~ georgia senator zell miller compares the opposition of democrats to the nomination of conservative black woman to the dc circuit court of appeals to a lynching, and he catches hell from his own opposition/party. jermaine jackson refers to the arrest of his brother on child molestation charges as a ‘modern day lynching’, and people in rome hold a candlelight vigil for him. we have failed to draw parallels between these situations, because it is difficult to understand why zell miller has been so intent on towing the republican line or to understand michael jackson.
