West is a barely articulate saliva-spraying racist who has been AA'd to prominence. He's never going to vote anything but the straight black race reparations ticket. His complaints are solely aimed at urging Obama to squeeze a few more drops out of Whitey.

He's never going to vote anything but the straight black race reparations ticket.

Likely so...but the more he ramps up the criticism the less likely the lazy, apathetic, Obama-voters are likely to make the effort to go to the polling place...and there are plenty of them.

Cornel West has all the racial sensitivity of a white KKK member running for president of the White Citizens Council. Cornel's biggest backers are fellow liberal elites - the kind who put on baseball caps and act like they're speaking for the working class... Obama's right on this one. He doesn't need West and his extreme elitists.
