Obama Gets the Clinton Treatment

Nothing really new here, but the point is fairly well-put: why invoke race to explain anti-Obama hysteria when Clinton (and Gore) got basically the same treatment? (And, er, someone around here has been making this point repeatedly...)

Sure, race is a factor in all this, but it's not most of the cause, and it's not half of the cause.

Some other type of crazy is loose upon the land.

Blaming race for most of it is not only erroneous, it plays right into the hands of conservatives, who will play the "playing the race card" card in response.
