Furthered by the fact that the Bush administration then used the attacks as the basis to mount a war justifiable by very few factors outside the realm of private profiteering, by companies with which members of the administration are themselves closely affiliated.

]]> <![CDATA[Andrea Peyser Revokes Human Status Of Rappers]]> @CaptainFantastic: I'd agree if the Bush administration hadn't ignored persistent warnings throughout the summer leading up to the attacks that were explicitly warning of a big attack. Ignored. If, also, Bush hadn't dismissed the CIA functionary who read him the brief entitled al Qaeda determined to strike in U.S. on the ranch with a curt, "you've covered your ass, you can go now." And if the Bush administration hadn't vigorously resisted every effort to investigate what happened that day. Basically, I believe Richard Clarke when he says that the efforts to fight al Qaeda under Clinton were discontinued under Bush. Finally, the biggest mistake was non-partisan, and that was the CIA's refusal to share information it had on Mohammad Atta with the team investigating the bombing of the USS Cole. That was the biggie, and it didn't belong to any party, except, perhaps, the party of institutional assholery.

]]> <![CDATA[Andrea Peyser Revokes Human Status Of Rappers]]> @Chaim Gnadelstein: being old enough to remember a Religious Left, when party of god types preached that god wanted war to end, not continue for 100 years, i am cautiously optimistic that a quiet generation gap is opening between the younger fundamentalists/evangelicals and the older generation of patricarchal leaders that deified war and demagogued gays

]]> <![CDATA[Andrea Peyser Revokes Human Status Of Rappers]]> @Mediahohoho:

As much as I would like to, I wouldn't count out the religious contingent. Yeah, a few high-profile leaders have been revealed as intellectually-challenged -- or ecstasy-addicted closet homosexuals -- but at the end of the day this is a faction of voters that appeals to god, not their leaders. That's an absolute devotion -- so much so that it almost becomes apolitical discourse. A candidate would only need to reaffirm the Right's intention to represent them, or take them into the fold, and I think McCain, though a figure of some obvious contention amongst Republicans, is in the best position to do that. I can find little reason for his cozying up to Bush than the realization that he could inherit the religious right as part of his base.

Chaim Gnadelstein

]]> <![CDATA[Andrea Peyser Revokes Human Status Of Rappers]]> @Mediahohoho: The only thing I'll argue is your assertion that the blame for 9/11 rests mainly on Republican party. W was only in office for 8 months at the time, and Clinton had been in charge for 8 years before that. The attack was building for many administrations, but that puts at least 51% of the blame on Clinton and the Dems, in my opinion.

]]> <![CDATA[Andrea Peyser Revokes Human Status Of Rappers]]> @Mediahohoho: Things I know: you're not sexist and I'm not a racist. That I hate how a recent democratic primary vote seems to necessarily render you one of these two things. That I feel sheepish as I walk, buttonless and in full curse of the celts glory, through a crowd of Obama supporters-- because the tenor of the discourse makes me feel so.

Is the country racist? The last two elections taught me one thing: I have absolutely no clue what Americans as a whole are thinking. I can no more speak on their behalf than I can aliens. Space Aliens, I mean. Just to be clear.

TerseNursePornstein

]]> <![CDATA[Andrea Peyser Revokes Human Status Of Rappers]]> @Chaim Gnadelstein: We'll see. Something tells me the religious-pragmatic alliance is played, what with all their leaders having been revealed as either hustler-patronizing closet cases, Catholic bashers or pederast enablers on the one hand and disgruntled tax zealots on the other.

As for McCain, I don't really feel the charisma. Seems like a nice guy, but the angry vindictive steak stuff is going to get a ton of play (eventually) and he won't contrast good against a 46-year-old.

As for the war, the 100-year-comment is going to haunt him and the more he tries to explain it, the worse it's going to get.

Still, I give him even odds. Depends on if the Dems can find the balls to go negative and hang 9/11 on the Republican party where it belongs.

This is the part where I duck.

]]> <![CDATA[Andrea Peyser Revokes Human Status Of Rappers]]> @Mediahohoho:

Yeah, but Bush's ace in the hole there was in courting the religious contingent -- he basically tapped into new a market. That, and Bob Dole had about as much charisma as a rock.

Chaim Gnadelstein

]]> <![CDATA[Andrea Peyser Revokes Human Status Of Rappers]]> @TerseNursePornstein: Also, please forgive my specificity in the comment to which I believe you were referring. In exit polling yesterday, 20% oof the voters in WV said they would never vote for a black man for president. How underreported do you suppose that figure was? Or do you honestly think it "because I heard he's a muslim."

But, really, wouldn't you be the only person to know whether you're racist or not. The country? What do you think?

Democratic Primaries aside -- when we get to the big show, we've got a black man or a woman up against the traditional white grandfatherly presidential figure (give or take ten or twnety years) that Americans have become accustomed to. In a time of war, moreover. There's optimism and then there's ignorance.

Sooner or later we have to come to term with the fact that the "great Republican revolution" of the past 30 years has had just one toxic fuel. It's the reason a black man will never be elected president of this country, no matter how hopeful some of us feel at times this year. When push comes to shove, white people will vote their fears, which are so easy to exploit.
