Dissent in the age of Obama.

Cindy Sheehan has a short editorial about the COINTELPRO-esque raids on peace activists last week.

Among other things she raises the interesting point that Obama is still portrayed as the good guy to most Americans and in the US media to the extent people can't really conceive of him being in charge of a regime that is doing plenty of evil things. In effect because of Obama the entire apparatus of US imperialism is more or less given a free pass.
