Oh, but they are very good at taking audio files and playing them over a still of the speaker. Hell, I bet at least 20% of the Faux News viewers would not recognize the difference.

miracles do happen.
This is the first year, (in my recollected existance), where my mother/father and self will all be voting for the same candidate.
I've always known my parents to be fervent biggots. Black w/ a white man's education now seems to make the cut. So far as I'm concerned, better then me stomaching the replay of dinner conversations focused on the injustice, (to the white man), of Affirmative Action...
I must admit, the movement of their new found views makes me giddy.
Even my parents, with all their distrust of skins slightly darker then th'arz, see through the BS shoveled out by pop. media + the blog-o-negate-U-o-sphere, as well as the tital waves of BS shoveled out by the last two candidates mentioned.
FINALLY, all three of us agree that it doesn't take an 8-year-old to see that the "racist" accusation is often just a shortcut to thinking, (AND feeling).
/end rant.
So yes, in this particular issue, I have to agree.
