While Asner is a certified Leftist Loon, I appreciate his honesty on this issue. Ed is absolutely correct that Obama is wildly popular among Leftists because he’s black. Leftists are so obsessed with supporting a black man and thus trying to prove that they are not racist, that they would rather side with Al Qaeda in Syria and send American men and women to war than to tell a black man “no”.
White Leftists are consumed with white guilt.
Black Leftists are consumed with black tribalism and unquestioned loyalty.
Both of these mental illnesses are why Leftists call anyone who questions Obama a racist. They are projecting their own warped worldview of being obsessed with race onto others.
Asner is correct on this matter.
Excellent analysis on your part.
