Racist old farts
So, I'm reading an article about how Obama has an 'age' problem, where McCain sole consistent base of support is older white Americans who 'do not share younger American's views on how the country has changed.' these people are apparently the sole reason McCain is even near electable.
My only thought is, so, young people can be criticized as frivolous celebrity gawkers, but the apparent factual evidence that there's a large damaging section of our population that are old racist codgers who want someone to wave a magic wand and make all these crazy new gadgets go away is somehow verboten.
