SNL takes on Palin, Clinton

... with great accuracy and tone

Daily Show looks at Palin and NeoCon Dialectic

Jon Stewart assails Neo-Con double talk, as they lose their place in value issues. This seems a brilliant piece of research as Daily Show team has culled recent footage to illustrate that you can't win an argument with these guys because they are literally out of their minds. They are arguing with themselves. Seems like classic paranoid behavior. But then, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you.

SY HERSH TALKS ABOUT US ACTIONS IN IRAN

Author Seymour Hersh talks about New Yorker article in which he outlines covert U.S. activity in Iran. Activity which stands to involve the nation in a deepening conflict with Iran. Let's keep in mind that this administration is attempting to further it's claims that Iran is a threat to American interests; while it is engaged in provocative and threatening activity of it's own. America's relationship history with Iran is rife with meddling, to the point of over-throwing previous governments.

Richardson Endorses Obama

Bill Richardson's endorsement of Obama, takes a prized super-delegate and former competitor off the table, as a potential ally for Clinton. It also introduces a potential political connection between Hispanics and Blacks. Why did this happen? One reason, Richardson points out, is that Obama has taken on the "race" issue headon. Another might be that Obama's analysis of race resonates for Hispanics. Could Hispanics' experience of race in America be similar to Blacks? Richardson thinks so. Question, are Blacks and Hispanics wholely responsible for the animus directed at them, by the larger society? Or could perhaps some portion of the anger directed at Whites be due to their attitudes and behavior recently, and historically?

MSNBC Talking Heads Talk Race

Chris Matthews (MSNBC, Hardball) addresses race in America, from the point of view of his life experience. Joe Scarborough has his moment to react. It's extremely interesting to see that the American media is as clueless on some issues as the rest of America. Therefore it should be increasing clear to all of good intention that an openness to dialogue must follow. As well as the discourse.

What Do You Think?

Race is on the table now. Obama didn't introduce it. In fact he has avoided it. Now he has put it on the table and addressed it directly.

What will be America's response?
