displayed in the "Obama Waffles" (various threads are going on about this story)?

Or, have you always been aware how prevalent it is but hoped it would remain in the closet, so to speak?

I don't think Obama needs to address it at this stage, but for anyone else, including us, to deny the reality that racism and bigotry lies at the heart of this election is, IMO, negligent.

It is even at the heart at the fundie movement.

I've been screaming it from the rooftops, not allowing racists to cloak it in their right-wing brand of christianity, in the smear campaigns of "he's a muslim," the pledge lie, "there's just something about him..."

BULLSHIT - Just say you don't want to vote for him -- and that the idea of him WINNING - terrifies you because he's BLACK!!!

I say GOOD if they are coming out into the open about it. It NEEDS to be brought out into the open. Allowing them to stay in the shadows is what is dangerous.

They are indeed very dangerous, especially with Palin in the mix.

We can't hide from this. They HATE being all "politically correct" and not saying what they want to say; that's usually left up to the "librul pussies."

No, let them say what they want to say. Let the world see their racist, hypocritical, ignorant, Limbaugh-loving asses for what they are.

Pathetic excuses for humans who disgrace Jesus and Christianity. They are NOT Americans, they are not patriotic.

BTW, the creationism issue....all of the fundie-related shit, comes down to racism which, of course, is based on fear.
