The elephant in the room

September 18, 2008 01:00

A post by Isaac Bickerstaff on my friend Robert George's blog has an arresting thought on his blog:

What would the blogs and media say if Michelle Obama had stolen drugs from her charity and made her employees write fake prescriptions?

What would we be talking about if an Obama child was pregnant while still in High School? Where would the Conservative Family Groups be on that issue? What would the reaction be if the 17 your old male was a black kid with low slung jeans who listened to Young Jeezy instead of a gun toting, self professed "F*#*ing Redneck"? These are interesting questions to think about. Will views on race tilt this election to John McCain?

UPDATE: Apologies for attributing the post to Robert by mistake.
