No, No Bias Here To See

Today is the day that Barack Obama will give his acceptance speech to become the official Democratic nominee for President of the United States. It is shaping up to be a grand affair, to be held at Inevsco Field. Many of the major news sources, and every right wing blogger, and the squawking heads of local radio, have reported that the stage is being set up to look like some kind of temple.

McCain, and the soulless shills like Charlie Sykes, have had a field day, mocking the so-called "temple."

No one as actually thought about it and realized that the "temple"


Actually resemble the Lincoln Memorial, where Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his famous "I have a dream" speech.

But somehow, I am not surprised that these people would not be able and/or willing to make the connection of Obama's run for the White House and racial equality. Equality is too foreign of a concept to them.

  2. Damn. Since I'm a conservative (right wing) blogger, I'd better get crackin'! I must be slipping into my dotage for forget to post on something so important to the future of our country. I mean, this beats Obama's big government by a mile...

  3. elliot, I don't know about it being weird.

    After all, there were similar columns in the background when George Dubbya accepted the GOP nomination in 2004.

  5. I don't know 'bout you, Elliot, but given that 45 years ago, King gave his speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial, and tonight the first black presidential candidate receives his party nomination, I think he has a right to celebrate the occassion. It is something that I can not fully understand, being white, but I can appreciate it.
