Rednecks for Obama
If you've seen this and this (careful about the language in that last one), you'll probably need this little story to restore some faith.
Update: Here's another one of these videos. This is getting ugly.

To quote the article, race is still the elephant in the voting booth.
To put my own spin, notice that it's elephant and not donkey.
Will they be considered "terrorists" if involved in attacking Mr. Obama if ( & when ) he becomes President? By the way I'm white.

You might disagree with, and/or ridicule the people selected for inclusion in the video clip, at the McCain/Palin rally, but they sure seemed head & shoulders & midriff & hips above the Hillary Clinton voter as far as intelligence & education.
None of them smart enough to realize that voting for either wing of our Single Ruling Party amounts to voting for No Change.

former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer said that Obama's pastor's comments were still a cause for concern.
"The statements that your clergy make when you join give a little bit of an indication of your own sense of right and wrong, and you cannot just divorce from that," Fleischer said during a plenary session of the United Jewish Communities' Washington 15, a gathering of more than 1,000 donors younger than 45 who are active in the Jewish federation system.
"If my rabbi had made those statements, I would have left the synagogue immediately," said Fleischer, an active board member of the Republican Jewish Coalition. "It really troubles me that Barack Obama only waited until now to speak out about this issue.
"He was like a typical politician: It became a controversy, so he distanced himself. This is a very worrisome sign to me."

Shame.
Faith without deeds is dead. Deeds without faith is dead. White evangelicals who cling to the notion that Barack Obama is a terrorist and a Muslim have lost their faith. Lack of faith is the root of unreasonable fear. May this election year and presidency herald the awakening of faith and the passing of fear.
