at a Palin rally.

"Terrorist!" shouted another at a McCain rally.

These comments were responses to Senator McCain and Governor Palin's attacks on Senator Obama.

Senator McCain's response? Silence all week – and then, unbelievably, defending the supporters who shouted hate speech at the rallies.

As a leader in this country and close friend of John McCain, Joe Lieberman needs to step in and condemn these tactics. He must tell McCain to condemn violent mob-speak, not condone it!

Lieberman is well aware of the consequences of mob violence and hatred in the past. Mob violence led to Kristallnacht; almost a hundred Jews murdered, tens of thousands deported, and hundreds of synagogues burned. And mob violence led to lynchings in the Jim Crow South.

When this election is over, we need a country that can stand together. Ask Senator Lieberman to condemn McCain's hate speech and persuade McCain to put an end to it.

Joe Lieberman, as a leader in the Senate and a close friend of John McCain, you need to step in now. You must tell John McCain, to put America First and stop inciting hate speech. Character attacks in the course of an election are common, but stirring up frenzied hate speech that targets Barack Obama brings politics in this country to an abysmal low.

"Kill Him!" shouted one angry supporter at a Palin rally.
"Terrorist!" shouted another at a McCain gathering.

McCain's response? Silence. And then he defended those who shouted the hate speech at his rallies.

As a leader in our Senate and of the GOP, McCain must put America First -- that means pausing, even for a moment, to condemn violent mob-speak. Yet, his response has been shocking. Sarah Palin's response has been even worse -- encouraging the hate speech at rallies.

You, Joe Lieberman, of all people are well aware of the consequences of mob violence and hatred in the past. Mob violence led to Kristallnacht; almost a hundred Jews murdered, tens of thousands deported, and hundreds of synagogues burned. And mob violence led to lynchings in the Jim Crow South.

When this election is over, we need a country that can stand together. We have come so far tearing down the walls of racism and hatred, please stand up for our country and persuade McCain to take a nobler path.

Is encouraging your supporters to call for the DEATH of the opposing candidate now ok in American politics? Why is all this hate necessary? How can McCain defend calls for lynchings at his rallies? Surely you don't agree with him...

Senator McCain, you were the target of these right wing fanatics in 2000. You, of all people, cannot condone these actions and outcries. You must find your backbone again (I know you have one because of your past experiences and what you stood for prior to 2000.) You must act to rid the Republican party of these types of people. You were my choice in 2000 before Bush defeated you --- partly due to these very same attacks. Do not continue to let us down. David Porter
