The Clinton supporters protesting outside the DNC meeting today, a few of whom apparently believe Obama is a murderer because some nut says it is so, a strange scene indeed, but not that rare in American politics ...
a universe in which one of the big lawn rally's speakers yells that the Democratic Party no longer is in the business of "promoting equality and fairness for all"; in which a Hillary supporter with two poodles shouts, "Howard Dean is a leftist freak!"; in which a man exhibits a sign that reads "At least slaves were counted as 3/5ths a Citizen" and shows Dean whipping handcuffed people; and in which Larry Sinclair, the Minnesota man who took to YouTube to allege that Barack Obama had oral sex with him in the back of a limousine in 1999, is one of the belles of the ball. t's easy to sink into despair here. Standing and watching all these Democrats chat up Sinclair- "Would you rather have a president who had an affair [Bill Clinton] or one who was a murderer [Obama]?" Inside the Marriott's gift shop, the sales clerk tells me that Democratic bumper stickers have been selling like crazy today. "Mostly Hillary?" I ask. "Actually, mostly Obama," she giggles.
