‘Cept when your man is being crushed in middle America and thus wants to spin himself into the White House:
Two Muslim women at Barack Obama’s rally in Detroit on Monday were barred from sitting behind the podium by campaign volunteers seeking to prevent the women’s headscarves from appearing in photographs or on television with the candidate.
The campaign has apologized to the women, both Obama supporters who said they felt betrayed by their treatment at the rally.
“This is of course not the policy of the campaign. It is offensive and counter to Obama’s commitment to bring Americans together and simply not the kind of campaign we run,” said Obama spokesman Bill Burton. “We sincerely apologize for the behavior of these volunteers.”
This is not at all new - waaay back in the 60’s, when the anti-war demonstrations came around, the left and the MSM were very careful not to allow any of the commie flags are horrific commie propaganda to show up on TV. Back in the 80’s whenever they wanted to work up an anti-American demonstration, they always made sure that they had a mom or two with a baby carriage to lead the way, so that the MSM could get a nice shot of that, rather than the raving, leftwing lunatics bringing up the rear. Today, however, is the day of the internet, YouTube and the blogosphere - can’t pull this sort or nonsense and get away with it.
While the truth is out there and all the truth is eating away at the Obama fantasy like acid, I do still wonder if the basic, starry-eyed, half-educated liberal out there will ever star to realise that they’ve been taken for a ride by a corrupt, cynical party of power-mad cretins?

We seem to be having a bit of fun with this one, so lets have at it some more.
And still having fun with it…
Thank you, liberalism, for making this possible:
Two primary schools have withdrawn storybooks about same-sex relationships after objections from Muslim parents.
Up to 90 gathered at the schools to complain about the books which are aimed at pupils as young as five.
One story, titled King & King, is a fairytale about a prince who turns down three princesses before marrying one of their brothers.
Another named And Tango Makes Three features two male penguins who fall in love at a New York zoo.
Bristol City Council said the two schools had been using the books to ensure they complied with gay rights laws which came into force last April.
They were intended to help prevent homophobic bullying, it said.
But the council has since removed the books from Easton Primary School and Bannerman Road Community School, both in Bristol.
A book and DVD titled That’s a Family!, which teaches children about different family set-ups including gay or lesbian parents, has also been withdrawn.
The decision was made to enable the schools to “operate safely” after parents voiced their concerns at meetings.
What to do, what to do? Just how will our liberals square this circle? They must accord special rights to the Moslem minority, but they also need to accord special rights to the gay minority - and as the Moslem minority has a subset bent on beheading the gay minority, just how are we to “all get along”? Will more welfare make everyone play nice? Perhaps Obama can head over there and organize the Gay and Moslem communities into a loving fellowship?
Conservatives have no problem with this - we hit the gay rights people over the head with a two by four as a means of emphasising the point that you don’t teach five year olds about homosexuality; we then re-employ that same two by four on the Moslems who pitched a fit as a means of hammering home (as it were) the need to respect freedom of speech in the West. As conservatives, we find endless uses for the “two by four” debate method - though we find at times that only high explosives can solve the really tricky problems (al Qaeda, Berkeley, eg).
I don’t suppose that this impass with convince liberals that, you know, justice should be the goal? That, just perhaps, people should be treated as people and not as “gay”, “black”, “female”, “Moslem”, etc?
