Republican protesters openly admit using racist imagry

[Berkut]

Seeing the town hall meetings with the daily shrieking white woman screaming "I want my country back" I'd say it's fairly widespread.

Uhhh, people screamed stuff like that when Bush was President.

I think this assumption is the key to this entire "issue".

What assumption?  That you can use racism as a political weapon?  Why are you quoting Malthus and acting like he is being taken in by some evil leftist conspiracy?  Did you even read what he was saying because this strikes me as completely unrelated.

He was saying it was only indicative of racism if the organizers were attempting to manipulate racism in some way, not that obviously the evil right wing was full of racists.

I am quoting Malthus because he is the person I was responding to. He did not claim that the right was full of racists, hence there is no need for you to presume that simply because I am quoting him, I am claiming that he DOES think that.

Calm down.

They called him a stupid redneck, said he looked like a monkey, etc., but that's okay 'cuz he is a white guy.

Right.

The reason the race card is being played now is simply because it CAN be played now - Obama is black, so it is a way to go after those who are opposed to him. I don't see any reason to believe there is anything more to any of this than that.

Are there crazies out there who have a problem with him because he is black? I am sure there are. Is that the basis for the rights opposition to him? No way.

Of course.  Democrats are just as evil if not more so.   Find me this widespread hate during Bush's first year in office.

Ehm, do you recall Inaguration Day 2001?

He had historically low approval ratings after his first year.

Remember - that was the year that saw a bunch of horriffic cabinet appointments, and it was made clear that his "moderate" campaign facade was just that.

He was HATED after the first year, not the least of which by me for his inane faith based religious funding bullshit.

Can't we all just get along?

Really?  You have a polls to back that up compared to say clinton and Obama?

I'm randomly inserting my reply into the middle of the mess of quotes. Sure some people are racist against Obama. But it's not "ok" like it was with Bush, where several black congresspeople tried to prevent him from even taking office.

All good points.

That usually happens when, oh I dunno, the other guy gets more votes.  I think it's, like, a mathematical thing.

America's love affair with racism is in full swing.

It's a teachable moment.
