No, you're just denying/ignoring it. That's something that does great harm, too.

And you are crying a river. Sob sob nazi chimp sob sob.

Dry eyes for racism, though. Got it.

There's racism, but to wrap all opposition (most?) to Obama as racial is playing the race card.

Playing the race card does great harm too.

It's a sad fact of life Pete, that often we are rightly identified by who we choose for our playmates and what we choose for our playground. If one chooses to put himself in the same pleasure boat with bigots one can always choose to get out of the boat.

It all started with the Birthers campaign way before Obama got elected.

"Yet a poll last week found that 47 per cent of Republican voters believed that Mr Obama, who is a Democrat, was not born in the US. Another 22 per cent said they were unsure."

So who brought race into the politics of this president?

If only Obama was white, I'd fully support his platform

One of Pete's compatriots at the teabagger rally:



But will Pete piss and moan about moderate Muslims not opening their mouths about their radical brethren?

[piece-itpete]

Yeah, I fully support racists in the tea party. Same as I know the OWS guys that would blow up bridges were set up by the FBI.

What do you think about ivory tower intellectuals that despise the commoners they rule?

Pete

Iye-iyeiyeiye. Beers on me.

You have to understand pete, I'm from 60's radical stock. There were assholes out in the streets who more than anything were pissed off but wanted to express it by trashing shit. They were fucked up and it was difficult to keep them away from the reasonable activities. We also had Billy Ayers and Bernie and Diana Oughton and Linda Sue Evans and Mark Rudd, etc. And the Panthers and others. A lot of them were wrong headed. The OWS'ers have to deal with the same idiots now as we did then.

Thing is though what we wanted, what everybody wanted, even what the maniacs wanted more than anything was...social justice. Collectivism. A truly pluralistic social structure. Everybody did...even the violent shitbags had those goals. You can call it whatever you like, but even with all the infighting and conflict over gender roles and radical ideologies we were all on the right side of the fight. All of us.

The OWS'ers are on the right side of the fight.

Teabaggers are on the wrong side of the fight. Shitbag shyster welfare cowboy welchers are on the wrong side of the fight. Ted Cruz is on the wrong side of the fight. White male politicians telling American women they have to have a probe shoved inside them against their will before they can receive medical treatment that is nobody's fucking business, are on the wrong side of the fight. The Koch Brothers are on the wrong side. Soros is on the right side of the fight. Americans, Republicans and Democrats who are happy as pigs in slop with their employer sponsored health care programs and don't give a shit how many poor and sick people die every year who would have otherwise survived with a universal health care system are on the wrong fucking side of the fight.

If you're in the boat with them pete...you're in bed with them as well.

So you deny that Tom's and my points above are well taken? We're just 'playing the racism card?' Let me just say this: that 'card' bromide is crap.

You'd have to know how deep and wide the racism mobilized against Obama is, if you were willing to look. One way not to cry is not to have eyes.

Here's bit of your RW media $ at work. But you won't see the race-baiting here:
