As most of you know Randi Rhodes  the progressive talker was recently suspended by Air America Radio for remarks that she made about Geraldine Ferraro and sen Clinton.  

She will not be returning to AAR. Instead,today Green 960 took on the cause and is one of the latest champions of free speech.  

Below is the video of the Green 960 announcement and the entire video of her remarks.

Tomorrow Obama is scheduled to give a huge speech on race and gender in America. I am certain his speech will be huge and it is widely anticipated.

Obama's speech is anticipated as being a game changer.

Below you will find a speech that I wrote for him.

I am sure his will be ten times better than mine

Indulge me if you will

Take the jump

Over the course of this historic presidential competition the issue of race has been thrust to the forefront and several occasions. Race has never really been dealt with and always seem to be a highly sensitive and contentious subject matter.

As an African-American, black, negro what ever label one cares to accept I say we should have an honest discussion

And share what it means to all of us.

Please indulge me and stroll over the hump to an honest social discourse on race.

The current primary season has left me beat up.

I am tired.

I am tired of the in fighting, bickering, spin, lies, punches, and counter-punches.

I am tired of the polls.

I am tired of the anticipation.

Walk with me if you will over the jump.  

The time has finally come. We are on the brink of purging our hallowed Democratic party.

The journey has been long and hard fought.

Follow me through the recent history of our party and why we are now near the point of purification.

As all of you know tommorow is Potomac Tuesday. Some polls indicate that Sen Obama will do well in all three contests.

In fact rasmussen reports:

Maryland: Obama 57% Clinton 31%
Virginia: Obama 55% Clinton 37%

The aformentioned polls do not mean that we can be complacent. Sen Obama has not won any thing yet. Somenone wrote a diary about we as supporters acting like Obama was 30 points down--I can't find it but it was great.

We have to remain hungry.

I have just had one of the best experiences of my life. I was at the Obama for America HQ located in Chicago. I volunteer there on a regular basis and it is always a good experience.

But today..

I am an Obama supporter.

I do not like the perception that we as Obama supporters seem to exude on DKOS. I am fairly new and I have read many comments from other Kossacks that would suggest that we are insensitive to the supporters of other candidates.

That is not what being an Obama supporter is about.

If you are an Obama supporter and you are engaging in negative support and destructive discourse:  please stop!

You are hurting our candidate.

This is my first diary and I did not want to write a candidate hit diary or a love fest. So I decided to write something that could perhaps inspire intellectual thought and meaningful discourse.

So here we go...

Ideology has a rich and troubled past. The word first emerged during the French Revolution as idéologie, introduced by  A.-L.-C. Destutt de Tracy, which he coined his science of ideas.

The science of ideas was a science with a mission; it aimed at serving men, even saving them, by ridding their minds of prejudice and preparing them for the sovereignty of reason (Cranston)

The initial question I will attempt to answer is how the original definition and the good will behind ideology has become corrupted and perverted over time. Secondly, what are the the characteristics of a modern ideologue. And how can the ideologue reconcile its set of ideas (be they narrow or broad) and its collective behavior to perfecting the greater good with natural antagonists.
