We keep saying this — and no one seems to listen — but over the course of this campaign, we’ve met about 50 people who worked on McGovern-72, and every one of them said to us, without quivocation, that the main reason McGovern lost to Nixon was McGOVERN’S SUPPORTERS. The way McGovern’s “youth army” behaved, and the terrible things they did in McGovern’s name, worked against their candidate and every day drove more people who would have never voted Republican over to Nixon.
We’ll try to spell this out even more clearly: when people see things like this anti-Palin Ebay stunt, it makes normal people wonder why they would support SoetorObama, if this is what his followers are up to. It makes people who might have pulled the lever for this man question the very act of putting someone like this into office, when these are the types of followers he attracts.
People do not want to be associated with this sort of filth – and the fact that SoetorObama’s campaign doesn’t clamp down hard and stop this sort of daily, vulgar, nastiness says A GREAT DEAL about the person Oprah calls “The One”.
Selling a 4-month old with Down Syndrome on Ebay?
This is a new low, even for the SoetorObama camp.
Can you imagine the outrage if his opponent’s supporters created an Ebay listing showing SoetorObama or his children up for sale? There would be spasms of Racist! Racist! Racist shouting over that, we’re sure.
But, a 4-month old with Down Syndrome is fair game.
Sick.
There’s a point of no return coming with all of this stuff — we’ve seen this before. We think it’s a week or two away, tops, when SoetorObama supporters will have crossed a line that Middle America cannot ignore…just the way the McGovern fans did back in 1972.
Today’s Ebay attack makes us believe that line is going to involve little Trig in some way. What’s going to happen is that these SoetorObama fools will go too far in making fun of Trig that it will send a tingle of true horror down the collective spine of a majority of Americans — a Kool-Aid nullifying chill that cuts right through all the media garbage and makes them all wonder how they could have ever supported a man who surrounds himself with such thugs.
And when that happens, there will be no coming back. McCain/Palin will be up 15-20 points in the polls, and this election will be, truly, over.
So, make fun of little Trig at great risk, Kool-Aid Gang. And don’t say we didn’t warn you.

It also appears Democratic Underground scrubbed the Ebay screenshot…it’s no longer visible at the link for that thread. Our screenshots above are the shot they had of the Ebay page.
