They were talking about this on Larry King last night and it's pretty damn scary. Some of these people just "look" stuck on stupid and yes, I know that may sound mean, but damn, when will we ever progress in this country if we can't see past skin color.

The DNC had so much more vitality and life to it (of course I'm partial) that it gave me true hope that the past is behind us.

We have GOT to win this thing!

5. The Daily Show was BRILLIANT on this last night..
With all the important Rpublicans on the Gulf Coast... The delgates were left behind in the excel stadium. Some were not fed, the champaign ran out early.. Look down at this sea of white faces, abandoned... alone...

Watch it if you can. It was masterful.

6.  It's striking, idn't i?
I'm glad they talked about it on Larry King.

The GOP is not even pretending to give a sh*t about people of color anymore. Good.

7. A sea?
A sea?

Every once in awhile MSNBC 'panned' - and if you didn't see it - they had them 'huddled up together'. Lots and lots of empty seats . . .


But the ones that WERE filled??? My mom (white) made the same comment. :rofl:

Edited on Wed Sep-03-08 03:00 PM by tigereye
I still have a bad image in my head from those purple band-aids they wore last time around.... :puke:


I'm guessing that McCain, being an actual Veteran, wouldn't puil crap like that, but you never know.
