Could you please give us the Cliff notes verson?
I’m not up to speed on this at all.

Obama seems to promote divisiveness. The above comment is a prime example. You are being insulted - both for your presumed age, and for a racial bias anyone who’s bothered to read your work knows is total bullshit. But the Obama supporter could care less. He or she jumps into reactionary mode – attack, attack, attack - belittle, belittle, belittle. All based upon an erroneous assumption.

This is what usually happens on any progressive blog these days. Ask ‘where’s the beef’ - and you get attacked and insulted. I used to wish Obama acolytes would realize they were doing their candidate a disservice by trashing anyone who asks such questions. I now question if all this isn’t exactly as Obama wishes. Pitting people against one other is an excellent camouflage. You don’t have to explain yourself if anytime someone asks, you question their motives.

I hope I’m wrong – but the tenor of his followers disturbs me greatly. They behave way too much like Bush supporters – the same triggers, the same language, the same prejudices. It’s disappointing. I had such high hopes.
