Barack has a bad habit of taking a mental nap when he has a lead. I know his intentions were to paint a realistic picture of the plight of midwestern industry, but take a cue from John McCain who lost the Michigan primary…the truth can hurt and so can losing a political campaign.

I wasn’t surprised when, after Dave Weigel mentioned seeing Ron Paul signs all over Pennsylvania in the lead-up to the primary, Jamie Kirchick immediately commented on the number of white supremacists in the state. It doesn’t surprise me that Jamie continues to slander the dedicated “lumpenlibertariat” of Ron Paul supporters by writing them all off as bigots, but I was shocked that not one of the other panelists took the slightest offense at this and that Dave Weigel intead wise-cracked that the white supremacists were splitting their vote between Paul and Clinton.
You don’t have to be a fan of Dr. Paul to recognize how grossly unfair this is to the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have supported Paul’s unprecedentedly libertarian campaign. Shame on all of you. Silly me for thinking that AFF was supposed to be in any way a libertarian organization.
I look forward to hearing more from Mr. Kichick about how anyone who doesn’t agree with his neo-conservative, openly militarist and imperialist pseudo-libertarian agenda is a bigot.
