A great look at the racism which motivates the GOP and the tea baggers.

The Rage Is Not About Health Care

THERE were times when last Sunday’s great G.O.P. health care implosion threatened to bring the thrill back to reality television. On ABC’s “This Week,” a frothing and filibustering Karl Rove all but lost it in a debate with the Obama strategist David Plouffe. [MOD CUT/copyright]

.........or it could be that the bill doesn't actually fix the problems with the health care system.

I don't think this is about "racism," or some fear of becoming a minority (this article plays on ignorance once again... PEOPLE, Hispanic does not automatically equal MINORITY!!! I wish white AND non-white people would learn this already and stop hyperventilating in either fear, or triumph!)

And, OF COURSE "tea baggers" are going to be white. They are the population that would stand the most to lose if communist style socialism were actually coming to America (which it is not). They are probably all mostly middle class and upper middle class as well.

BUT, anyway, this paragraph is instructive:

It contains what used to be considered Republican ideas.

I think the real problem is the explosion of conservative media on the web, radio, and television. Feeding lies and misinformation for ratings, fun and profit. So long as they do not resort to violence, people should let them have their little rallies. It probably makes them feel like they are part of something bigger than themselves. This sentiment and the feeling associated with same is how Obama came in to power.

What a bunch of garbage

I personally think its the democrats that are the racist and using other races for votes. I mean they are the one with the KKK member in there. So it must make it true

The true rage is that the "Great One" campaigned as a centrist and now governs from the far left.

It's pretty clear the racist progressive that wrote that article is deep into his teabagging. The left is terrified that the country is waking up to the decay they pose to this country and society. I imagine the guy that wrote that rant screams like a girl.
