GOP Southerners Fear Obama Wave
Because only 27% of the country are actually registered Republicans.

You are stereotyping.
Where I live in NYC, the police routinely shoot unarmed black men on the street and go away unpunished.
Saying racism is someone else's problem does nothing.

The people of West Virginia are not backward- they lack information because they do not have access to cable and the internet nothing more- part of it is economic and part of it is geographical.
Getting both cable television and the internet to rural areas is a big issue.
Many people in West Virginia have only seen Barack Obama on network television- they haven't even heard one complete speech and only a few debates were even on network TV.
I see it this way- the people of West Virginia have an excuse why they voted Clinton- the people where I live- New York City- do not and yet they did and they are both over-educated and wealthy. What's their excuse?
We don't need to buy into Clinton's classism and racism.

On an Obama/Clinton Ticket: A Response to Andrew Sullivan
Obama and his supporters (of which I am one), may not have a choice in the matter anymore than Ronald Reagan did when George Bush was hoisted on him by the Republicans in the name of party unity.
But again Obama should take his cue from Reagan who loathed Bush and froze him out of the game.
We are used to the crucial role Cheney has played in W's presidency but that is highly unusual.
There is no reason why Hillary can't be relegated to say the Dan Quayle level- mostly a ceremonial figurehead and a tie-breaker in the Senate who we see once a year on the State of the Union. posted 05/06/2008 at 18:25:11

James Frey And Nan Talese: Oprah Duped Us!
If Americans actually read anything other than blogs, they would know that the vast majority of memoirs are self-aggrandizing, egocentric and not to be trusted.
Some of them are notorious- people claim to be friends with people they barely know or never met, they claim to be straight when they aren't, they claim to have been invited to the Tate house the night of the Manson massacre but something told them not to, it goes on and on.
You want the ultimate dubious memoir? Check out "I Was a White Slave in Harlem" by Margo Howard-Howard.
An autobiography is supposedly factual, a memoir is a memory- distorted and never intended to be taken as absolute fact.
We've all been through this argument.
I know this reality of the written word leaves angry Americans feeling deceived and ripped off but they are morons to think that way.

The Clinton campaign in an effort to prove they are "tougher than the men" keep making homophobic and emasculating slurs- this is only the latest.

Time and time again they have claimed that Obama is a wimp- too nice to take on the real men in the Republican party.
We even got to see the grotesque site of Clinton herself trying to prove that she was a "real man" complete with guns and boilermakers while Obama was an "elitist"- you know someone who reads books- likes art- wimp- pansy- gay.
And it's oh so typical for straight people to think nothing of this kind of homophobic behavior. posted 04/29/2008 at 16:05:42

Clinton Backer "Organized" Wright's Press Club Event
Because Hillary's "feminist" supporters tend to be something called "equality feminists". These are 1960's and early 1970's white mainstream feminists whose biggest issues in life are equal rights to men and abortion rights.
Most feminists under the age of 65 understand that feminism is part of larger global issues.
It is impossible for the narcissistic "identity feminist" to question or challenge Hillary in anyway- except....
If we could get her to denounce a woman's right to choose...
How DOES she feel about partial birth abortion? posted 04/29/2008 at 22:04:33

Pentagon Suspends Military Media Analysts Program
Who's going to lead the investigation?
Certainly not the courts.
I really think the answer is a boycott of corporate media at least as much as is humanly possible- it's what many of us are doing already- we are getting our news online anyway. posted 04/28/2008 at 17:21:49

You seem to see Rev. Wright everywhere- even in stories about the New York Times dropping the ball in their investigation of Pentagon propaganda.
I'm starting to think some of you people might actually have a crush on Rev. Wright!
You can't stop talking about him! posted 04/28/2008 at 17:18:07

Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Media Blitz Forces Barack Obama to Face the Angry Black Man Test -- Again
I grew up in the UCC although not the one Rev. Wright preached in and our minister was much more how shall I say- sedate- but I've been incensed by the media's treatment of this mainstream faith of my childhood.
I also understand where much of Rev. Wright's anger (or maybe passion is the better word) comes from.
I've also seen several of Wright's sermons in their entirity and know that his remarks were taken out of context.
But after seeing him today- and I thought he was delightful- I am in total agreement with Barack Obama.
Wright is an inspiring man and you love him like you do a crazy uncle. He is utterly charming, funny, quick witted and honest as he sees it.
But I also think it's very clear that Obama (who's political ideals were formed years before he even met Wright) and he have very different ideas on politics and where this country is going.
Obama is cool and collected and Wright is free-wheeling showman.
I don't think there is any evidence that Wright informed Obama's political ideas at all.
In the meantime it's only fair that Wright have his fifteen minutes on his terms- after that? Give him a talk show and the rest of us can move on. posted 04/28/2008 at 17:37:48

Clinton's Battering of Obama Is Brutal, Bloody -- But Fair
Of course Clinton has the "right" to run- she has the "right" to stay in as long as she can even after the race is over. She even has the "right" to lie and run nasty campaign ads.
That doesn't make any of it RIGHT.
And it doesn't make any of it a good thing for the Democratic party.
And please stop acting like the Pennsylvania primary was in anyway significant or truth telling- it all went down as predicted weeks before- it was not a surprise at all- except that Clinton lost ten points of her lead. She was always popular there and always will be- the hyper significance of PA is a distortion and people who keep pointing to it either haven't been paying attention or are Clinton shills.
Stop the distortions. posted 04/28/2008 at 11:11:46

Barack Obama On Fox News Sunday: Watch Video
Sorry don't agree at ALL.
Obama espouses solid Democratic economic values- the kind that saved this country during the Great Depression.
Every time we do it the conservative way we end up in the collective toilet.
Governemnt exists for a reason. The commons exist for a reason. Taxes and tarrifs on trade exist for a reason.
Stop looking at everything from a capitalist/socialist perspective- it is fanatical.
The rest of the world thinks we are fools economically and the truth is in our dollar. posted 04/28/2008 at 00:03:37

Who would have thought Fox would deliver one of the most professional and fair interviews with Obama we've seen in some time!
It was certainly better than that horrible ABC debate!
I don't think a lot of the people posting here actually watched it- Obama came off very well and the questions while conservative, were for the most part not over the top at all.
In fact I think Obama should appear on Fox more often and I say that as a leftist. By not doing so, he allows THEM to define him.
His appearance did a whole lot to diffuse conservative paranoia about him.
I'd steer clear of O'Reilly though. posted 04/27/2008 at 23:48:23

Hillary Strangelove: Boston Globe Editorial
I think Hillary is a right-wing hawk. This has nothing to do with her being a woman but her apologists will tell you "when you are a woman running for president you have to be as tough as the guys".
We just heard Phil Donahue says something to that effect on Bill Maher Friday.
This frightens me just as much as Clinton herself- a segment of the self-loathing liberals willing to rationalize her genocidal tendencies in the name of girl power.
The sad reality that the Steinem circle hasn't found out yet is that women aren't morally superior to men. Women leaders have made just as many errors as men have- look at Thatcher alone!
The reason why women leaders are like male leaders is something that should be apparent to this generation of older identity feminists but isn't- it's because women and men are equal. posted 04/27/2008 at 16:42:26

I'm really getting tired of the constant attempts to infantalize Obama by the white feminist establishment.
They are constantly trying to paint him as either an inexperienced and immature child or they are accusing him of being "uppity" and daring to be "elite". That's when they aren't condescendingly giving him his props for being a phenominal speaker- a gift they deem empty and meaningless- like a jazz musician who has rhythm but isn't ready for grown-up responsibilities.
You want "experience"? I'll give you experience. Obama just beat the Clinton machine- how's that for "experience"?
