A reminder from the mainstream, tax-supported media: if you oppose ObamaCare, that may be because you are a white racist who hates our black president.
That's the gist of Shankar Vedantam's story this morning on National Public Radio's Morning Edition, which reports on a new study published by Michael Tesler in the American Journal of Political Science.
Tesler presents data "that suggest that the racial attitudes of ordinary Americans have shaped both how they feel about the health care overhaul, and how intense those feelings are."
In particular:
Tesler finds that blacks have become increasingly supportive of health care under Obama's watch. Among whites, Tesler finds a sharp divide between whites who have a liberal outlook on racial issues compared with those who have a conservative outlook on racial issues.
Yet correlation does not imply causation, and the key to understanding the divisions over ObamaCare is not race but politics.
As UCLA political scientist Tim Groseclose notes in Left Turn: How Liberal Media Bias Distorts the American Mind, the most important factor in political conflict in the United States is ideology--the liberal versus conservative divide.
So the key is not whether people have a liberal or conservative "outlook on racial issues," but whether they have a liberal or conservative outlook, period.

So, 7 of 10 Americans are racists?
Then how did Obama ever get elected?
Did the White House ccrub Malia story cause her friends were too white?
There’s a racist pattern here. When Hillary tried to pass this 20 years ago, conservatives opposed her, but that was only because Bill was “the first black president”.
Those black Americans over 65 don’t realize that they are dead meat under Obamacare.
They are looking at the easy freebies and ignoring the death panels for older Americans.

Then how did Obama ever get elected?
Easy.
A little over 50% of the voters are gullible and/or incredibly stupid.
‘Then how did Obama ever get elected?’
Good question.
Let’s take back our hard-earned tax dollars.
Recall that the final 2008 presidential debate was moderated by a woman from Public Broadcasting who had authored a book championing the Obama campaign that was scheduled for a Jan 20th street date. No bias there. No sireeeee!
For those who don’t recall, her book was announced PRIOR to the debate.
Ronald Reagan made a record album decades ago opposing a socialized medical program in America. Everything he said back then still rings true today. NONE of it is cast in racial terms and certainly Barack Hussein Obama’s name was not even tied to it then.
It’s the RED DIAPER DOPER POLITICS we oppose.
The left is NOT obsessed with skin color. They played the race card against a “horny black dude who ran a pizza company”.
Not very tolerant of them to cast a presidential candidate that way.
And gender; “War on Women”.
Liberals are racists ...PERIOD.
He never got vetted. Americans wouldn’t ever knowingly elect a Marxist. Thanks to Breitbart he’ll get vetted this time.
You bet I’m racist and it influences my views of THE ONE...I hate ALL Reds with a passion.
Why are so many journalists foreign sounding now?
