Breaking News: Obama attacks Dr. King!

Oh, not directly, of course. The Washington Times reports on the Illinois Senator's controversial remark made to GOP TV on November 7,2007:

"I think there is no doubt that we represent the kind of change that Senator Clinton can't deliver on, and part of it is generational," Mr. Obama told Fox News yesterday about the difference between himself and Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York. "I mean, Senator Clinton and others, they've been fighting some of the same fights since the '60s, and it makes it very difficult for them to bring the country together to get things done."


Those silly, trivial fights of the '60s. The dangers of nuclear proliferation. Women's rights. Civil rights. Making "it very difficult... to bring the country together," Senator Obama argues.

Obama might do better to hear, and understand, the words of Tom Brokaw, who noted "that Barack Obama is able to run for President of the United States in large part because of the 1960's."
