This has been a campaign season filled with personal insults and slurs.

The McCain/Palin supporters, for instance, keep calling Barack Obama a Muslim and a terrorist, and they like to call his mother an atheist, and they want to kill him, apparently.

And this is all well and good, as politics in America is personal and vituperative, and that’s just the way people seem to like it.

But now someone has finally crossed the line.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Roy Brown this week accused Democrats of spreading a false rumor that he is a vegetarian in this meat-loving state.

Call someone an atheist, or a terrorist, but please, if there is any semblance of dignity to be had in this election, for the love of Ra please do not call someone a vegetarian. At long last, have you no sense of decency?
