This is the word to describe those of us facing off against an America that has lost its mind and its soul. What we are witnessing from Ferraro's refusal to enter the 20th century-century (let alone the 21st) to this week's frothing lunacy from the extreme right to the vulgar cannibalism in the political center and even part of the Democratic Party is a testimony to a very simple fact. It's not that America IS racist--that is obvious--it is that America refuses to even contemplate its addiction to racism.

This is a proposition to any and all video artists out there in the Kos community.

With the repeated airplay of Rev. Wright's enthusiastic sermons, it is now time for a Greenwald/Fox Attacks! style video that puts together a greatest hits of Rabid Rightwing Christian Fundamentalist Lunatic vitriol. Fox has already been superimposing Hitler's voice and Obama's. But now we have Rev. Wright being pilloried for preaching what is in essence a liberal and activist Christian theology that also happens to be closely linked to the American Civil Rights Movement. If we can actually pry ourselves away from the issue of race for a moment, we might also see that what is being pilloried in the traditional media (and dominant parts of the liberal blogosphere) is a left-leaning activist Christian worldview.

Gore having been my personal pick for the nominee this year, this diary is meant as a question to those here who were active in the movement to encourage him to run. We were most disappointed, but probably not surprised that he declined to enter the race. Given that he has no enduring love for the Clintons--Hillary perhaps having been Bill's heir apparent all along--I would think that Gore would enter the current fray with an endorsement for Obama or Edwards, though probably Obama. It would make sense for him to back the winner this year unlike 2004, so if Obama is close, I could imagine Gore working to push him over the edge. Obama has been depositing Gore-friendly language in his speeches and debates, though Obama (like Edwards and Clinton) ultimately needs to be much stronger on climate change.

Like many readers here and throughout most of the political world, I was shocked by the way my own expectations, manufactured by the polls, the blogosphere, the punditocracy, and (honestly) my own hopes, were dashed tonight with Clinton's remarkable victory. Clinton appears to have made something happen in New Hampshire, but I must say that I will be very troubled if it can be determined that her too-publicized tear was the catalyst for her surmounting the polls' tolling her demise. The misogyny of the Chris Matthews of the punditocracy is not a firm foundation for continued victory in a tight race. And now, there will be no more tears; whether genuine or not, that card has been played.
