A spirited discussion about Tavis Smiley's haterism prompted this question..
Sure.
I've just never seen a thoughful critique that holds up against the alternate choice of the erratic, deeply partisan and ridiculously managed McCain campaign. Let's be clear. McCain's abandonment of his principles has left him a torture survivor who voted AGAINST the anti-torture bill. McCain is a veteran who couldn't bring himself to vote on the GI Bill DESPITE his persistent use of his service and the current Iraq soldiers as campaign props.
McCain claims Obama lacks "executive experience" (pot, meet kettle) and shores up that argument by adding a mayor of a town that's smaller than some of Obama's phone banks. Palin's next gig was Governor, but she's spent so much of her time commuting between home and office (while accepting per diems) and jetting around with her family, one scarcely has information to measure her performance.
Barack Obama has managed a $600-million, 2-year, 49-state, WINNING campaign with millions of paid staff and dedicated volunteers. I assert that his experience on an endeavor of this scale trumps Caribou Barbie.
McCain's campaign of desperation REEKS of disingenuous attacks, wavering stances on issues, wildly impetuous choices and pathetically poor judgment. The real question is "What could possibly make Obama so BAD for America that electing twitchy dilettante McCain is BETTER for our country?"
Give me a Black person who can make the case AGAINST Obama as cogently as Gen. Colin Powell made the case FOR Obama and we'd have something to talk about.
Can any Black people dislike Obama's policies, Obama himself, or his actions and NOT be a "hater"?
Sure.
