Handle with extreme care: The niece of the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., is among a group of pro-life black leaders calling for an end to federal funding for Planned Parenthood because of what she calls Planned Parenthood’s “racist agenda.” “Planned Parenthood is definitely a racist organization – they have a racist agenda,” Dr. Alveda King told Cybercast News Service. Here is the full article.  Read the comments at

Waaaaaah! [Dan Collins]
Stupid debates. Why do we have to have stupid debates? Video of this disgusting performance. Man up, Obama. Cuffy Meigs has the best round-up of the Woebamasphere. Here’s a suggestion: how about you stop giving us two-faced lying jackasses as candidates? More it is time for you to stop all of your sobbing, from Rachel Lucas. No good deed goes unpunished.
Another Notable Debate Freak-Out [Dan Collins; UPDATED, with verified Jeff G sighting]
At the HuffPo, Jeffrey Feldman entitles his bad acid diary entry, “Et Tu, ABC?” This casts Obama as Julius Caesar, and ABC as Brutus, which is psychologically interesting in and of itself, as Brutus was the “republican” who killed Caesar in order to thwart what he felt was his ambition to become Rome’s autocrat. Perhaps Feldman dislikes Brutus because of the association with the word, “republican”? No, I’m reading too much into it.

Dems 2008: Debate critics discount character [Karl]
Those whining about the ABC News Democratic debate tend to focus on the first half of the debate. WaPo TV critic Tom Shales writes: When Barack Obama met Hillary Clinton for another televised Democratic candidates’ debate last night, it was more than a step forward in the 2008 presidential election.

The jury also convicted her of conspiracy to murder for financial gain counts in both killings. Co-defendant Olga Rutterschmidt, 75, was convicted of conspiracy to murder McDavid for financial gain as the judge decided to take five initial verdicts. I’m against the death penalty. Mostly.

Debate '08: Sullivan vs. Sullivan [Karl]
Still foaming over the ABC News “Freak Show” Democratic debate in Philly, Excitable Andy repeats the obvious: “No questions on the environment, none on terror, none on interrogation, none on torture, none on education, none on spending, none on healthcare, none on Iran … but four separate questions in the first hour about a lapel-pin, Bitter-gate, Wright-gate and Ayers. I’m all for keeping candidates on their toes. But this was ridiculous.
