CNN WTF

[gfish]

This is the current top story on CNN:



They had a halfway normal pic of Wright up earlier. I guess it didn't convey 'scary black preacher' well enough. Have they stopped even pretending to be impartial? They might as well photoshop in a glowing force-ghost of Malcom X at this point.

While I do think the Dems need to just drop the whole gun control issue and ignore it forever more (for tactical reasons), I refuse to fall for that one-wedge-issue kind of politics.

There are things I'm a lot more worried about frankly. And there is not the political will to pass such a ban, regardless of who is president.

The Republicans (and the extremist wing of them that is now in charge) have managed to leverage those wedge issues (is that a mixed metaphor?) to divide and conquer--e.g., guns, abortion, Israel. The dems need to keep from getting baited into talking about those issues.

Seriously, is Obama's views on one peripheral issue, gun control, worth letting the right-wing reactionaries drive this country into the ground and take away all our civil liberties? Nope.
