Mr. Maggio's assessment of McCain's choice of Palin as his running mate is very narrow -- much like the Republican party's capacity for compassion. And his defense of Fox News, which doesn't merely favor Republicans, but gives weight to blatant lies to smear their opponents, is similarly short-sighted and foolish. However, there's no accounting for opinions, like taste; and he is entitled to his.

But the editor of Media Post should not have published Maggio's blatantly racist and inflammatory reference to the Democratic nominee for U.S. President as Barak "Who's Sane" Obama. Further, in the comments section, a supporter of your small-minded writer applauded his column as standing out from the "heil Obama" crowd. Such uncivilized remarks should also be disallowed and removed from your site immediately. Media Post should not be a voicebox for hateful and pathetic "writing," if you can call it that.
