Prosecuting the guilty is part of the healing process.

I think that SF is suggesting that people here at Oliver Willis's blog don't have actual opinions and only spout talking points. And since two people on this site have differing priorities, one wanting to heal the nation and the other wanting to prosecute war criminals (and the two are not mutually exclusive, btw), that they must have gotten said talking points mixed up. Like most wingnut attempts at humor, it was lame. “I don’t follow you.”

I don’t follow you.

Every person with any shred of conscience should be seeking to see the Bush Administration and all of its descendants completely repudiated, if not indicted and prosecuted.

Looks like ya’ll got the talking points mixed up again…

I am confident that you will be. I also hope overall turnout is the highest ever. I can't believe we somehow managed to allow this race to even be as close as it has been. Every person with any shred of conscience should be seeking to see the Bush Administration and all of its descendants completely repudiated, if not indicted and prosecuted. I hope that Obama can help to begin to deliver all of the justice that this country, so many in this country, and the entire world, for that matter, have been lacking for so long. And I hope that we can actually get the man into the office, come January 20. I hope you are right. I am confident that you will be.

I want to see records shattered and I really, really, really do not want to see the election hinge on the vaporous "Youth Vote" that opted to do something else on election in 2004. I am looking forward to celebrating Obama's inauguration and to the start of the healing of our nation. This election isn't about the lesser of two evils, this is about choosing a man with a vision and a plan to put us back on the right track and out of the pit of darkness that has been the Dubya years.

I am happy to see this happen. I hope that this election will be the first big step to end racial inequality and start the road to a tolerant society. I have seen the fear my AA friend has felt when we were on the road. Ken is a great guy and we were playing in the middle of the woods Maine and he was truly frightened for his life. It is time to stop the intolerance. I believe that the African-American turnout will be tremendous. I am happy to see this happen.

Whats missing is the fact that these people are not voting for a "Black" man but they are vetoing for a "Black" man that is the best man for the job. In the history of this country there have been, I'm sure, more than a few black people that are and were better qualified for positions they didn't bother to try for based on their race. It is not just a historic time in history because we have a black man running for POTUS. (I think that happened first in the early 70's, if I'm not mistaken.)But he has a chance (100% unless rethugs cheat AGAIN) to win, he is also the best in the field. For those reasons this moment in history are things that drive a lot of our elders to tears with feelings of happiness and validation of the things they have gone through.

I'm getting choked up almost every time I visit, it's embarrassing. I'm much more comfortable with outrage and scorn. Oliver, you’ve got to stop tagging these stores and photos.
