I've been saying in comments that I believe Obama is the real deal because I see the themes in his presidential campaign as consistent with those he has expressed and lived throughout his adult life. I see that when I...more »

I am a lawyer, and I'm with Obama on this stuff, but as far as irritation none of that stuff here can compare to what I see elsewhere on the Web. I've recently responded to a poster on another website that (1) on one thread made xenophobic remarks about the Sikh-AMERICAN who sued Disney on First Amendment free exercise grounds about his need to wear his turban on the job at Disney World, and (2) on another thread said he thinks ANY law which in any way restricts his right to carry around his firearm violates his Second Amendment rights (I pointed out to him that even Scalia doesn't believe that).

So he's discounting the huge percentage of additional donors which Obama has, and minimizing what percent of McCain's donors come from various groups. And of course he offers no analysis of where McCain's dollars come from.
