Talk:Barack Hussein Obama (view source)
Revision as of 16:01, February 13, 2008
, 16:01, February 13, 2008→"He has no clear personal achievement that cannot be explained as the likely result of affirmative action"
::::Let's say there's a young white guy, not bad-looking, but not all that original a thinker. His parent is a famous theocrat and a founder of the new Religious Right in the late 70s/early 80s. Despite his lack of original thinking and intelligence, he manages to get into an ivy league school, and despite that, his greatest accomplishment is a bizarre blogwiki hybrid on which he spreads hate and fear to children. Isn't that affirmative action?

Peggy Noonan, that well-known leftist, in the well-known leftist publication The Wall Street Journal:
"He is the brilliant young black man as American dream. No consultant, no matter how opportunistic and hungry, will think it easy--or professionally desirable--to take him down in a low manner. If anything, they've learned from the Clintons in South Carolina what that gets you. (I add that yes, there are always freelance mental cases, who exist on both sides and are empowered by modern technology. They'll make their YouTubes. But the mad are ever with us, and this year their work will likely stay subterranean.)"
Possibly she means you guys. I merely suggest. ;-)
