"Is Obama a Closet Conehead?"

I can't help it. It's so absurdly appropriate in several ways regarding a local psuedo intellectual phenonenom.

The headline was so ironically funny that I HAD to post the story.

Noteworthy:

"Finally, there is the president's arrogance, which many have noted before me. That his excessive pride is partially racial is most apparent in his refusal to publically apologize to the Cambridge Police, and, in particular, the white officer who arrested his black friend, Prof. ‘Skip' Gates. An apology for explicitly assuming, on national TV, that the police had "acted stupidly," and for linking the arrest to racial profiling, would clearly have diffused a situation that was distracting the American public from his crucial campaign on health care reform. Yet he declined. One has to wonder why.

Is Obama a closet Conehead? I'll let you decide. But you would be foolish to merely take his word for it. After all, Cone has encouraged the followers of Black Liberation Theology to lie about their mission, if necessary.

'What we need is the divine love as expressed in black power,' he said, 'which is the power of blacks to destroy their oppressors, here and now, by any means at their disposal.'

Any means. And that includes deception, one of Obama's favorite weapons."

And one of Cone's and the Coneheads here locally.

But we knew that already, didn't we?
