I know he is not an objective critic, the first time I had posted his article a couple of days ago I said I did not care for him, but even then..
this article is one among a flood of recent articles questioning BO. Krauthammer is someone who will lay out the whole argument as against BO as it will be seen in Fall. It is harder defending against such arguments than the arguments we see against HRC (sniper fire etc).
If a candidate is elected in spite of major flaws, it will seem more and more transparent as time goes on that he has just been pushed in there by the 90%+ black vote, and then the division will be racial. If BO is denied due to his own associations with Wright, Ayers etc..there will no doubt be riots but people will understand in the long run.
I was listening to a radio program (black host) where he was trying to convince a black lady caller that she should stick to the party (Dems) even if BO is not the nominee. She wanted to stay home if BO was not the nominee. Host said staying home is a vote for McC, and said McC was way worse than HRC. Lady said "I just dont know..it will take a lot of convincing for me to go out and vote".
So basically I think things will be OK if HRC is the candidate, though a fraction of the black vote will be lost.
Many black people are having second thoughts about BO. So the die hard black obama voters will see that some --maybe 20%-- in their own community voted HRC over BO, and there will not be much more than temporary tempers..
I don't think Islamic brotherhood has a chance here...if the pulling down is done by Krauthammer only..yes; but since the pulling down will be by the public including some blacks--no.
IMO.
