Over on the Group News Blog, Lower Manhattanite, has a brilliant post comparing current dust ups between Hill and Bama with a historical relationship between Fredrick Douglas and Susan B Anthony... it is brilliant and deserves wide circulation and thought.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, whatever their "differences", are being actively set against each other here in '07 by forces that very much need ...their relative positives and powers stripped away from the Democratic field. Attractive things like Obama's fire, and his injection of excitement and new life into the staid "yawn" that is the "optics" of what we've come to know as a real candidate these days. And other things like Hillary's seasoning and gravitas, as well as her solid "name branding" and unique "optics" as a candidate as well. For all of their wedded-ness to certain elements of the status quo, they represent something new, challenging and in the heart of hearts of the descendants of those shit-stirrers of the mid 1800s, arma-fucking-geddon.
His analysis is brilliant and the historical perspective is crucial. I would love to hear what you all think about it. And would love it more if we could take a breath and realize that the MSM is manipulating all of us playing up the fights between Hill and Obama.
