NYT Johnny come lately. Boo!

I can only say thanks, but no thanks to your op-ed piece “Politics of Attack”. I say that due to the fact almost anything you do now is too late. The horse has been out of the barn so long it has altizmers and is dying of old age. We begged you to do something regarding the way the primaries were going. We literally kissed your ass and you only responded by farting in our faces time and time again. And so it is, Gov. Palin and Sen. McCain have emerged and are your chickens coming home to roost that you have to deal with. We in the blogosphere are dealing with it in our own way and to be blunt, you can go to hell with your “Politics of Attack” op-ed.

Gov. Palin has advanced to effectively using the **Call and Response technique which is one of the oldest and most powerful of teaching instruments at our command. Its power has been documented throughout the ages. Now and as in the past, the Fourth Estate has given it the fertile soil in which to flourish in a nefarious manner mostly through exercising the unwritten doctrine of “White privilege”. For too long you have abdicated your duties to American citizens. If we had left things up to you, Sen. Obama would not be where he is today.

I strayed. I’m pissed! I just saw Gov. Palin at a rally.
In this country, Call and Response reached its zenith in the Black church only to spread out into the educational community and beyond. Gov. Palin and Sen. McCain are making good usage of this teaching tool and have an audience to use it on, thanks to you. It appears sub prime lending is not going to be the only thing to bring us as a country to our ungraceful knees; try the sub prime patriotic reporting of our Fourth Estate! And to be honest, I am both overjoyed and sickened by the article.
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-Span and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

And
**Call and response is a form of "spontaneous verbal and non-verbal interaction between speaker and listener in which all of the statements ('calls') are punctuated by expressions ('responses') from the listener", as stated by Smitherman.[1]
In African cultures, call and response is a pervasive pattern of democratic participation — in public gatherings, in the discussion of civic affairs, in religious rituals, as well as in vocal and instrumental musical expression (see call and response in music). It is this tradition that African bondsmen and women have transmitted over the years in various forms of expression — in religious observance; public gatherings; even in children's rhymes; and, most notably, in black music in its multiple forms: gospel, blues, rhythm and blues, jazz and jazz extensions, and hip-hop.
