6. They must also acknowledge their white privilege and that Obama is a Reagan Repub-Lite..............

because, hey.....they're all just a bunch of Third-Way lily white limousine type liberals, right?

BTW, in case this needs to be pointed out, I wasn't being all that serious with the title. But it does bother me that way too many people are willing to paint Obama as a neoliberal Bush-lite; the line also pokes fun at the literal "white privilege" weirdness that a few folks on here seem to have subscribed to.....(which is, TBH, about as nutty as the former.....) BTW, you'd also be surprised at just how many people outside of DU actually subscribe to both at the same time. (This was certainly true a few years ago before I joined this site, although it's possible things may have changed significantly since then, though I haven't detected that myself at this point.)
