			<![CDATA[<p>So I used the term &quot;Oppressed-A-Thon&quot; in another post and I thought I should define it. I got the idea from this brilliant <a href="http://decentpedia.blogspot.com/2007/08/will-you-condemn-thon.html">entry</a>.</p>

<p>Oppressed-A-Thon--An unintentionally amusing pastime, in which flummoxed pundits unable to make heads or tails out of actual human beings, engage in a dubious contest to prove that said human beings' respective group is more doomed, victimized, and otherwise shat-upon than all other doomed, victimized and presumably shat-upon groups. <br /><br />&quot;Misoginy is the last acceptable prejudice&quot;--<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/06/AR2008030603240.html">Katha Pollit</a></p>

<p>&quot;If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he
was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens
to be very lucky to be who he is.&quot;--<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?id=4428719&amp;page=1">Geraldine Ferraro</a></p>

<p>&quot;Hillary ain't never been called a nigger.&quot;--<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/13/jeremiah-wright-obamas-_n_91312.html">Rev. Jeremiah Wright</a></p>]]>
