Obama).

I used to have the highest respect in Joe Conason. In the past, he has been a useful voice against the RW smears. This is why I cannot understand how he would lower himself to write this article and in effect swiftboat Obama.

And it really shows how shallow is the support for Hllary in some parts of the Democratic Party. "Be very afraid, he is black and the racists will not vote for him!".
.

The good news is that, despite the fact that he was clearly trying to swiftboat Obama himself, he could find nothing except to tell us that we did not already know, that the racists will not vote for Obama.

And his reason to support Hillary by itself is really weak. We already know what they are going to throw at her. Well, if Obama wins, we can be sure we will already know everything as the Clinton's allies will have done the job for the RW. So, no real difference, sir.

The unscrupulous right wing will do exactly the same thing to Hillary Clinton if she wins the nomination -- except that those smears will have to be reruns.

The Katrina Administration

...

This is the Katrina administration. It has consistently squandered time, tax dollars, political capital, and even risked American lives on sideshow adventures: A war of choice in Iraq against someone who had nothing to do with 9/11; a full scale presidential assault on Social Security when everyone knows the real crisis is in health care - Medicare and Medicaid. And that's before you even get to willful denial on global warming; avoidance on competitiveness; complicity in the loss and refusal of health care to millions.

Robert. F. Kennedy
All great questions must be raised by great voices, and the greatest voice is the voice of the people - speaking out - in prose, or painting or poetry or music; speaking out - in homes and halls, streets and farms, courts and cafes - let that voice speak and the stillness you hear will be the gratitude of mankind."
