Prometheus 6

Looking over my pittance of posts today, I suspect there's a couple of folks who were confused by my absolute approval of The Divisive Frauds in the Media by eriposte, when I follow up with questions about The Clintons like

if they are not bigots, why did they play on white folks' racial fears? Because that is the underlying meaning of "play the race card," no matter who plays it.

Here's the deal. Though I am not as unhappy with our slate of candidates as Republicans are, none of them are what I'm looking for. Edwards' statements come closest but he didn't vote then the way he's talking now...and even so he's not very far from Hillary and Obama's positions. I entered this campaign season prepared to jack whoever lied to, on or about Black folks.

I am, however, under no illusion about Republican candidates. Frank Rich was right in Ronald Reagan Is Still Dead (GHOD, I love that title).
