Responding to satvadude's and Sal's posts... Re Robinson's column:

She's neither, of course, and I seriously doubt she'd consider being Obama's running mate. I'd certainly advise against it. Did you hallucinate that I suggested it?

Actually, I never have, although I think it's an accurate description. (About a month ago, I did post an article from an Australian columnist who said his treatment of Hillary in the New Hampshire debate was arrogant.) > > Translation: arrogant=uppity Nope, it means exactly the same thing it does when Robinson calls Hillary arrogant (as you'd know if you actually read the article). > > Judy is just like Geraldine Ferraro wondering why > > the little negroes just won't stay in their place and > > be thankful for all we have done for them. Ferraro, of course, wondered nothing of the kind, nor do I. How funny that satvadude vigorously insists it's the Clintonites who are the race-baiters, not the Obama supporters. > > Despicable and shameful. That's right, you are. You can't stand it when Obama is judged by the same standards that are applied to everyone else, so you scream "racism." You want Obama to get a *pass* because he's black. That's what Ferraro was complaining about. > > --- In [email protected], "authfriend" <jstein@> wrote: > >> > >> ON DEADLINE: Obama walks arrogance line > >> By RON FOURNIER, Associated Press Writer > >> Mon Mar 17, 1:57 AM ET > > Notice the date on the article. Judy had to dig > back months to find something defamatory. You were thrilled with Robinson's article, Sal, in which he leveled the same accusation at Clinton. Or do you, like satvadude, consider any criticism of Obama to be automatically defamatory? And I didn't have to "dig." I saved that article when I first read it back in March. What Fournier describes hasn't changed since then, of course. I posted it now because of Robinson's article accusing Clinton of arrogance. I'd be happy to post a whole batch of *current* articles that are critical of Obama if you like. Just say the word. (But you'll have to wait till tomorrow, because I'm just out of posts for the week.)
