		<description>A retired terrorist, a racist pulpiteer and a convicted crook?  Flower petals fluttering down from gilded clouds.  No mud there.

Weaving whole cloth from shit?  Um, I think I&#039;m beginning to see a pattern here.</description>

		<description>heather: Democrats are racist, because they nominated a black man.

ic: Obama meant &quot;it&#039;s all about me&quot;, because he said the opposite.

Roger et al: because someone made a video spoof of Obama based Les Miserables, liberals will resort to violence if he loses.

I detect a certain pattern of thought here.  One might suspect there isn&#039;t enough real mud to fling at Obama if you have to make shit up from whole cloth.  I guess the Ayers/Wright/Rezko stuff isn&#039;t getting the traction you would like.</description>

		<description>You could see riots by blacks protesting that their candidate lost.  Blacks have done that before, though not for that particular reason.  A few white radicals might join them.  Together they&#039;ll prove their revolutionary and anti-racist bonafides by attacking Korean or Indian owned stores.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;“Obama. Or there’ll be blood.” That, mutatis mutandis, is approximately the message of Les Miz. It is the message, heard with increasing virulence, of the far-Left blogosphere.&lt;/i&gt;

A disconcerting thought, and one I have pondered off and on the past few weeks.  Always, though, I come to the same conclusion: today&#039;s firebreathing leftist revolutionaries are physical cowards, wedded to their own self indulgence.

What will they do if Obama loses?  Rampage through their urban strongholds?  Torch Restoration Hardware, Whole Foods, and Caribou Coffee?  They don&#039;t own guns, and even if they have copies of The Anarchist&#039;s Cookbook and The Poor Man&#039;s James Bond tucked away behind the Joseph Campbell and Sartre, they&#039;re afraid to use any of the recipes in them because, like, everybody knows, man, that those books were written by the CIA to sabotage revolutionaries.

Nope, there will be a crescendo of high chair banging and flinging their strained beets against the wall.  Plenty of solemn vows to move to Canada.  Threats to tie up the country through massive passive resistance.  A major boom in weed (look for the Urban Economic Stimulus to hit your local dealers) and Doritos.

Then they will return to waiting for the change that they&#039;ve been waiting for.  Punctuated, of course, by sporadic episodes of incoherent rage.</description>

		<description>mtraven: &quot;it&#039;s not about me&quot; is always about &quot;me&quot;. Similarly, it is not about money, is always about money. 

Dems are not racists: Clarence Thomas was not black, Sarah Palin was not a woman. Dems are racists and sexists. They stereotype how a black person or a woman is to behave. If they don&#039;t behave, they will be destroyed. If the slaves didn&#039;t behave, they would be whipped. Obama appeals to them because he is &quot;clean&quot;, i.e. light skinned, an almost white.</description>

		<description>You can tell it&#039;s not a spoof because the campaign workers are Beautiful People and therefore intended as proxies for Obama&#039;s radiance and hipness. If it were a spoof, the campaign workers would be as fat and ugly as Democrat campaign workers in real life are.</description>

		<description>I wonder why Roger writes such obvious lies which can be checked simply by following his links?  For instance, his first sentence is a lie.  Barack Obama did &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; say that &quot;he is the one we&#039;ve been waiting for&quot;.  He said &quot;we are the ones we&#039;ve been waiting for&quot;, and also explicitly said that &quot;it&#039;s not about me&quot;.  In other words, Roger has completely distorted the import of Obama&#039;s statement, or in other words, Roger is a pathetic, whey-faced, sack of lies.  Nothing he says should be taken seriously.</description>

		<description>(I&#039;ve posted this comment at Rosenbaum&#039;s place too:)

the tragedy of Obama (win or lose in November) is that the Democratic Party is - to its core - racist. Obama has all the attributes of the ideal Black Guy: Harvard educated, cool manners, great oratory.. and he is good looking in a Caucasion manner (as a friend noted, his ancestry is EAST African). And he was played the Democratic Racist game really well, working his way up and through the Chicago political machine, never making any waves that are more than skin deep. He has never questioned the verities of Leftist assumptions, and I think has found them irrelevant anyway, to his real passion: Making It to the Top.

The Democrats have seen him as nothing more than a vehicle to prove to themselves that -by jove! - they are not racists, like those republicans!

Have you never heard something so cynical and heartless and RACIST as Biden’s remark that Obama ‘cleans up’ well??? Obama has lived with this hypocrisy every day since he moved to Chicago.
