"Think about the "Dresden Jews" for a sec..." That's way too nice, Z. "Redskins" wasn't conceived for that. More accurate would be the Auschwitz Kikes or the Dachau Heebs.

Z, you still haven't convinced me that this is more than a matter of offending someone. If it's about genocide, then yes, I'm against genocide; yes, I believe the white man has broken almost every treaty made with Native Americans; yes, I believe today's Natives got a bum deal. Doesn't mean the name "Washington Redskins" is racist or insensitive, though. Nor do I think it's going to help at all to change the name just to make up for the crimes against Natives. Tenchusatsu

Bayh Buzz Continues Howey Politics Indiana has more on our speculation about Sen. Barack Obama's trip to Indiana this week which "could be to announce the selection of Senator Evan Bayh as Obama's running mate." "Democratic sources say Secret Service is working out details with local police that would include a motorcade... Sources say the details appear to be different than a normal presidential candidate visit. Other Democratic sources contend that the visit has been prompted simply by the spike in the county's unemployment rate following the closure of the Monaco plant, and that veepstakes buzz continues to swirl around Virginia Governor Tim Kaine. HPI reported last week that one informed and reliable Democratic source had indicated that a Vice Presidential selection was imminent, and would be made 'within 72 hours' and announced this week. A choice this week would also come days before the beginning of the Beijing Olympics, an event during which a Vice Presidential selection is thought to be unlikely." politicalwire.com
