That's right, call it out for what it is.

You know, one of the posts I was going to do this week had a draft title of "Naïve is the New N-Word."

(Based on any number of frothingly racist posts and commentaries seen, to my great horror, in the feminist blogosphere of late.)

Then I was like, "No, let's aim for something a little more conciliatory," and instead I posted something called "Heat vs. Light" (I'd post a link if I weren't too tired to figure out your weblinks protocol, but anyway, it's the top post on my blog.)

Going negative (and racist, and flat out lying) works, as Clinton has shown us tonight.

I still don't want to reciprocate that nastiness (though I have been posting very regularly about the anti-Obama bias and the specific racism seen thus far in this election), because Obama and his supporters are SUPPOSED TO BE ABOVE ALL THAT.

But I'm still incredibly angry tonight. Just furious.

P.S. FWIW, I did post this to Twitter earlier tonight:

"HRC Motto: 'Winning Ohio by Scaring Old and Poor People!' (& by presenting debunked story as AP wire truth). Way to keep it classy, Hillary."

What are we doing in Iraq? Saddam is dead, we found no weapons of mass destruction, and we know that Iraq didn’t attack us — we need to get out.


— Steve Harrison, Democratic Candidate for Congress
