Symptoms include a glassy-eyed stare, uncontrollable twitching upon hearing the word "Pelosi," and an urge to wear white sheets.

With the internet we are aware of many more events.

Republicans are looking for events mainly concentrating on the actions of an African American President who in other circumstances they would praise. Mix a good dose of Melonophobia among Republicans.

I have been known to bait Republican acquaintances who sometimes confuse me as being a friend. Without fail 100% of the time without use of any racial slurs or insinuation on my part that I might be racist I can get hard core racial slurs from Republicans. What I listen for is the phrase "I have nothing against Barack Obama because he is black" from that point it is easy. I have to thank Carl Rogers and his approach for this skill.
