Pro-lifers blow up legal abortion clinics regularly, as we all know. And they murder people every year--unlike Ayers, who killed nobody. Pro-lifers are unquestionably terrorists and murderers. And they seem pretty damned unrepentant to me. As long as we’re talking about terrorists and blowing things up, let’s not forget America’s number one domestic terrorist group—the pro-lifers.

After 4 years of Bush/Cheney & Republicans, I wanted to <strong>WIN</strong>. Period! And I thought the smart move, the sure bet was Clinton. And even she had a mountain of obstacles in her way, being a woman, a Clinton and having a lot of irrational Clinton-hatred against her. Still, I felt that she could pull it off more easily. Why? Because I know that a certain segment of white America was never going to vote for B0 no matter what they said once they got into the voting booth. Look what happened most recently to Harold Ford in Tennessee. It's not far-fetched that this happens. It was after Bradley in CA that this was determined because the polls were so high in Bradley's favor, beyond the margin of error and he still lost. The pollsters scratched their heads and they ultimately determined that they had been lied to and that race was a factor. But 0bama was in the best position at one point to overcome that but he blew it. First, because he is biracial, I think a lot of people were going to give him the benefit of the doubt. But 0bama instead chose to lean on his AA heritage and ultimately has given white people reason to feel uneasy. One of the beautiful aspects of this year's Olympics was seeing the pride with which AA atheletes competed for love of their country. It wasn't always this way. But it's clear that many of them, especially the wealthy professional ones, now understand that they have achieved the <em>American Dream</em> and are openly grateful. Barack and Michelle have no basis for justifying their relationships with people like Wright/Trinity Church and Ayers. It's one thing for them to recognize that there is still a lot of work to be done among the generationally poor AAs and quite another for them to be commiserating and openly hostile as if they haven't achieved the <em>American Dream</em>. How can they validate this? What makes them think that "<em>I love America</em>" speeches are going to wipe away their actions over the last 20 years? Finally, this is what pisses me off with the DNC. They didn't vet him. And even after these troubling things came to the surface, they chose to act like a parent in denial of a spoiled rotten brat. They revealed in the process their contempt for the Clintons. And ultimately, that was more important than anything. And worse for me, Dean, Pelosi, Reid Brazile and 0bama have used the AA community as justification for their acts. They've exploited the desperation of a people who would love to feel pride at having an AA president. The final result is going to be abject bitterness, resentment, disillusionment and all-around bad feelings among everyone. They have soured me against the Democratic Party and politics in general and I've been a voter all my life. But they robbed me of one of my greatest hopes: to see an AA AND a Woman president in my lifetime. Now, after this debacle, I'll probably see neither one. Good job Democrats!
