Are the wheels coming off

The depressing way in which the US media is using the sermons of Reverend Wright to try to derail Senator Obama's candidacy is already having effects on recent polling even though the good Senator Picked up at least 7 more delegates in Iowa ( Jane Elliot did a wonderful job). Reading the postings on a lot of blogs especially on the Washington Post board it is clear that the ugly racism that is the foundation of the United States has woken fully to its ugly. Even though I wish many of the posers will go into a darkroom take their pills and lie down till after November, alas it is just wishful thinking. The only antidote I found is this article on the Open Left blog. It somehow opens up a new lens. Enjoy.
