“The alert among you will have noticed by now that what all these spiritually uplifting leaders have in common. They are all Democrats. Never in any of the chapters of this hagiography does a Republican, a conservative, appear in a remotely similar light. These alien creatures by contrast have always been portrayed as cartoonish representatives of the Dark Side of humanity, or, if they were really lucky, simply idiots, failed B-movie actors and irredeemably ignorant hicks with embarrassingly neanderthal views on women, religion and communism…
Mr Obama is portrayed throughout as an immanently benevolent figure. Not human really, more a comforting presence, a light source. He is always eager to listen to all aides of an argument, always instilling confidence in the weak-willed, resolutely sticking to his high principles and tirelessly spurning the low road of electoral politics. I stopped reading after a while but I’m sure by the end he was healing the sick, comforting the dying, restoring sight to the blind and setting prisoners free.”

Unless the Irish are cheap too, I heard this attributed to the stingy Scotsmen.

L.A. organizers demand moratorium on racist ICE raids

Press conference denounces Utah raid
On May 13, pro-immigrant organizations held a press conference and emergency rally to protest the ongoing raids and deportations targeting undocumented workers across the United States.
Juan José Gutiérrez, one of the
speakers at the press conference,
at a 2007 action.
Community leaders and organizers demanded that the raids and deportations be stopped and called for immediate and comprehensive immigration reform.
The federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid on May 12 in Postville, Iowa, at Agriprocessors Inc., the nation’s largest kosher slaughterhouse, is a prime example of these racist attacks against the working community. About 700 workers, more than half of the plant’s workforce, were arrested in the raid. As a result of this racist action by the federal government, more innocent families have been divided.
The latest raid on the undocumented community is what sparked the Los Angeles call to action.
Speakers at the press conference and rally included Juan José Gutiérrez, Latino Movement U.S.A.; Angelina Corona, Executive Director of Hermandad Mexicana Nacional; Raúl Murillo, president of Federación de Clubes de Chihuahua; Ian Thompson, ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) organizer and former Iowa resident; and Cecilia Rodríguez, director of Alianza Hondureña de Los Angeles.
“The situation where the immigrant communities are under siege by ICE and other local police agencies has become intolerable,” stated Gutiérrez.
Thompson gave a statement of solidarity with the immigrant community: “These racist raids are crimes against the immigrant communities from small-town Iowa to Los Angeles. There shouldn’t be any second-class citizens. All people who labor should be recognized and treated as equal under the law. We won’t stop organizing until we achieve full rights for all undocumented people and ICE is shut down completely.”
Party for Socialism and Liberation members distributed dozens of candidate statements from Marylou Cabral and Stephen Hinze, PSL candidates for Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Districts 4 and 5. Both candidates demand that ICE be thrown out of Los Angeles County and that Southern California be designated a sanctuary for undocumented workers.
The action was covered by all the major Spanish-language media stations. ANSWER’s Los Angeles office received dozens of calls of support in the hours following the event.

Money graph:
(Obama) is a smart and eloquent man with a personal history that is startlingly shallow set against the scale of the office he seeks to hold. It is not only legitimate, but necessary, to scrutinise his past and infer what it might tell us about his beliefs, in the absence of the normal record of achievement expected in a presidential nominee.

Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma said after losing three GOP seats in special elections in Illinois, Louisiana and Mississippi, this was evidence that…
Nah, Mr. Cole… just keep trying to define Senator Obama in a derogatory manner and pay no attention to personal foibles and seriously flawed political philosophy of the candidates you’re running and it’s a win, win, win situation for the Democrats!

I’m hoping for a “we are the world” Democrat party video.

Wow, is that a good piece.
drjohn on May 17, 2008 at 9:07 AM
It’s Larry Johnson. Don’t hold your breath.
drjohn on May 17, 2008 at 9:10 AM
I heard the same thing,
“There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’ Bama”
abinitioadinfinitum on May 17, 2008 at 9:14 AM
Wow, I love how Larry Johnson is filling the role he wrote for Rove in his head. Brilliant.
