is one of the sharpest writers on a site of great writers. I quoted her because she describes the race-baiting of white and black Obama supporters to a tee.

and I'm not an Indian immigrant. Y

You Obama supporters lack reading comprehension skills.

No Quarter had a good article about race-baiting today:

I think the recent race-baiting strategy of Obama and his cronies backfired royally.

As an immigrant from India, I am new to this black/white dynamic in America.

I deplore anybody using stereotype or prejudice. I am also uncomfortable with the other two phenomena — the “white man’s burden” on the one hand and the racial bias on the other. Both equally cripple true democratic discourse. For instance, in people like Senator Byrd, there is evidence of bigoted behavior from the past. Did it have an impact in his decision to dismiss Hillary Clinton’s candidacy during the Democratic primary? Was it fear of being accused of racism if he didn’t support Obama and the specter of his KKK days being plastered on TV? Senator Byrd surely ignored that Hillary Clinton won WV handily and that she was the more experienced candidate. He must have known that Obama was an empty suit but still endorsed him. How many others suffered from this disease of white man’s guilt or fear before they voted for Obama?

On the other side of the divide, we had AAs voting for him in droves without the slightest regard for his merit or lack of it as a candidate. Even now, majority of them feel that the recent opposition to him is based on racism. In their racial bias, they did not pay attention to his lack of qualifications or experience and now feel that he should be given a pass. While a state senator in Chicago, he did not necessarily take good care of his constituents who were predominantly AA — see this fantastic Flineo video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWb3chi3EBc] for a bit of evidence on that. In a nutshell what you see in that video is Obama’s grand accomplishment. With the incoming fire on ACORN these days, and Obama as a champion community organizer who propped that organization up, you have to wonder what he really did accomplish. Where are the results?

On fauxgressives:

Eliot is white and has a huge amount of white guilt. He does not, however, have any male guilt.

Everyone should talk about principles (such as sexism and feminism)and policy (single payer and public option) not politics (sausage making) and power (winning elections). The Obama administration should makes the argument for liberalism like FDR or Anthony Weiner.

selise said: it's impossible not to notice that the complaints now being made about public option advocates are some of the very same kind of complaints the public option advocates have spent the past year making about single payer advocates. just substitute "single payer" for "public option."

Glenn said: Who are the people who have been doing that?

Glenn, the single payer advocates are PNHP, Single Payer Action, California Nurses Association, Health Care NOW!, Mad As Hell Doctors, National Organization for Women under Terry O'Neill, Corrente, Suburban Guerilla, The Sideshow, Alegre's Corner and other Clinton supporter blogs like Reclusive Leftist, The Confluence, Blue Lyon, Dissenting Justice, Cannonfire, The Widdershins, Cinie's World, Black Agenda Report, Donna Darko.

but didn't feel like going to conferences.

You have to look beneath the surface. Youth and race got us Obama/Bush III. Via The Reclusive Leftist:

To attend the conference, you have to have been a NOW member for at least three months. And to vote in the conference, you have to be not only a member (naturally), but also a delegate from your chapter. There are a limited number of delegate slots, and the delegates are chosen by the chapter presidents. And once you get to the conference, you have to be credentialed, a byzantine process involving picture IDs, membership records, sign-offs, etc.

Alice, they were Clinton supporters and Palin DEFENDERS meaning former Clinton supporters who protest sexism and misogyny against all women.

could have endorsed the McKinney/Clemente ticket which many PUMAs voted for. I abstained as I could not support McCain or Obama.

is lifelong, pro-choice, Democrats and feminists like myself. We were angry for the first time in NOW's history, they endorsed a Presidential candidate/ticket without a woman. NOW has only endorsed four Presidential candidates/tickets, Shirley Chisholm, Walter Mondale/Geraldine Ferraro, Carol Moseley Braun and Barack Obama/Joe Biden:

1972: NOW endorses Shirley Chisholm, a NOW member, in the democratic primary. Chisholm is the first African American woman to run for President, and NOW's first presidential endorsement. NOW rarely endorses Presidential candidates.

1984: NOW makes its second presidential endorsement, supporting women's rights champion Walter Mondale, former Vice President, in the democratic primary. With NOW's urging a "Woman VP NOW," Mondale selects Geraldine Ferraro for Vice President. NOW campaigns nationwide for Mondale/Ferraro.

2003: NOW endorses Carol Moseley Braun, the second African-American woman to run for U.S. President.

2008: On September 16, NOW endorsed Barack Obama for president. NOW originally endorsed Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton for president during the Democratic Party Primary. Also made known that they would not support Sarah Palin, the running mate of Obama's Republican counterpart, John McCain.

not Palin supporters. PUMAs protested the misogyny against Clinton, Palin and Clinton supporters and continue to protest sexism and misogyny in all its forms.
