Last night, Michael Savage was on about his usual hindbrain ravings, when lo and behold he said, "we need to step up the racist propaganda and images of arabs so that we can better crystallize our hatred and more effectively kill these enemies of our freedom...just like during WWII"
So today, when I received the link to this strong article in my inbox, I was primed to pass it along for your consideration and comment. Primary payload excerpted below;
"Racism – at home and abroad – is a central element of the Republican "moral values" and strategy. And racism is conciliated if not actively promoted by the Democratic focus on winning more white voters by moving to the right while taking voters of color virtually for granted..........This is not just rhetoric. The future of our country and the well-being of the world depend on us. We cannot stop the right's incessant drive to dominate the world's resources and to steamroll all opposition to that program unless we pose a clear alternative. A powerful vision of peace, jobs and justice is our only chance to mobilize the democratic sentiments and courage of all the people of our country."
