It was really incredible to watch it happen in real time. By and large, as I recall, everyone was sick of the GOP/Bush war machine. Didn't seem to matter which 'side' of the traditional left/right divide, everyone was sick of the BS.. a real "Anti-War" movement...
Then Obama was elected, and 1/2 of that movement suddenly turned and claimed the only reason why people were against the wars/things was because Obama was black...
That's true. You're right. Racism was their one word infallible defense strategy. It's finally wearing off.
