From this point forward I can envision more banter from Glenn the queen of the chatter class....Instead of moving forward Glenn wants to continue the partisan antics..

It must be hard for Glenn to realize that change is coming and the chatter class of people like Glenn do not matter...

Joan has always had contempt for the Obama family and this worthless commentary only confirms the obvious..I found Joan's shallow excuse that nothing is off the agenda when it comes to Obama a dodge and a deflection a cheap parlor trick whenever folks like me attack this shallow type of journalism...

Erin's opinion reflects her low self esteem and need to be validated by white liberals not a surprise really given her history as a writer..

I am Black as well ..I guess according to Joan's ethics since a black woman is the author of this nonsense all is well on the range...

I expect more from Salon and other white liberal magazines they simply do not know how to handle this new reality a Black man who does not them to direct traffic....Truth is I expect more backlash from liberal whites than rednecks....Liberal whites have always had a legacy of contempt for those uppity coloreds...

I did dumb then down of course for troll cops like you and chris....I will note this to echo my theme about Glenn just read the nonsense Salon has published about Michelle's butt written by Erin Kaplan..

I think the major backlash that Obama's tenure will be from white liberals not the usual red neck suspects...Of course this is not a surprise for Black activists we have always had to deal with the contempt and envy of white liberals it must be a dick thing with them..I guess size does matter....lol,lol,lol,

Again my forecast about white liberals has not changed of course I will keep an open mind during Obama's tenure but I do realize it is hard to change the culture of a group....

It is hard to change the ethos of a group of people overnight from my vantage point as a Black man I never observe that much of a difference between whites regardless of their politics when it came to racial issues.

My parents were called negro/colored/and a number of other names by many white liberals even after the civil rights movement...

I hope white liberals will mature and evolve..I really do...I will keep hope alive of course..

stay tuned.I will be around for a while ...

oh yeah..lol,lol,lol

Somehow this fact made Joan at ease in publishing this trash..

wow what a courageous intellectual coward Glenn is...

Fact is he cannot handle the very idea that Obama thought is was a good move to not demonize Lieberman and to move forward as a nation..

Again my premise remains the same white liberals and their inherent contempt for people of color( Obama) will be more lethal for the nation than the usual red neck conservative right wingers...

On this same site Salon has also published some cheap sleaze about Michelle's butt ..

this is sad reading a Black woman surrender to the seduction of popular culture( salon) just to appeased white folks she is not a good negro and follower of Obama...

How sad...

I found Joan's reasoning and excuses as offensive as the commentary by Erin....Yet as a Black man I do understand the various impacts and influences white racism has on Black folks in this culture it really has harmed and destroyed many people...

Erin's actions are not new but for me what is more significant is how white liberals will response to a reality of Black personhood they have never witnessed or observed on a scale of this nature..A liberated Black man with a set of paradigms unk to the so-called progressives is really life altering and will be a series of events that will truly alter american culture....

This is a threshold moment and it is truly awesome on every plane of reality

and it captured you 100%..

I am going to enjoy observing white liberals/progressives not be able to handle a Black man of Obama's depth and iconic status ... They have no idea about the true being of the nature of a person like Obama as such it troubles them and as a result we get these petty attacks by the chatter class icons who have zero clout outside of their chat forums...

Glenn is no match on any level with Obama..He should deal with that truth ..I am sure it will make him sleep better at nite..

Oh yeah...lol,lol,lol

Do me a favor ignore me so I can ignore you..You are already boring me and I just got here tonite....

which are really zero nonsense but you ignore because he is a slug.......lol,lol,lol

yeah lounge lizard is a good handle for derbig.....lol,lol,lol

what a boring routine ahead....

oh yeah...lol,lo,lol

Nice gesture but really ERIN Kaplan cheap pulp fiction to validate her Blackness at the expense of Black woman is a very old custom in Black venues..We have long tolerated black apologists, self esteem challenged Black folks, all manner of Black folks that have been wounded by white racism, privledge, supremacy,etc you know the script...

I am sadden that people Like Joan and salon fear the reality of this moment and threshold chapter of American life about to unfold in full view on jan 20, 2009....
