Bigot Watch

Robert Stacy McCain switches roles from Bull Connor wannabe to Joe McCarthy wannabe in his latest series of articles. McCain claims here that 16 Maine schoolteachers "taunted" and "harassed" the children of National Guard troops. But the National Guard won't give out the names of those allegedly involved in the claimed incidents and "journalist" McCain doesn't bother to investigate the accuracy of the claim. He'd rather just smear a group of people without proof.

It's just wrong for McCain to portray citizens of Maine as unpatriotic. After all, Maine gave us one of America's greatest war heroes, who was responsible for sending so many anti-American terrorists and traitors to their deaths.
