2. We can't have men walking around openly carrying guns

if they are black. Oh wait, those aren't even guns. We can't have men walking around carrying sticks and wearing beards and being, well for lack of a better description, black.

The alleged incident of interest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neGbKHyGuHU

This incident was investigated and it was determined that there was in fact no case against the NBP, or the individuals allegedly involved. There was no actual evidence of voter intimidation.

3. Which means,of course

that-according to the right, Obama/Holder are protecting them (because they're black too!) :eyes: :puke:

4. I don't tread into the sick and racist propaganda of America's right.

So when confronted by any of the Republican and tea party/libertarian repetition of the latest race baiting tactics, I'm usually not real informed as I don't waste time on non issues.

5. Its a Rove tactic ... take your weakness, make it your opponenent's weakness.

The GOP is packed with racists. So how do you defend that ... you don't. You don't play defense, you play offense.

You claim that the Democrats and the blacks are the "real racists".

And that's why you have right wing (Rush usually leadin the charge) screaming ...

Barack is a racist, Michelle is a racist, Holder is a racist, Colin Powell is a racist, Sotomayer is a racist, Van Jones is a racist, Acorn is racist, there are millions of "new black panthers", racists.

Tea Party ... NO WAY IN HELL those nice white folks are racists!!

Take your weakness, claim it is your opponent's weakness.

6. Yes, it's actually the mo of both them and racists in general.
