Racism underlies rage at Obama presidency

It shows itself in attacks against each and every act.

It started with a nagging feeling in my stomach as I watched media coverage of people screaming at so-called town-hall meetings that were purportedly about health-care policy. Seeing that some of those people came armed with handguns - and were allowed to join a public gathering where the president of the United States was speaking - didn't help. And when South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson yelled "you lie!" at President Obama as he addressed a joint session of Congress, I reached my personal tipping point.

So I have decided it's time that what I've been watching be called what I believe it is: racism.

With credentials like these she MUST be believed....

R. Danielle Egan is an Associate Professor of Gender Studies at St. Lawrence University. She is the author of Dancing for Dollars and Paying for Love (Palgrave MacMillan) and the co-editor (with Katherine Frank & Merri Lisa Johnson) of Flesh for Fantasy: Producing and Consuming Exotic Dance (Thunder's Mouth Press). She has also published on post-9/11 rhetoric and popular culture. She is currently working on her new book with Gail Hawkes tentatively entitled Knowing Innocence: Constructing Childhood Sexuality in the 19th and 20th Century (Palgrave Macmillan).

Dancing for Dollars and Paying for Love explores the relationships between exotic dancers and their regular customers. Mapping the intersection of power, desire, and the erotic, Egan examines how dancers and regulars negotiate the fuzzy line between capitalism and connection under the black lights of two New England clubs.

The level of rage being expressed is different and out of sync with what we know from the past.

That is because the level of Marxist/socialist audacity is different and out of sync with what we know from the past.

[Joe Boucher]

Fine, I’m a racist.

And I still HATE this marxist unAmerican poser punk.

Just lol...

[concerned about politics]

If all else fails, toss out the race card.

Could it be the American people don't want to live in a Socialist country? Could that be the cause of their discontentment? Has the left ever thought about that?

(The left is too dumb to realize how dumb it really is.)

When you can debate issues with facts ... there's always ad hominem attacks.

[Ceebass]

Q: What do you call someone who’s winning an argument with a liberal?

A: A racist.

Exactly right.

[Hardastarboard]

Fine, I’m a racist.

I'm out of the closet, too. See my tag line.

[bitterohiogunclinger]

The only “ism's” being trotted out by Obama and gang are Socialism, Marxism, Elitism, Egoism, Statism, Fascism and Narcissism. Sorry, the race card has been revoked, try again.

Flesh for Fantasy: Producing and Consuming Exotic Dance

Two scholarly works that will go down in history. Mom and Dad must be proud.

I think R. Danielle is a stripper at heart.

The democrats are all about the power to punish.

These educated idiots just don’t get it... 0bama is deserving of scorn because he’s a SOCIALIST. His ethnicity has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. I’d hate this garbage if he was purple, green, white or yellow. His policies are dangerous to the freedoms of the American people.

[Travis McGee]

From the libtard POV, Obama is perfect. He can push National Socialism down our throats, and if we object, voila, it must be because we are racists!

Sorry girl, homey don’t play that game anymore. We read Alinsky. We’re onto your tricks.

She is very credible. Seriously, what an absolute pathetic idiot. I hope that she is happy as a professor, because if it doesn’t work out she’ll be lucky to find a spot at starbucks.

She's actually getting PAID to study this? From my carousing days on the Oil Rigs in the 1980's, I can give you a summary of the interaction between strippers and their "customers", and won't cost you a a single dime...stripper dances, stupid horny guys throw dollars at her thinking they'll get some, stripper does $10 lap dance ($25 on weekends and payday), stipper asks for john, errr, "customer" to buy her drink, he gets a $7.50 mug of Pearl beer while she gets a $7.50 shotglass of same stuff, at 1:00, or 2:00, or whatever time place is supposed to close, said stripper leaves after fleecing "customer" of a few c-notes, and if you're sober you notices she has lots of "sores" on her and she's either emaciated or fat.

See, you didn't need to pay some crpto-fascist baby-killing man-hating Feminazi hundreds of thousands of dollars.
