As much as Tea Partiers and crazed dittoheads strike me as mean and pigheaded, I don't buy the racist argument. I have heard him called all sorts of insults, but none of them struck me as racist. Bill Clinton, John Kerry, and Al Bore were all subject to the same lunacy. And Clinton had a much harder time than Mr. O has had so far. Sure they have opposed every position, idea he's had, blamed him for everthing, and credited him with nothing, and provided a constant stream of mindless contempt and ill-will, but I don't think that has anything to do with race.
People are just so super partisan it is absurd, but that is another issue
Yes, they are. As you so aptly demonstrated in your post.
Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.) is once again drawing attention for making controversial
comments in an interview for an Arab television network.
"A lot of people in this country, I believe, don't want to be governed by an African American,
particularly one who is inclusive, who is liberal, who wants to spend money on everyone
and who wants to reach out to include everyone in our society"
Oh c'mon. It's not like he's not telling the truth. And it's not the liberals who are the problem on that front........
Agreed.
So, where's all that rightist tolerance now? Doesn't Mr. Moran have a right to speak his mind, give his opinion? And why are people so sensitive about this subject? Racism exists. Shouldn't we deal with it head-on?
That's obvious. We've never had a black president. We've had all white Anglo Saxon protestant Presidents and a handsome Uncle Tom.
