Most honest criticism of President Obama doesn't stem from racism or prejudice. When George Will claims, "As the president begins his second term, the signature achievement of his first term looks remarkably rickety," he's speaking from his own honest assessment of the ACA. Similarly, when Pat Buchanan asks, "Will Obamacare Be the Death of Liberalism?" he's voicing the genuine sentiment of millions of concerned citizens. However, conservative politics since President Obama's first term has blurred the lines between sincere analysis and surreptitious messages aimed at pandering to extremists. Whereas Republicans used to shy away from the mention of Willie Horton ads or the racially charged reference of welfare queens, today's GOP has embraced rhetoric that overtly communicates racist undertones. When Glenn Beck famously stated that President Obama had a "deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture," American politics entered a phase where paranoia trumped reasonable debate and dialogue.
The recent comment by Republican Congressman Mo Brooks about "the war on whites that's being launched by the Democratic Party" is the latest example of such racially charged hyperbole and highlights a political platform within the Tea Party. The Tea Party and staunch GOP conservatives have overtly proclaimed, in many instances, that President Obama's heritage should be verified and his motives questioned. Most importantly, the first African-American president has been painted as opposing the interests of white people, and while Glenn Beck has stated this verbatim, this sentiment has been a cornerstone of Tea Party politics....

Which one of Obama's policies would I just love if it was by a white Alinkyite instead of Obama? Hmmm, thinking, thinking.... Nope. None of them.
So I guess when the left went after Bush calling him a monkey and calling for his death that means the left hated white people?
[ Yeah, because Glenn Beck is the titular head of the Tea Party. ]
Really, i thought Sarah Palin was the head of the tea party...
Or is it Sparticus....
Huffpo luvs them some Alinsky.
The first Black president who assured Americans that he wasn't about race, sure spent a lot of energy dividing Americans along racial lines.
The first Black president who pledged to heal America has race wars in the backyard of his home town.
So yeah, keep deflecting to the Tea Party. Your hands are filthy with the mud and dirt of your destruction.
There's no taking them seriously, either.
The first person to use Willie Horton to attack Dukakis was Al Gore.
I say again. There is no black in Commie Pink Fag.
Obama’s IDENTITY should be verified.
Um, sure...
What else you got? The race card is damn near worn out, one would think.
Algore is a Tea Partier??? Who Knew? 1
This guy has the right initials. HA!
No. I hate his white side.
I think what is going on in Ferguson illustrates the frustration of people who are trapped in dependency. They are prisoners of their own decisions, but in a way they are not completely responsible for those decisions. Their dependency and the immorality of the "Great Society" agenda put forth by democrats over the years has robbed them of much of our naturally given ability to reason.
