I have been so tremendously annoyed with the media (Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, those people) previously having annointed Hillary Clinton as "the Democratic Nominee"... nothing could change their minds.
ANd now that Obama has a better chance, they're talking about him like he's a Muslim terrorist when Reverend Wright (whom I don't agree with) is Christian, etc.
and there is infighting among the supporters of both, and the whole process is pissing me off so badly i'm half tempted to write in "Mickey Mouse" in November.
My first suspicion would be 'islamofascist terrorist'. After all, he *is* Muslim and he *did* attend a Madrassa, and his name *is* Hussein and sounds a lot like 'Osama'.

You've got to be a little more subtle with racism than with sexism these days, but not a whole lot.
