The Baltimore Sun published an editorial criticizing McCain and Palin for encouraging hatred of Barack Obama in their rallies. (see below) Then the New York Times accused McCain and Palin of "Race-Baiting and Xenophobia." McCain must have read them because now he is trying to get his supporters to act in a more civil manner according to the following Sun article:
Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain (R) takes a question from a supporter (L), who called US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama an Arab, during a town hall meeting in Lakeville, Minnesota, October 10. McCain urged his supporters to stop hurling abuse against Barack Obama at his rallies, saying he admired and respected his Democratic rival. The stream of vicious attacks against Obama, who has left McCain trailing in the polls ahead of the November 4 vote, was ramped up at the weekend by Palin who accused the Chicago senator of "palling around with terrorists."
