The fellow at the Washington Post who isn't the ombudsman is shocked, shocked! to report that when someone writes about President Obama it draws partisan comments from the commentariat. Who knew?

Quote:
E.J. Dionne Jr.’s column Monday analyzed Barack Obama, his presidency and his ideology, and it stoked a partisan and occasionally unseemly battle among our Readers Who Comment. Many of them focused on Dionne’s statement that, “[a]s the first African American in the White House, he has won an unprecedented level of support among black Americans and the goodwill of enough white Americans to build a national majority. Yet it’s undeniable that racism lurks beneath so many of the preposterously false charges against him.”

A number of the comments can be described only as racist, while others reflected partisan political positions on the subjects that occupy much American thought these days.
