Attorney General Eric Holder recently compared the United States to a “nation of cowards” regarding race relations and race issues. His observations are correct, and his statement comes after outcries over a cartoon by Sean Delonas that was published in the New York Post (you can see more of Sean Delonas’s classy caricatures here).

Growing up in the south, there is no doubt that the impacts of racism and segregation still exist, as there is no doubt that racism still exists, and it isn’t difficult to find. Likewise, the treatment of other minority groups such as gays and lesbians in this country is unconscionable.

Matt Drudge is calling Obama’s warning for Republicans not to listen to Rush Limbaugh’s empty rhetoric a “Media War.” When did Rush Limbaugh become part of the media? Of course, such an assertion is to admit the existence of the Bush Administration’s and the Republican’s attempts to control the media—not to mention corporate efforts to homogenize the media.

I recognize the need for bipartisanship, but my problem with some Republicans are their attempts to sabotage almost everything politically, ignore the facts and reality, promote divisiveness and culture war, in addition to being total hypocrites.

President Obama is absolutely correct to call out Rush Limbaugh, especially after Limbaugh recently expressed his hope for the Obama Administration to fail by saying, “I want him to fail” to Sean Hannity of FOX News. Personally, I disagreed with the Bush Administration’s policies on Iraq, but I never wished for the Administration’s policies to fail.
