POPSWhite Supremacists Cheer Obama Convinced that all will see the inferiority of non-white people if Obama is elected. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Maybe Affirmative Action boosted him to the top of his Harvard Law class. Maybe it suppressed unfortunate McCain to the bottom of his US Naval Academy class.

POPSHillary, We Hardly Knew Ye But the one in the concession speech was a compelling candidate; would she have won if she'd been this way the whole time? Did she lose by trying to be the things that stereotypes say you have to be to win as a woman, rather than being herself?

POPSKU KLUX KLAN WON'T ENDORSE OBAMA! Excellent satire - read the whole thing! Healthcare, it is assumed, is their point of disagreement. And "Noting her strength with the broad swaths of people who have no intention of actually voting for her, Senator Clinton also feels Obama's weakness with people who hate both of them with a passion should give unpledged superdelegates pause."

POPSHamas Condemns the Holocaust The Holocaust was not only a crime against humanity but one of the most abhorrent crimes in modern history. We condemn it as we condemn every abuse of humanity and all forms of discrimination on the basis of religion, race, gender or nationality.

POPSRacial fears in Kentucky Astonishingly frank treatment, followed by text of history summary re: mining companies'/unions' past racism. These views do need to be understood and addressed in order that they not be used to stoke political paranoia. You won't find this in the MSM - only Aljazeera speaks this bluntly.

POPSGore Vidal: Obama better than JFK Re Clinton: "... this long campaign, this daily search for the grail, has driven her crazy.” Re McCain: You could beat McCain! ... He went to a private school and came bottom of his class. He smashed up his aeroplane and became a prisoner of war, which he is trying to parlay into ‘war hero’.” “a goddamned fool. He was on television talking about mortgages, and it was quite clear he does not know what a mortgage is. His head rattles as he walks”.

POPSWas it sexism that doomed Clinton? People are right to decry boorish anti-Clinton comments, offensive jokes, and the bilge, bile, and billings-gate of the talk-radio blowhards, as well as occasional over-the-top utterances from cable commentators. But let's not mistake the Bruegelian sideshow for the political mainstream. Even allowing for all that stupidity, the notion that sexism is primarily to blame for Clinton's woes doesn't pass logical muster.

POPSTell the truth about race in America "to talk today requires a different and perhaps deeper courage when confronted with so many mirages of equality. It is tempting to be confused by these oases of opportunity and forget the desert of inequality through which most people are still struggling." "The demand for justice is divisive and culturally closed: it divides those who seek justice from the unjust. It rejects a culture that promotes individual or corporate profit at any cost." "Too many people want to take the short cut. They want African-Americans to reconcile themselves to a government, which does not represent them, actively disenfranchises them, destroys their homes (and whole cities if need be), imprisons their children and ships the rest off to war, and never ask why or who is responsible. This is the reconciliation „on the cheap“ -- cheap for white and corporate America that is." - Brother Bede Vincent

POPSGingrich warns Republicans of "catastrophic election" Time for a fresh start. May I suggest these sure-fire strategies: TAX CUTS! Blame BIG GUBMINT. Pitch TRICKLE DOWN. How 'bout that WAR ON TARA? How 'bout WE WON'T DO ANYTHING ON HEALTHCARE? Or WE WON'T TALK ABOUT RACE. If those don't bring us to our senses, bring out the deep stuff: WRIGHT! ELITIST! SOCIALIZED MEDICINE! LIBBRUL! Oh my, he's right. All the milk's gone sour.

POPSArt of the Whopper #2 - Clinton: "Rich people, God bless us ..." [20 sec.] Spokesman Wolfson insists she said "God blessed us." Not a chance. Actual text: "You know what, rich people, God bless us, we deserve all the opportunities to make sure our country and our blessings continue to the next generation." A-men! That's why we have government - to protect God's blessed rich folks from predatory minimum-wage earners.
