Today is just a cute comic I thought was a pretty appropriate look at “scare tactics” by Josh Nickerson. Sarah Palin has, this week and last, been making unrealistic attacks about Obama at almost all her rallies, from saying he pals around with terrorists, to questioning his intention with America. No wonder the people have become frightened to death of Obama, resulting in the creepy almost cult-like shouts of “Terrorist!” and “Kill him!” when his name is mentioned at a Palin/McCain rally. Palin’s scare tactics seemed to have worked, with dire consequences to the people and to Obama himself (The Secret Service steps in to investigate Obama death threats, Source: AP). Just how far will these scare tactics go? And, gods-forbid, should Sarah Palin become President, how will she use scare tactics on you?

On the plus side, at least McCain has tried to quell the angry beast that has sprung from these scare tactics… Perhaps he realizes that they’ve gone too far. He’s trying to defeat his opponent in a polite way, but with his mobs I don’t know if it will work.
