Come on, there's no way a BLACK MAN can be President without some kind of trickery!

What is, "How do you sum up the Birthers, the Tea Party---and now the Deathers---in one sentence?"

Good. Let's stay with the category: I'll have Racist Conspiracy Theories for $800, Alex.

2. Of course. You knew that was going to happen.

Didn't you get the memo from Hannity? Racism is such a vicious charge, such a despicable thing to say about someone, that it ought not be said period.

Neat the way that works.

9. And yet

Hannity (in particular) is constantly blasting anybody who dares to suggest that blacks have ever been victims of discriminatory policies imposed by a white majority

11. Hannity doesn't bother me all that much

Neither do O'Reilly or Palin, as all three of them are just dumb. Bachmann and Beck do bother me, because both of them are fucking insane.

13. Hannity = Corporate Backed Pandering to Regressives

So that the Regressives among us will vote for tax breaks and deregulation for corporate America.

6. Heaven Knows why someone would do that...

I loves me a good Robert Plant lyric reference! Especially one that fits so perfectly... well done.

Tall Cool One! I'm a Plant devotee! I watched Band of Joy perform on "The Artist's Den" on PBS last week... He didn't do enough solo work for my taste, but he did Down to the Sea, and it was brilliant! I love the lyric: Life is a big tambourine, the harder you shake it the better it seems. This is not wisdom, these are just words from the sea. I gave myself chills just typing that!
s
Watching the ships pass by me... friendships and small ships and hardships and dreams.

I've always been a Led Head, but I really appreciate Plant's solo works... Page's too! Very special people.

4. I just hate this race baiting

What they were doing to John Kerry was just as bad as what they were doing to Obama. Had Kerry been elected, the hatchet job would have been just as bad.

Sure, many of these people are racists, but their religion is blind adherence to right-wing ideology no matter the consequences.

This victim-hood for every black person just because he's black has gotten old. They hate Obama because he's a Democrat.

These asshole Republicans don't have any problems celebrating JC Watts, Tomas Sowell, Walter Williams, or even the nutboob Alan Keyes...whoops, I just called Alan Keyes a name. I must be racist now.

5. Let's agree on this point:

They will use whatever they can to muddy the waters. In Obama's case, there's some serious dog-whistle racism going on. In other words, where Kerry had one angle they could attack, Obama has two. It's the black tax. One more vulnerability, one more mortal spot they can attack to reach their fans.

8. "They hate Obama because he's a Democrat."

Yes, but they hate him more because he's black.

I always bust a gut when someone complains about the "race card." Whites have been playing it for centuries!
