Hey, if the ultra liberal Boston Globe says it, it must be true

LAST YEAR at the beginning of the presidential primary season, Democrats were giddy with excitement. Not only did we have an embarrassment of riches in our candidates but we had two historic candidacies to enjoy. Once and for all our country would show that racism and sexism were not part of our 21st-century DNA.

Here we are at the end of the primary season, and the effects of racism and sexism on the campaign have resulted in a split within the Democratic Party that will not be easy to heal before election day. Perhaps it’s because neither the Barack Obama campaign nor the media seem to understand what is at the heart of the anger on the part of women who feel that Hillary Clinton was treated unfairly because she is a woman or what is fueling the concern of Reagan Democrats for whom sexism isn’t an issue, but reverse racism is.

Gee, I thought it was the Republicans who the racists and sexists. Of course, we are usually called that because a. we believe in equality under the law and b. The Democrats usually resort to name calling because they have no better argument. Or throwing food. They like doing that, though their aim is typically that of a 3 year old.
