Several events had yet to take place when I commented on this topic originally.

Bridgett thinks that the media is covering up for the GOP’s lack of diversity:

Mack Farmer is increasingly underwhelmed by the level of participation by young folks in his local political party:

"Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer."

That quote is so true, and it's why I watch Fox News. If I don't watch Fox News and know about the lies and hate they spread, then I can't discount them.

Jessie Jackson: "See, Barack been talking down to black people on this faith based ... I want cut his nuts off ... Barack ... he's talking down to black people."

Kaus thinks Obama is being condescending. He probably should have taken a cue from David Gergen, who, last night on CNN argued he was not in the best position to comment on how Obama’s town hall lecture would play in the Black community, being a middle aged White dude and all.
