[Peace-discuss] Paul Street on Obama's 1st 11 months

[Brussel Morton K.]

Speaking of many establishment liberals' obedience to The Re-Branding One, John Pilger wrote last fall about "the call of Obama" to certain "people of liberal sensibilities... It is not unlike a dog whistle," Pilger noted,  "inaudible to most, irresistible to the besotted and boneheaded."  As an emblematic early example, Pilger quoted a comment from the noted liberal Hollywoodsuperstar George Clooney, who said the following on the Charlie Rose Show in December of 2006: "He walks into a room and you want to follow him somewhere, anywhere."

At last Saturday's antiwar demonstration in Washington DC, the former presidential candidate Mike Gravell told activists not to shirk from sounding "personal" in their criticism of Obama. "Killing is personal," Senator Gravell added.   

Indeed - ask the survivors in Bola Boluk.
