[Peace-discuss] Protest Karl Rove/Health Care for All/End the Wars:Sat, March 20, 2010

[C. G. Estabrook]

Actually, when Obama did come to town in 2005 and some of us pointed out that he 
was not what he seemed in regard to the war, it caused a split in the local 
anti-war movement: we were charged with being "rude to a senator," and it was 
memorably asserted that "you can't treat a black politician the way you treat a 
white politician."

What's really being said - and not said - in a political demonstration has some 
importance.
