"Death Panel Conservatives".....so says David Brooks
Edited on Fri Sep-04-09 06:47 PM by MichiganVote
What's the difference between that descriptor and the one I prefer, 'assholes'?

The face of the Republican party in the news, video, print, image = RACISM

1. Racism is part of it, of course.
More important, for us all, is POWER. Watch them run.

3. it's a huge part of what we are seeing with obama
it's like the same old lies that were used with clinton and would be used with anyone to the right of attila the hun, but the racism has a life of its own. it has nothing to do with political or philosophical differences...it's just pure, american hatred.

4. I recall Bill Clinton being called a lot of things but w/Obama its all about
his "right" to govern whether its about a birth certificate or claims that he is not a patriot etc. Nope, to me, it all spells racism at this point.

5. preaching to the choir
katrina showed us that black people aren't really citizens of the usa. something i'd been saying for years.. the madness with obama is more of the same type of thinking, and i might add, sincere beliefs............
