guts to stand up and call some of the opposition to President Obama what it is, racism. I think there are those out there who are genuinely opposed to the policy and base their disagreements on that opposition.
On the other hand, I think that the over the top anger, the vile signs, the comparisons to animals,the birthers and the Confederate Flag are racism.
I also think that anger breeds hate and hate breeds violence. Unless something happens to change this cycle, it's only a matter of time until there is an act of violence that occurs as a result of the hate that even the MSM won't be able to deny. It's in the air, it's a palpable electricity, it's in the faces of the protesters last weekend and it scares me.
