Desperate Democrats and their co-conspirators in the media are busy trying to whip up a race war.
"The health care bill is not the main source of this anger and never has been. It's merely a handy excuse," Frank Rich wrote in a recent New York Times column. Their line is that all those opposed to the president's radical agenda are racists who resent having a black man as president. It is a moldy, old smear, but as approval ratings for Mr. Obama sink below 50 percent, it is being revisited with increasing fervor.

Race plays a much stronger role in the liberal mindset than for most of America. Mr. Obama and many liberals of his generation grew up being taught that America is at root a deeply flawed country, and it is their mission to "fix" it. Those pushing the "racism" argument to explain the strong opposition to Mr. Obama's policies do so because they can't escape looking at issues through a racial prism. As America has become post-racial, they are intellectually and emotionally stuck in the 1960s. So they recycle images half-a-century old and wait, forlornly, for a random lynching to justify their worldview.
There is much to dislike about Mr. Obama's America: high unemployment, monstrous record debt, economic sluggishness, a terrible health care law, higher taxes, a rigged census, fast-tracking illegal aliens to the franchise, growing government at home and increasing weakness abroad. It is not mean-spirited racism to take a stand against the daily destruction of the American dream; it is simple common sense.

The charge of “racism” hurled at dissent is a sign of intellectual exhaustion. It means the accuser has nothing left but bile and spit.
If only they’d had their *first* thought in 2008....:)
I'm with Salamander. My liberal friends don't think. They parrot. If they could form their own, original thoughts, they wouldn't be liberals.
I like pushing buttons. Liberal friends are fun.
I know that are certain things that you have to do when you are married, but associating with Obama voters is beyond my abilities. Fortunately, we live in a part of the country where they are scarce.
The new definition of a racist is “anyone who doesn’t agree with a liberal”... And I’m a racist..

Yep, that’s what I’ve gathered, too.
These maniacs are the only ones that see dark colors...because they all have their heads up their asses
I don’t despise Obama because of the color of his skin.
I despise him because of the content of his character.
Do think that most liberals are phonies? In other words, do you think that the primary motivation for their views is make themselves feel more virtuous?
Mis-understood post, apology
Blacks also don't realize is that this time they were key in refastening their own chains.
Well... Kevin gets it....
He is 50% white, 44% African tribe if Obama Sr is his Dad and 6% black. Now if Franklin Marshall Davis is his father he is 50% white and 50% black.
Throw a dart since he refuses to reveal any records.
You can now call me a racist because I cannot stand Obama’s politics, his agenda, or anything else about the arrogant person who lives in the White House. He travels around the world at a drop of a hat, disses our allies and praises our enemies along with wasting our tax dollars flying AF One everywhere he can think of so he doesn’t have to stay in Washington. It has absolutely ZERO to do with his race or color of his skin.
In fact, I find it racist that I am expected to support someone because they are black even if I disagree with them!
My [only] liberal friend is currently obsessing over her carbon footprint.
Good thing we don’t have video phones or she’d see nothing but one “face palm” after another....:)
WELL SAID!
“I don’t despise Obama because of the color of his skin.
I despise him because of the content of his character.”
That is the post of the month!
I despise him because of the content of his character.
Best-selling bumpersticker material. Outstanding!
To a one, yes. They can’t carry on any debate for more than 30 seconds without screaming or changing subjects.
