Isn't there a difference between *supporting* Obama and voting for
him?
A distinction without a difference. Voting is *electoral* support--
and if that Obama voter is honest enough to put his money where his
mouth is, he will have *contributed* to Obama. Voting for Obama is
voting *against* Stein (or whichever Left candidate that Obamist
claims to agree with). And giving money to Obama is supporting a
criminal regime in the only way open to an otherwise-powerless
"radical."
And stop with the nonsense of Chomsky, a lifelong anti-Marxist, being
some kind of moral exemplar.
