in This Primary Campaign Has Brought Out The Best And Worst In Me on Jack and Jill Politics
"One thing about republicans is that they are good at winning, and we are good at losing. And we can't blame Karl Rove or the John Kerry windsurfing ad- we just suck at this. Except for the Clintons."
Who...just lost. And if the Great Winners got beat? Then maybe you can have a little faith in the team that beat them.

in This Primary Campaign Has Brought Out The Best And Worst In Me on Jack and Jill Politics
i respect this post. i've had a similar feeling...tho not quite the same ending. i have to say i've never lost sight of what hillary's supporters were fueled by. i too went out and covered her events in my work and met her supporters up close. i think it was here that i first articulated that understanding.hell, i even made her supporters a video. and in that last linked post i talked about how i separated my feelings from HRC from those i have for many of her online supporters.
of course that was right before the whole rfk blowup, at which point i hardened a bit. toward her and her supporters, at least the ones getting all outraged that "obama pulled the race card on her and ruined her chances" and blaming her gross statement on him and us (Obama's supporters).
and there, i basically found a divide i often talk about, on that is at the core of my own blog's purpose...a divide in seeing the world and people. and seeing the dominant culture as setting values for all, and some people see it the way i do, and some seemingly never will. sometimes its race based, sometimes class. events will point out and highlight these divides. its not the events so much as the gap in our experience and way of seeing things. those people who dare accuse obama of using race in a negative way simply see the world in a very different light than i do. and we would undoubtedly disagree on many things, primary or no. and to those who want to hold on to those gross ideas or sulk on it, they can go take a flying leap. i have nothing to say to them until they open their minds.
but overall, it's a good point to be making.

in FOX NEWS JOKES ABOUT OBAMA ASSASSINATION on Jack and Jill Politics
the woman should be fired. and investigated pronto.
can you imagine if, say, Wolf Blitzer said "We can only hope Bill Clinton will be shot."
can you just IMAGINE. for just one tiny moment. it would be the news for weeks. blitzer would be on a corner with a cup in his hand.
and yes, i think its best we obama supporters starve this line of thought of oxygen from here on in. it doesnt help anythinng to keep the conversation up. which is why both FOX and HRC want to keep having it.

just a note:
we cannot say definitively that "chicanos" dont have african heritage. check mexican history. there was a portion of the population early on that was black. so no chicano knows that for sure, unless they do a DNA test.
