Teabaggers Hate Being Called Racist

almost as much as they hate black people

para-phrasing Bill Maher

because the truth, often, hurts.

The text of the post should read 'almost as much as they HATE black people.'

I've learned over time at DU to fill in the gaps on my own.

that they were not racist.

There is already too much photo and video evidence of the racism that runs through their movement, recorded. See, this is where the power and accessibility of media these days is not a good thing (for them).

Delusional people react quite badly to challenges to their delusions.

. . . unbelievable.

Opposition to Obama is racist?
According to a worthless and irrelevant old former President, any opposition to Barack Hussein
Obama and his policies is based on race. In other words, the country that elected him is now racist
because his poll numbers are falling and his allure is fading. At least that's Jimmy Carter's take on it.

Of course, when his poll numbers are up, race relations in America are improving. But, let his poll
numbers fall, well then all bets are off, and the "race card" is played.

So now the question becomes how to marginalize a significant protest against a politician or policy
you support? Well, first you can lowball the numbers then dismiss participants at those large rallies
as deranged and potentially dangerous "kooks." In the case of the massive Sept. 12 protest in
Washington, D.C., consider it done and done.

This protest has been categorized as a small protest yet real number estimates place the crowd at
least 1,000,000 because it filled the 1.5 miles between the south White House and the U.S. Capitol,
spilling out all over the National Mall and even down the street to Union Station.

Of course, Democratic politicians focused their attention on what they termed signs that were "on
the racist side." They were radical portrayals of Obama. Among the dozen or so pieces of evidence
offered was a placard claiming "Ayn Rand is right," and one of Barack Obama with the caption
"When his lips move . . . he's lying."

If calling the commander in chief a liar is the new racism then Americans have been boiling in hate
long before Barack Hussein Obama was elected. I seem to recall seeing more than one sign saying
"Bush lied." Or, more than a few portraying George Bush as Hitler.

It was more than predictable. When Barack Obama's poll numbers began to tumble some of his
supporters in journalism and politics returned the old days when the label "racist" could end any
discussion and send the accused scurrying for cover in a stunned silence or a groveling repentance.

I suspect that tactic won't work this time because Obama supporters will have a pretty difficult
explaining how a mostly white nation elected a black president in November and has now, almost
12 months later, become a racist majority.

Racism has always been a one-way street for liberals, a street paved with gold.

Think back on the confirmation process of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court.

Lefties then called him a "handkerchief head Negro" and an "Uncle Tom." Former Secretary of State
Condoleeza Rice, black like Mr. Obama, grew up in Birmingham, Ala., at the time of the church
bombing by the Ku Klux Klan, but she got no respect whatsoever from the Left as she ascended the
ladder of success.

It was the same thing with Colin Powell who was strongly criticized by the Left for adding credibility
to the claim Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. He was even called a
"house Negro" if I'm not mistaken by a has-been Calypso singer.

According to liberal orthodoxy, black people can never be racist because they are members of a
victim class created by white liberals as a kind of modern plantation to keep blacks voting for liberal
Democrats.

What's going on isn't hard to understand. Even before he proposed massive changes in health care
and energy, Obama's first wave of big-government policies - auto bailouts, Wall Street welfare, and
just-spend-it economics - were creating a massive pushback on the part of average Americans. "Fly
over country."

Unfortunately, Obama's supporters in the media would rather write it off to racism and an attitude of
"some people can't believe or accept the fact a black man is president" rather than face the plain,
simple fact a lot of folks just plain don't like Socialism.

So, now we have the specious theory that any and all opposition to Obama is simply because of the
color of his skin.

In my humble opinion, there is a much better explanation for Obama's growing opposition: it has
less to do with his ethnicity and more to do with his credibility. After all, real character is colorblind.

A. racist
