Yes.

I grew up in West Virginia, and know many, many racists. To them, the prospect of a black man succeeding more than they personally do is terrifying. To see a man with brown skin in the White House throws them into fits of apoplexy because it reminds them, day after day, that their beliefs aren't shared by nearly anyone these days.

It's the last thrashing of a Fat, White, Balding, Impotent Republican Titan, being subsumed by the Olympian tides of history.

My only worry is that one of these assholes will act out in defense of his fellow idiots and their idiocy and do some damage a la Tim McVeigh.

Aside from that, this is it. Their ways are dying as quickly as are the elderly that comprise their 'base'. If the Republicans don't distance themselves from the crazies, they're going to go the way of the Whigs and Free Soil Party within a decade.
