Buddy, K and WAde – posted a response but it doesn’t seem to have taken – Too tired to re-up all of it now – So Quick –
@ Bud – Life during WArtime? That’s my prob – Mac vs. O is politics. It’s not war by another means…Since you’re a COen bro fan – look out for RAlph Stanley’s bluegrass pro-O ad – playing in VA – Oh Brother Where art THou?
@ K- praised your conservative skepticism to the skies but no time for that now!!! – my pillow’s calling so here’s the point I wanted you to consider — Think of your own past as a Trot – Your own CONNECTION to Ayers – the fellow VAnguard PArtier – I can honestly say, I NEVER went there – Always believed in Demos (for real). So did O. Never a vanguardist – always All-American. And on that score – just think what a contrib the guy’s made to his country. He’s pretty much singlehandedly DESTROYED the politics of race-based ressentiment (on the black-hand side). Done more in this campaign for our country than a thousand Tom Sowells could EVER do…ANd this is a pol that Wretch “despises” – Damn – he knows zip about the felt life of this country…
You’re taking Pegler down MORE than a peg. HE called JEWS GEESE!! He called for Bobby’s assassination. He ID’ed with White Citizens’s Councils – Ok – So you want to give Palin a pass for invoking this racist’s line on the moral superiority of the provinces. Then you should BOW DOWN to O for criticizing the racial provincialism of WRight AND for imagining form within (w/o contempt) the race-based movements of mind of some “local” white w.c. people – C’mon – his moral imagination is functioning on another plane than Palin’s. She don’t SCARE me. But do you really think she comes out well when you compare their responses to varieties of American racialism/provincialism?
WADE – I’m not feeling like Lady Macbeth – and I don’t mean Cindy- I’m not alone in believing with absolute sincerity that an embodiment of worldliness and liberal-mindedness like O is going to do a better job of pursuing the culture war against Islamist totalitarians than Mac (or W.)
