Tom Hayden, 60's lefty radical, Marxist, thinks Obama is the one they've been waiting for to make all their old dreams new again. Sort of like being endorsed by death himself.
In same vein - lefty blog I was kicked off of for being too insensitive ran some anti-war drivel from Twain on Memorial Day. I commandeered the computer at work so I could sneak on their comments page and muse: it's 1588, the Armada is on its way, who do you want on the throne: Elizabeth with cunning bastard Walsingham at her side - or Edmund Spenser? Lefties didn't seem to get the point of the question. Some, wearing proudly the mantle of idiocy common to their ilk, actually tried to define what a sensitive, thoughtful man like Spenser would bring to the executive office. One clever whelp nominated Marlowe over Sir Edmund - had to allow that that indeed might have been interesting to see.
