It's because he's black, isn't it?

I do wonder if people would be throwing the fits they are if he was white.

It's a theory that's been worming it's way through my mind for a couple of months now. The sheer depth and scope of lunacy seems strange even in a politically charged period. No, this is something more. This is once-in-history style craziness that I haven't seen in my life yet because this is the first major integration that's taken place in my time.

If it's about the school thing for Tuesday, there is a bit more to it than just him talking, I think. Jody and I caught someone from a local news station taking some footage at the school yesterday, and we talked to her about it. She claimed she was about as far left as you can get, that we've been through eight years of "stupid," and so forth, and was clearly very much for Obama. But apparently the lesson plans that were sent out for use with the speech were... dodgy. Even she used the term "indoctrination." There's a difference between "What can you think of that you can do to help the world/your community/your school?" and "What can you think of that you can do to help the President?"

It's not just the school thing, though that's the most recent cherry on the pile currently threatening to drown the whole Republican-party-as-cake metaphor ( ... )
