I call on the powers that be at dKos to remove the offensive ad hominem attack on John McCain. The Birth Certificate post does nothing to advance the cause of much needed change in this country.
It is a tasteless and agist attack on the man that does not further discussion of issues that matter in this election.
If age is indeed an issue, then it should be discussed in a more serious manner.
This post, along with the infamous "Teeth" post of the other day had better not be a trend in the Kossak nation. I am very disappointed to see the main column cheapened by these low-blow, puerile and abusive comments.
Please, everyone, rise above this. Does this help the Obama campaign? Does this help us to attract "Reagan Democrats" or even Republicans who might be inclined to test the waters of change?
UPDATE:
This has turned into quite the discussion and I find it encouraging. The main isse, in my opinion, isn't THAT he is of a certain age, but rather HOW his age is discussed. I recall how offensive the attacks on "The French Guy" John Kerry were 4 years ago, and how people on this site were outraged at the "orange skin" meme.
I'm just concerned that too much discourse will fall into the ridicule-this-geezer category.
