Last night I attended the NAACP-Providence Annual Awards Banquet.
Not once during an evening in which Obama's candidacy was wildly celebrated (this from officials of an organization mandated by law to be politically non-partisan) and the NAACP's legal might continually referenced did I hear one word about the presidential election thefts of 2000 and 2004, the potential for history to repeat itself in 2008, or what this venerable, powerful civil rights institution plans to do should Obama be denied victory by the thieves.
All we got was mindless cheerleading.
Realpolitik, Lewis Carroll style.
