Old-Fashioned Racism

By Dave

Clearly, as has been stated by like a million Republican's, opposition to the President is in no way based on racism. I mean, so what that Joe "You Lie" Wilson also liked to defend confederate flags and was part of a Pro-Confederate group with wacky leaders, or that Rush Limbaugh sings "Barack the Magic Negro", and who cares that Teabaggers like to carry signs like this and this and this and this. And come on, does the fact that someone recently hung Obama in effigy in Georgia really mean that people are racist?....

...Yes. It does.

I acknowledge that people have legitimate policy differences with the President but the undercurrent of anger within the Republican party as well as the veiled threats of violence, and yes, racism are a problem. Honest Republican's and conservatives are responsible for calling this behavior out before it becomes too extreme.
