"as Palin bent Obama and the Democrats over, shoved a leather gag in their mouths and flogged them"
Well, now we know Kamiya's fantasy. And the reason why sane, decent, consistently anti-racist people are recoiling from this magazine and Obama's campaign. Pretty much a straight line from Norman Mailer's "White Negro" fantasizes of "being the oppressed one" to accusations like this. Fifty years of liberal decline, fueled by self-indulgent sexual projection and obsessive accusations of prejudice by unstable male leadership in what was once a real political movement.
If the candidate doesn't respond to this type of extreme sexual attack on his opponent, it will reflect on him. White female voters -- all voters -- need to think very hard about the implication -- that we are the real sexual predators, the real racists, simply by existing. If you like that type of thing, well, Salon is your reading material. If racism disgusts you, and racism disguised as liberalism doubly disgusts you, there are places on the web where people will treat you with respect regardless of your skin color or differing views on things like issues.
Salon is not one of those places, unfortunately.
