They hate Obama for being a Democrat. They hate him more for another reason. But silly me. Why would I expect a Republican to be honest?

You know the word.

8. I think most of it is the fact that he is a Democrat.
Republicans have accused Democrats as being demons for so long, they actually believe the end has arrived and they are going nuts about it.

There probably are some who are very pissed about what color his skin is, but if any white male Democrat was in there, they would show just as much disrespect. Just look at the town hall meetings.

9. Because....
...IT AINT ALL ABOUT RACE!

Folks here can try as hard as they want to make this all about race - it does not make it any truer.

The Clintons were accused of murder, rape, felony larceny, buying votes, treason and many other outlandish charges. He was FREAKING IMPEACHED for pete's sake. As you may remember, they are both white.

I am certainly NOT saying that none of them are racist - many are. In fact, I know MANY Democrats that did not vote or held their nose and voted because President Obama is black.

However, go ahead and ascribe all opposition to President Obama as racist....obviously I am being a racist for debating the issue.

14. That fact that President Obama
is black gives the smears and attacks a bit of a boost in effectiveness. That and the RW corporate M$M is even more controlled and organized in their attacks and smears than they were during the Clinton Administration.

Want to see what I'm talking about? Go here and listen to Yuval Levin on C-Span's Washington Journal yesterday. http://www.c-span.org/Watch/watch.aspx?MediaId=WJE-A-23135

This is what passes for journalism in the U.S.? This smirky creep never had an objective thought in his lifetime.

16. Race
Whenever some one say it not about race,you can bet your last peso its about race.When you have avowed racist,such as Beck,Limbaugh,and Buchanan using their bully pulpit to spew racist speach 24/7,its about race and the racist among us.

13. They don't need to.
They just keep saying he's "arrogant" and "elitist" and their listeners fill in the rest.
