“Racers” - those who hold the kooky conspiracy belief that all criticism of liberal policies and politicians must be based in racism.

The Kenyan Impostor dropped his mask and called one half of America racists. America yawns and flips him the bird.

Sorry, I don’t see how Serena Williams has anything to do with all this. She didn’t say anything racial to the line judge and the call was definitely debatable. She had a bad day and lost her temper and paid for it.

To put her in the same line as Van Jones and Kanye West is a bit over the top.

The Dems calling a racist any person who criticizes Obama means two things (1) They are out of legitimate arguments and defenses and (2) They are not ready for a black president.

It’s a shame, but when your opponent fights from the gutter, how do you compete unless you get down in the gutter, too? Liberals started this crudeness decades ago - in the 60’s. They have escalated the incivility during the times they have been out of power. Conservatives tried to stay above the fray.

The pent up anger of conservatives is now exploding and liberals are finally on the receiving side of what they’ve been dishing out for a long time. And they don’t like it. It’s like somebody finally stood up to the schoolyard bully and the bully has turned into a simpering crybaby.

The incivility does not help public discourse whether it comes from the left or the right, but for now, it has great entertainment value with a lot of schadenfreude mixed in.

the constant and vicious anger directed at Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice

Don't forget the premeditated leftist slander of Clarence Thomas.

Jimmy Carter -

Is there a better argument for bringing back the Frontal Lobotomy and Elctro-Shock therapy?

I embrace the term Racist. As the Race Card is being wrecked as an effective Weapon by the idiots on the Left. I really no longer care. I have a Black Son in Law and Nephew. With Two Grandnephews and Three Grandsons whose Father is black and my Daughter and Niece are both White.

The idiot Maxine Waters and Empty Suits in the media, are saying I hate my Grandsons. Screw them. This is the tactics of the left to shut down debate and to end discussion. I say ratchet it up. Are they asking for a Race War???

This is Intellectual Cowardice by the Dems. Screw Jimmy Carter he must have had a Senior moment. He too is engaging in the tactic of call em names and upset us we will go away.
I prefer to directly confront these Ass%%les.

Their Nuclear Option will lose its power to silence opposition. When you no longer care what they think they have no power left. William Jacobsen whose blog Legal Insurrection attacks this tactic wrote a piece that has appeared in Real Clear politics. Its simple they are out of arguments to refute the merit of our assertions. So they use this weak tactic in desperation. We must push on past this and not cave in.

Racers, truthers, all one and the same- leftist moonbats.

At least there seems to be a distinction between “birthers”, “turfers” and “teabaggers”.

the Left assumed permanent political marginalization, adopted an ends-justify-the-means strategy of street rhetoric against Bush, then found themselves unexpectedly as the establishment, and now are appalled that anyone might emulate their own past emotional outbursts.

and this from Obama/Hillary idol Alinsky: "The third rule of ethics of means and ends is that in war the end justifies almost any means...." p.29

"The seventh rule... is that generally success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics...." p.34

“Go balloons race cards, go race cards! Go race cards! I don't see anything happening. Go race cards! Go race cards! Go race cards! Standby confetti. Keep coming, race cards. More race cards. Bring it- race cards, race cards, race cards! We want race cards, tons of them. Bring them down. Let them all come. No confetti. No confetti yet.

“No confetti. All right, go race cards, go race cards. We need more race cards. All race cards! All race cards! Keep going! Come on, guys, lets move it. Jesus! We need more race cards. I want all race cards to go, goddammit. Go confetti. Go confetti. More confetti. I want more race cards. What's happening to the race cards? We need more race cards.

“We need all of them coming down. Go race cards- race cards? What's happening race cards? There's not enough coming down! All race cards, what the hell! There's nothing falling! What the f*** are you guys doing up there? We want more race cards coming down, more race cards. More race cards. More race cards”

“In the wake of Joe Wilson’s crude outburst,”

Joe Wilson, the greatest living American Statesman, spoke the truth. Thank you and God give you even more courage, Joe!

“Obama himself wisely called West a “jackass””

That doesn’t sound like wisdom.
