The suggestion was made to throw Pfleger under the axle. That means throwing a segment of the black community under the axle with him.

It absolutely does not mean that. If you had asked me for clarification before going down that road, I would have told you and saved you some straw.

Hang on a sec. The original quote was 'The truth is we need Senator Barack Obama and we need Reverend Jeremiah Wright and, if we are serious about wanting a new America, we cannot afford to throw either one of them under the bus!' Message 24634846

You agreed, and in response to disagreement went on to say:

you can't put all the black folks, or the people who agree with them, under the axles.http://siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=24635070

That is a straw man if ever I saw one.

People like Geoffrey Canada.
