From a GOP mailer being sent out in Virginia:
The mailer includes images of Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong Il, the usual bad guys. It's unclear whether the image above is supposed to be of Obama, but I wouldn't be surprised given the Virginia McCain campaign's tendency towards race-baiting hyperbole. If it isn't Obama, then the takeaway is even worse: Anonymous people with brown skin and dark eyes are scary. Greg Sargent interviewed Virginia GOP spokesman Gerry Scimeca, who said this:
"It's about the fact that the world is evil," he said, referring to the multiple bad actors that populate the planet. "Choosing a president is about standing up to them."
How are you going to stand up to them if you pick a president who looks like them? Huh America? Tell me that.
