BARBER: SAVING THE BABIES?

We'll give the Rev. Barber and the NAACP some credit - they can round up a lot of organizational names to throw on a website for their shindig on Saturday. And I'm sure he'll be working to polarize folks even more.

One thing did strike me as peculiar on his list of folks. While clearly many of the groups on his Partners List would feverishly support abortion choice, I see no listing of Planned Parenthood anywhere. I'm just wondering if the Reverend and NAACP have tired of palling around with a group founded on Margaret Sanger's eugenics push and the racial undertones it held. She was all about breeding out the underprivileged in society.

If that's the case, then we'll tip our hat to you on this one.

In the immortal words of Marvin Gaye - "Save the Children."

Here's one of our favorite Marvin clips from coincidentally an NAACP Operation Push Concert:

Enjoy.
