There are a couple of reasons this stupid reporter can chew on. I can come up with another 50.

This has been the summer of the town hall meeting trolls. This Astroturf movement has been whipping up hysteria -- warning that health care reform is the first step in Obama's master plan to set up a socialist government.
These right-wing nutjobs have a vendetta against Obama, they depict the president as a socialist who is against Mom, apple pie and democracy.
Obama is a wonky intellectual who speaks in calm and measured tones, and I find it difficult to understand how anybody could possibly mistake him for a dangerous radical.
But I guess I'm not a racist who sees only Obama's black skin, and overlooks his eloquence, intelligence and bipartisan spirit.
Now these same conservative crazies are apoplectic over Obama's plan to speak to schoolchildren this coming Tuesday.
"While it long ago crossed the borders of reason and civility, the hysteria over healthcare reform is -- at some level -- understandable, because wellness and infirmity are really just stand-ins for those most terrifying of issues, life and death.
But there is no similar way to rationalize the bizarre co ntroversy now raging over President Obama's plan to del iver a brief televised address on Tuesday to the nation's grammar school children.
According to Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, Obama will 'challenge students to work hard, set educational goals and take responsibility for their learning.'" Tim Tutten/LA Times
Obama is seeking to motivate students "to work hard, set educational goals and take responsibility for their learning." Don't those goals perfectly encapsulate the conservative Republican ethic? Then why are the Republicans calling for parents not to let their children listen to the president's speech?
In 1991 President George HW Bush made a similar speech to schoolchildren:
"I was intrigued by the links to a Washington Post story about George H.W. Bush speaking to school children on October 1, 1991. My daughter was in school then and I didn't remember hearing about her watching any such event.
On WESTLAW, I looked up other news stories about the speech. It was reported as 10 minutes in some reports and 12 minutes in others. It was carried live on CNN, PBS, and [the NBC] and Mutual radio [networks]. The Secretary of Education sent a letter urging schools to have their students watch, but I didn't find any evidence of how many schools followed that recommendation. And most striking: Bush laid out goals - to increase the graduation rate, improve student competency and better prepare students for entering school - and said, 'Let me know how you're doing. Write me a letter. I'm serious about this one. Write me a letter about ways you can help us achieve our goals.'"

Conservatives didn't mind when President George HW Bush and President Reagan addressed our schoolchildren, but they are in a tizzy over Obama's speech to students.
Obama is the President of the United States for God's sake, why all the controversy and paranoia over his speech to students? The birthers, tea baggers, pro-life zealots, gun nuts, Palin sycophants, and town hall meeting trolls have managed to convince many Republicans that Obama is a dangerous radical with a secret agenda to indoctrinate our children into socialism.
If Obama weren't black none of the crazy accusations that have been hurled at him would stick. Unfortunately it's very easy for some of these ignorant conservatives to believe that a black president is trying to undermine our democracy.
It's time for prominent Republicans to speak out against the tea baggers and town hall trolls who have inaccurately and unfairly depicted Obama as a dangerous radical. All good Americans (Republicans and Democrats) should unite in defending Obama against these scurrilous accusations.
Barf.
Not Racism, But Socialism!
Calling racist is like when someone uses foul language. Someone who curses constantly bores. Someone who rarely curses will shock when they actually swear. You save up that bad word to make it more effective.
Now they use it like Jon Stewart uses the f-bleeping word.
Use it, lefties! See how blunt your weapon becomes!
“Obama is a wonky intellectual who speaks in calm and measured tones, and I find it difficult to understand how anybody could possibly mistake him for a dangerous radical.”
Umm, useful idiot says what?
Speaking in calm and measured tones = certainly not a dangerous radical.
Wow.
"..My name is Robert Paul Reyes and I attended Alameda Community College in California. I was born and raised in the liberal San Francisco Bay Area, but now I write a newspaper column, from a liberal perspective, for a small town in the Bible Belt..."
This is a minor league wannabe.
IT'S THE COLOR OF HIS POLICIES"
Quote attributed to Diana In Wisconsin.
this should be the Republican battle cry from now on.....
I've taken to calling things racist that don't even relate (in any way) to race just so that I can OVER-USE the word.
For example: "Did you see that accident yesterday? Yup, it was racist."
“Obama is a wonky intellectual who speaks in calm and measured tones...how (could) anybody could possibly mistake him for a dangerous radical.”
Universities are full of “wonky” communists such as 0bama. They have been since the days of Marx.
Like he did with his "acting stupidly" comment?
Let me start ~ #1 ~ Obama is NOT WONKISH. He's an idiot. He hangs around with people who are so far off the beaten track they have problems believing it themselves ~ this Jones guy was out there stepping on his johnson all the time and said he was a Commie. I'm sure Reyes wants me to disbelieve Jones on the matter, but we'll need evidence. Reyes is not strong on evidence.
Then - #2 - Obama hangs around with madbombers, crazy preachers, people who constantly demean persons of other races, etc.
What, exactly, does he want me to believe about this jerk?
Reyes spends entirely too much time in his mother in law's basement!
Color of skin vs. abysmal character bump
If ya don’t like socialism you’re a racist. Count me in, I guess.
sorry obama my kids dont want to be your slave.

commie queen i bet
If agitprop buzzwords were rationed like Obama & Co. wants to ration health care, Robert Paul Reyes would be SOL for the year, having used up his allotted invective in just this one screed.
Gee, that must be it.
oops! very sory for bad remarks.
