Obama Flashback: Stop Trafficking in Fear and Hate

Thanks to Andrew Sullivan for highlighting a quote of Obama's from back in January. It is particularly appropriate today after the Ferraro mess.

“So let us say that on this day of all days, each of us carries with us the task of changing our hearts and minds. The division, the stereotypes, the scape-goating, the ease with which we blame our plight on others - all of this distracts us from the common challenges we face - war and poverty; injustice and inequality. We can no longer afford to build ourselves up by tearing someone else down. We can no longer afford to traffic in lies or fear or hate. It is the poison that we must purge from our politics; the wall that we must tear down before the hour grows too late,” - Barack Obama, January 20, 2008.
