Of course, it's about race!
This is still America, right?



For a lot of people, things haven't changed in their minds, even if they aren't willing to admit it.

1. Admitting it would be a HUGE step.
At least we are talking about not admitting it, right?:eyes:

3. I really think that they ought to admit it
It would make them sound less hysterical, with all that bullshit about communism and Nazi black president

Racist dialog from them is much more straight forward and a truer reflection of their opinion.

4. The White House doesn't have to
But if these crazy wingers quit the bullshit and say what they really mean, it'll be much easier for us to say, "Well, there you go."

5. Sadly true, MrScorpio
And where I live there are some that will shout out their bigotry and hatred. They make me ill.

6. One of the few times Limbaugh spoke the truth
some DUers deny it though, but I suspect what their motivations are.

7. Here is the problem
racists have been having to cope with children who are enthusiastic about our president. The could not hammer on them with the racist justification because kids are not likely as racist as their parents and would reject it.
RW nut cases come up with the cult/nazi president scam to give the parents a reason to indoctrinate their kids against Obama. They had to do something to teach their children not to respect the president.

I do think we have witnessed a sophisticated, organized propaganda machine that is out to destroy Obama for being black and for being a Democrat. It was effective in so far as they took control of the issue.
