Has anyone seen any mention of the Obama's campaigns racist treatment of two muslim women on any of the liberal American blogs, any of the anti-racist activist blogs, anything like that? Apparently it wasn't politically correct (ah, an accurate way to use that term!) to have two women in hijabs (the headscarf, not the niqab, the face covering) in the background of a campaign speech, so he had them moved out of shot.
Because at the moment the only coverage I've seen has been LGF, reproducing the argument for political point-scoring purposes.
Does Obama gets a pass on this shit, because, despite all the evidence to his reactionary politics, his support for imperialist foreign policy, his domestic agenda, his lack of any left-wing policy of note (but he opposes the war! you fucking wait), he's still being pushed as some kind of progressive martyr?
