    "There is that remarkable primary debate with Hillary (Clinton) and (John) Edwards, where a reporter asked the three of them who would Martin Luther King support on this day, and Hillary and Edwards responded by convincing the audience why King would have supported them. And Obama responded by saying King would not have supported anybody, that King would have organized his movement to push the winning candidate to pursue the objectives. Well, that's the real question now in the U.S. today."

    -Mahmood Mamdani, professor of government and anthropology at Columbia University

    Apparently, Dr. King was a realist. Maybe the third-party cheerleaders would benefit by taking some of his wisdom to heart.

    Given that "they" killed MLK (unless you disbelieve his entire family, and the 12 jurors who ruled so in their '99 lawsuit) ... and alternately that "they" put Obama in the Oval Office ...

    Do you not register some sort of disconnect between reality, and the fantasy world where Obama is a man of the people?

    You said King was a "realist", so i'm just asking.
    As a realist, wouldn't it behoove you to acknowledge that real revolutionaries end up with a bullet in the brain, and not in the White House?
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    This time will be different. All those revolutionaries died of natural causes....and besides...it's all conspiracy.

    It's tinfoil hat crazy to think otherwise. This time is different. It's not just a phenomenon It's an Obam-enon!

    :eek:
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Love is the strangest thing that I know,
    You keep it around by letting it go,
    And you follow close and you follow slow,
    And love will take you where love wants to go.
