Farrakhan goes on to say, the country still remains &#8220;divided and polarized&#8221; because most of McCain&#8217;s support came from &#8220;older Americans [most of whom] reside below the Mason-Dixon line where racial attitudes and [...]]]></description>

The Democratic presidential nominee&#8217;s campaign machine is already pointing the finger at the GOP claiming this is nothing more than final-hour mud-slinging.

		<description><![CDATA[Lewis Diuguid, a columnist writing for the Kansas City Star editorial page, accuses Senator John McCain of invoking the term &#8217;socialist&#8217;, an age-old racist moniker for &#8216;black&#8217;, to describe his opponent, Barack Obama.  Duiguid points to several historical examples to support his claim:
