These are not "just words"...this is action by speech

While Hillary takes up the Karl Rove politics of fear, Obama admits to occasional homophobia amongst blacks and addresses it directly. This is a perfect example of words that are so much more than "just words." Imagine another candidate going to a constituency and trying to get their votes by challenging them rather than appealing to their base, rather than handing out more platitudes. It doesn't happen.
