"Time to Make the White House White Again"

That was the bumper sticker I saw on an F250 Ford pickup in Palm Beach County. Maybe I'm oblivious but that is the first overt Obama racist bumper sticker i have seen. What a sick fuck. I was fuming.

Maybe the self identification is good ....?

I see it as akin to wearing a sign: "I'm an ignorant f*ck"

I thought I had heard the worst. My friend saw one that said "Vote republican in 2012. Don't renig" It doesn't gain my sympathy, but at least that one shows pathetic ignorance with the play on words.
If someone is disgustingly racist I find some comfort in thinking they're stupid, too.

I can be a smartypants.

Seriously, after being involved with the Holocaust remembrance for decades now, I know how bright those Nazis were.

The conference at Wannsee, where the "final solution to the Judenfrage" was worked out, was composed of really bright people.

While the elimination of Jews and other "undesirables" was morally wrong. The families of those who were slaughtered can trace back their beloved because the Nazis were soooo precise.

Never underestimate your enemies. Respect their intelligence and fight them on those grounds. They are evil.

Like here in LA County we can be an example to the world as a people who live together in harmony, justice and peace.

with morals, ethics and compassion. Someone can be brilliant and have no scruples or compassion whatsoever. I've unfortunately known (and stayed away from) some quite virulent racists who were also brilliant intelligence-wise. A couple of them were even college professors.

You liberals and your race bating! You always want to accuse conservatives of being racists when they never ever are under any circumstance.

lol, maybe its the lack of inflection inherent in online communication that makes it easier to miss sarcasm.

Saying 'you Liberals' is one of those uses that tends to be odd for a Liberal to use.

I hear comments like this regularly. What hurts me is the worst remarks comes from those who profess to be Christians. Jesus loved and taught to live everyone of different colors. Think they should ask more often wwjd. They sure don't have any running which can hold a candle to Obama on his worst day when they are on their best.

right out front for all to see? It's like seeing a "Tea Party" bumper sticker. I translate it into, "Hi, I'm a racist, ignorant tool for the 1% and incapable of original thought."
