At British center left blog Harry’s Place, David T comments about Robert Stacy “interracial couples are repulsive” McCain, and compares this sorry situation to the increasing craziness of the British left: Out of Power, Going Bonkers.

A week or so after Obama’s victory, I spoke to a colleague of mine in the United States. He was pleased with the result, but apprehensive.

“You have no idea of the tidal wave of insanity and hatred that is going to be unleashed, now. It will take a few months to get going, but it is coming”.

I was sceptical. Obama seemed to have the support of many moderate conservatives, and the goodwill of most people I knew of all political stripes. Of course, I was wrong.

The plight of Charles Johnson of the centre-right Little Green Footballs is a case in point. He is presently being attacked by a white supremacist blogger called Robert Stacey McCain, who in turn is being linked to approvingly and hosted by what I might once have thought of as the ‘mainstream US Right’. Well, if that’s the mainstream, the Right is lost.

Well said.
