What's At Stake

Yesterday's endorsement of Sen. Obama by Gen. Colin Powell had a story about a Muslim American serviceman who died in Iraq. It's instructive that it took a retired four-star Army General and former Secretary of State to note that our country's military is made up of a diverse group, and that demonizing Muslim-Americans for political gain is a loser in the long run. His endorsement was more about the failure of the McAngry campaign to stop the virulent negative attacks against Obama for somehow being "different" than the majority. In fact, the McAngry campaign is encouraging the despicable theme, because, you know, "Country First."
