things we learned in the fire

so what did the race between hillz and bamz show us? what did we learn?

1. the american left really is as petty and vindictive as conservatives have been saying it is
2. there is, for myriad reasons, an extraordinary amount of hostility and resentment between white american feminists and minorities
3. political ideologues will, in fact, cut off their noses to spite their faces

three things i've always sort of suspected and now i have google cache upon google cache of evidence to back up, should i ever feel the need to point it out. but hey, just look up salon, jezebel, huffington post, daily kos, etc. and amuse/repulse/see for yourself.
