Fatimah Ali in today’s Philadelphia Daily News: If McCain wins, look for a full-fledged race and class war, fueled by a deflated and depressed country, soaring crime, homelessness - and hopelessness!

Okay, okay. We get it. She wants Obama to win. Full-fledged race and class war, though? I can’t even take that seriously. If anything, I would be less-surprised by a face and class war coming after an Obama win than a McCain win. But personally, I don’t think it’s coming.

I would get all upset and bent out of shape about this, but the truth is that some writers seem to work with the sole purpose of getting the people all siced up. Whether Ms. Ali actually believes in a coming race war, or whether she just said that because she knows she writes in a polarized market like Philadelphia, I don’t know. But I do know that it’s getting her some attention. Maybe that’s all she really wanted in the first place.
