They are the revanchist bastards who need to know their days are numbered. Please read some of my older posts about the use and abuse of "The South" in the American political imagination. <BR/><BR/>AnglachelAnglachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110546252851760414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-1496808013491806752008-11-13T19:56:00.000-08:002008-11-13T19:56:00.000-08:00Nice Far Side referenceNice Far Side referenceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-28823550407660735752008-11-13T08:58:00.000-08:002008-11-13T08:58:00.000-08:00"I want our African-American President-Elect to wa..."I want our African-American President-Elect to walk down in to heart of the Old South, take the stage, and show the hateful, authoritarian, revanchist bastards who have divided this nation since the moment of its founding...."<BR/><BR/>Wow! That's a pretty heavy indictment. It troubles me that hate speech is so readily accepted when it is directed at those of us who live in the South. <BR/><BR/>However, I agree with you that it's going to take Obama's presence to elect Martin -- to make sure that the voters who count turn out. I hope he takes this election seriously enough to lend a hand.<BR/><BR/>Writing from my plantation, deep in the heart of South Georgia, about 30 miles south of Chambliss' hometown -- otherwise known as "The Heart of Darkness."ElleRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717191919363618560noreply@blogger.com
