On Bigotry

Cannonfire: "...Many pundits will blame racism. The R word is already being heard throughout progland. But...wait a minute! Was not Barack Obama ahead for a while? I guess people were less racist then. At some point during the past week, the earth must have drifted into a cosmic cloud of bigotry. Similarly, I was considered a non-racist when I supported Obama in the primary and when I voted for Jackson in '88. I became 'racist' only when I turned against the Lightbringer..."

As I've said before, I voted for Shirley Chisholm way back when. So what does that me? ("Idiot" is not the answer.)
