Strange Bedfellows

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows (or at least they used to say that when people still used the term "bedfellows"). I've come to accept this as a basic fact of political life. But still, this is some really weird shit.

Esquire Magazine interviewed a number of avowed race supremacists about who they are supporting in the election. Incredibly, 3 of the 4 white supremacists are Pro-Obama! The reasons vary, but basically they think that Obama's election will cause white people to rise up and join them in their hatred of other races and there can finally be the Great Race War. I have to hand it to them, they don't judge a man sole on the color of his skin, but one how they can exploit the color of his skin to get everyone to hate others based on the color of their skin.

The fourth white supremacist is pretty boring, he's pro-McCain because Obama is a black.

But what's even more amazing than all these nutters is the final person interviewed, a Black Supremacist who is actually anti-Obama and Pro-McCain! He thinks Obama is a big Uncle Tom sellout who isn't really black, even going so far as to say that the day of Obama's nomination was "one of the saddest days in black history". I guess the hundreds of years of slavery and oppression were actually not so bad.

Of course, this could all be a big ruse. Yet again, South Park proves to be the best source of wisdom in our troubled times.
