12. Just curious....

I wasn't here for the 2004 primaries. Did they use black-face videos to illustrate their points? Maybe some Stepin Fetchit videos to accompany their rants about Obama's supposed ineffectualness in Congress? I'm just gonna assume they did and I was lucky enough to miss it.

The thing is, SL could have made his point just fine without the video. But I guess he wanted to add a little extra splash of racism to the melange.

Oh -- I see now that it's been hidden. I dunno. Sometimes I think it's better to have this stuff out in the open so people can see what they're dealing with.
