In 2004, most of us woke up to disappointment.

Another four years of Bush.

A 30 seat Republican edge in the House of Representatives.

A 10 seat Republican edge in the Senate.

What a difference four years makes.

Every once in a while, I hop over to FreeRepublic just to see what the far right is talking about. If you've been following it regularly, you know that it's slowly devolving into a hangout of racists and other nutcases.

If you don't believe racism is still a major part of the conversation in this country - and that this racism is a direct problem for Barack Obama, you only need to look at this one thread.

I usually try to keep some tabs on what sort of propaganda the right wing talk radio shows are spouting, and I can certainly say that for the last several months, Sean Hannity (and many others) has spent hours on a daily basis directly attacking Obama for his association with William Ayers.

There's something under that attack that's always deeply bothered me, but I've never been able to figure out what it was.

Sarah Palin's recent comments about "Obama hanging out with terrorists" made me think even more about it. Why was this bothering me so much?

This morning, I figured it out. And it paints a brutal picture of the Republican Party's moral and ethical standards.

Not too long ago, I had a very insightful interaction with an acquaintance, one that made me feel better than ever about Obama's chances. It also knocked away some of my concerns about the so-called Bradley effect.

Last night, Sarah Palin made a convert out of me.

I stumbled across something interesting today.

"I am pleased to see Senator Obama acknowledge the huge potential Alaska’s natural gas reserves represent in terms of clean energy and sound jobs," Governor Palin said. "The steps taken by the Alaska State Legislature this past week demonstrate that we are ready, willing and able to supply the energy our nation needs."

This appeared on Palin's official website at www.gov.state.ak.us.

The key word here is appeared. Sometime in the last seventy two hours, the article disappeared. I was only able to retrieve the quote above from the Google cache.

More below the fold.
