Open Letter to John McCain

Dear Senator,

As a United States citizen (10th generation) I am asking you to stop anyone in your campaign as well as yourself from calling (by outright statement or insinuation or by association) Senator Obama a terrorist. This can set a very ugly precedence when our elected officials are being called terrorists by other elected officials as well as their supporters. I would hope for greater decorum from elected officials and presidential candidates. I deem such behaviour to be nothing less than 21st century McCarthyism. I ask you to stand up to, and cease such blatant smears against Senator Obama.
