Once again, how does pointing out another's racist comments make someone a racist? Are you suggesting that simply stating the fact that the man who made those racist comments spoke to 75,000 white people over the weekend constitutes racism? If so, you need to recheck the definition of racism that I posted up above.

The big boys (insurance, hospitals, some doctors, etc) are targeting their hatred towards Obama by means of "working class" protestors who are full of racial prejudice

Jimmy Carter is an idiotic old fool. He was a terrible President and continues to run his mouth on every subject he knows nothing about. It is WAY past time for the press and American public to ignore this fool.

People are being irrational by marching in protests AGAINST their own best interests and SUPPORTIVE of the best interests of the huge and wealthy insurance industry corporations.
So you think that all the people at town halls and the huge number of people that showed up in washington are "Stupid" AND "Racist"? You are smarter than that Austin....the American people are not buying the liberal agenda!!

The American people get it...you are making it about race.

It isn't your either for us or your a racist.That is what teh race card is all about; using it for pure politcal propoganda how days.

My proof? Are you blind/deaf? Those who were marching Washington on Sat didn't look exactly like high income, college-educated skilled workers who have great insurance. Those are the ones who are more likely to go broke if they get a serious disease, and who would ironically benefit most from a UHC system. But somehow they act like puppets, spewing the same lies (death panels, abortions, etc) they hear from radicals like O'Reilly, Palin, etc. I feel pity for them.

70000 white folks showed up. That is hardly "the American people not buying the liberal agenda." That is a few hundred cynical people with a financial interest in seeing health insurance reform fail and a few hundred republicans who have a vested interest in seeing this administration fail, pulling the strings of some sheep to get them to jump to their tune. Now, many of those sheep carried signs and said things that showed clearly that their "cause" was purely racist. Others got caught up with the rhetoric of those pulling the strings and truly believe that having health care for all will somehow destroy the U.S. Others have their own axe to grind. Some are just nuts. And probably some just wanted a trip to D.C. But they surely do not represent ALL of America....or even a big slice of it.

All you have to see are the many posters painted of him in blackface which has nothing to do with any issue, and you know it reeks of racism.
