9. Maya Angelou.

Could you just listen to her all day? Whether it's her own work, or someone else's, I love hearing her voice.

Frederick Douglass

When it is finally ours, this freedom, this liberty, this beautiful
and terrible thing, needful to man as air,
usable as earth; when it belongs at last to all,
when it is truly instinct, brain matter, diastole, systole,
reflex action; when it is finally won; when it is more
than the gaudy mumbo jumbo of politicians:
this man, this Douglass, this former slave, this Negro
beaten to his knees, exiled, visioning a world
where none is lonely, none hunted, alien,
this man, superb in love and logic, this man
shall be remembered. Oh, not with statues' rhetoric,
not with legends and poems and wreaths of bronze alone,
but with the lives grown out of his life, the lives
fleshing his dream of the beautiful, needful thing.

10. I would not exactly call that speaking...

Why does he always sound like he's yelling and screaming at his audiences?
Like he's perpetually pissed, and you darkies better listen to what I have to say or I'll send you all to Darfur.

He is such a total, complete, unmitigated disaster of a human being.

He isn't fit to wipe the Big Dogs ass, I swear to you.

Stupid freaking monkey.

[malaise]

12. Obama on now n/t

[goclark]

15. Obama was eloquent

and got a huge round of applause!

Tavis Smiley said,in introducing him, " Maybe,,,,, just maybe...." and the crowd erupted.

[zbdent]

13. Any clips of Bush saying he'd love to "hang" MLK's portrait?

Or of the plaque honoring James Earl Ray?

Where's George Allen on this?
