Maher -- Tavis eloquent on MLK and Wright

Tavis Smiley beautifully illustrated the link between Wright's sermons and MLK's anti-war 1967 speeches, where he said,among other things, that the US was the world's greatest "purveyor of violence."  Tavis linked this to the true definition of a "patriot," as someone willing to rebuke his country.

But -- Tavis continued the disturbing tendency of saying "You can't beat McCain on experience" -- and Robin Wright, otherwise quite good on Iraq, bought the "McCain's speech showed differentiation from Bush."

People like Smiley have to starting saying, "McCain may have longevity, but that doesn't equate to good experience.  Any "experience" that made him support the greatest disaster in US foreing policy is worthless.

Dan Savage added some good comments and a good bit about the "what if Obama/Hillary loses" issue with CA voters.
