Hmmmm....this sounds eerily familiar - seems I remember hearing this kind of stuff for the last 8 years.

So how do you Dems plan to differentiate the people who disagree based on their beliefs vs those that disagree based on racism ? Do you want us to take a survey ? Answer a few questions before the name calling starts ?

I don't agree with Obama's policies. I only agreed with one but he broke that one mighty quick...(no lobbyists ). I did not vote for Obama and will continue to voice my opinion. That is my right. But it is not your right to label me racist just because I disagree.

Last time I looked we still have Freedom of Speech ..at least until you Dems want to take it away.

This Obama worship is turning into a cult.

Yes, we do have Freedom of Speech.

The true patriots will therefore continue to point out the truth behind all of the tea bagger protests and Obama haters. We will call you (and others like you) out for claiming to not be racists while holding racist/derogatory anti-Obama signs at these rallys.

If WE believe that your statements (and anyine else's) are based solely on Obama's race and not his policies WE will continue to point this out, as well.

As a person who loves America, I will not stand by and let bigoted and embittered yahoos blanket the Internet and the airwaves with lies and pure rubbish regarding the intent of Obama's administration.

I will stand for my President and stand for my country because I know that Barack Obama truly wants to do what is best for this nation no matter how difficult the task may be.

So don't demand YOUR rights but attempt to refuse equal argument for opposing views.

The constant playing of the race card by the liberals and democrats has completely diluted the charge. Nowadays it is dealt whenever there is criticism of obama.

It just doesn't work anymore.

Obviously, it does....because it still bothers you enough to retort the allegation.

Oh is that right..if you believe? Doesn't need any proof..just that "you believe" ? So you're now self-proclaimed judge and jury ?

I say..step back and stop drinking that koolaid. Unless you have proof then you have no right to call anyone racist based on your feelings.

How soon some forget and the list goes on and on
Well the Japanese were reparated for their 4-5 year imprisonment

All one has to do is read the many racist signs that were on display at the tea party evenets (with references to Obama as a monkey, telling him to go back to Africa/Kenya, Obama is a Muslim, obscene references to the Holocaust, Obama portrayed as a "murderer", "thug", "mugger" or "thief", veiled threats of violence, and on and on....)

And also, having a sprinkling of Blacks in the crowd does not make the overall mood of these events any less racist...the Klan usually had at least one Black at their cross burnings and lynchings, did that make it any less racist?

as I stated in my last post, opposition to Obama is about his policies, not his skin color

but since YOU make this last post, then ANSWER THIS: are these pics racist???





funny thing is all the SAME THINGS that you NOW call racist, are the signs YOU were carrying for the last 8 years




sorry but you cant have it both ways
