Jul 2013

is what I like to consider the Left's equivalent of a RWNJ. Every time I hear from him, he has nothing positive to say about Obama despite his many accomplishments. In fact, he seems to go after him more than he does Republicans. For instance, where was his outcry over Trayvon's name being dragged in the mud in the RW media, and regarding Republicans trying to wipe out voting rights? I never hear him speak on how Republicans have been blocking things in D.C. and preserving our vast wealth inequality. He is about as useful for Black people (and the Progressive Movement, in general) as an empty glass of water in a desert. Same thing applies to his buddy Cornel West.
