. . . But I Will Defend Your Right to Say It

So all of you folks who feel that Hillary should have won the Democratic nomination and are voting for McCain out of spite (and to give Hillary a shot for 2012), and all of you folks who are upset with Obama for selecting Joe Biden to be his running mate because of that stupid remark he made about a "clean and articulate" African-American candidate and are considering sitting out the election, or all you folks who supported John Edwards first and then John McCain, whose views couldn't be further apart, simply because they're white males who fit your idea of what a President should look like, please don't take offense when I say you're all assholes.

Hillary lost fair and square. Joe Biden seems to be a basically decent person who has some silly ideas about people from a culture he knows little about (I'll go out on a limb and say that this is not an unusual circumstance; many of us know painfully little about other cultures beyond the abounding stereotypes). Finally, things have changed where control of our country should not be limited to white men.

Get over it.
