I just deleted this comment from my post on the National Enquirer smearing Barack Obama:

B HUSSEIN Obama IS a muslime, always was, always will be. He has sold out the USA for $200 MILLION from muslimes for his campaign. He will turn over the country to them if he wins. America will cease to exist once he and his muslime thugs are done with us. Only a stupid moron would vote for this POS!!

Sadly, we’re only going to see more of this in the coming months — Floyd Brown is already suggesting Barack Obama and his supporters are un-American in fundraising emails to the Newsmax list:

Make no mistake, there are people in the United States who despise America… hate America… and hate our way of life. Barack Hussein Obama is THEIR CANDIDATE and they will do everything in their power to make sure that patriotic Americans do not understand exactly how dangerous Barack Hussein Obama really is. They’ll hide his record and his past and they’ll tar-and-feather his opposition.

Update 4/27 1:48 PM: While the closest parallel to John McCain as a presidential candidate may be George H.W. Bush, the closest parallel to his current campaign rhetoric may actually be Floyd Brown (via TPM Election Central):

“All I can tell you Jennifer [Rubin] is that I think it’s very clear who Hamas wants to be the next president of the United States,” McCain said. “So apparently has Danny Ortega and several others. I think that people should understand that I will be Hamas’s worst nightmare … If Senator Obama is favored by Hamas I think people can make judgments accordingly.”

For those who don’t know, Brown is the loathsome individual who created the infamous “Willie Horton” ad of 1988. Is that the kind of company McCain wants to be keeping?
