Strike/Boycott's over, or at least my part of it is.
I am not going to be posting here much, however, until the primaries are over. I respect the spirit of the boycott and will honor those who are still fully engaged in it by only posting here sporadically. But when I think there's a point to get across, I will post here. At some point, you have to engage your opponents on their own turf if you hope to get your message across.
What brings me here tonight is "BitterGate."
Bittergate is going to be at least as crippling to Barack Obama, I believe, as Jeremiah Wright. There is a caveat, however, and it is this: "in the general election."
I'll be brief, and let the included videos do the rest of my discussion for myself (and for my conservative brother; you can see what the right wing thinks of all of this). Let's do it in equation style:
Rezko + Wright + BitterGate + Auchi + ... = Obama as albatross to our party
Barack Obama = Adlai Stevenson = elitist (probable) nominee who gets crushed in the general election
Barack Obama = "Barack X" because of affinity for Malcolm X, commitment to obtain the nomination by any means necessary, connection to "chickens coming home to roost" Wright, connection with Ayers, Wright's connection to Farrakhan.

No, I'm not sticking around to hear all of your constructive criticism and praise. But thanks in advance, and you're welcome for the videos.
thumbs up
