"The whole of the "anger at government" movement is predicated on this.

I've noticed the left is pretty angry their agenda isn't being enacted quickly and completely enough for them. Some Democrats on firedoglake are proposing doing away with the Senate. And here on SI we see this example of rage against Obama on a liberal thread:

Imo Obama is most likely bisexual, the way he fails to respond to aggression and his willingness to be everybody's bit** indicates a sexually submissive personality.

Just looks at his relationship with Lieberman, he is engaging in classic abused spouse manner ... Lieberman keeps dishing it out and Obama keeps coming back for more.

It wouldn't surprise me if he has engaged in homosexual prostitution at some point during his life.

Back to Olbermann:

And the president is black. But you can't come out and say that's why you are tuning into Keith and Chris and Rachel on MSNBC.

Say that, and in all but the lifeless fringes of our society, you are an outcast.
…
But facts don't matter when you're looking for an excuse to watch a segregated news channel (but not because the President is black). Anything you can say out loud without your family and friends bursting into laughter at you, will do. And this is where HuffPo and Kos and MSNBC come in.

But recognize what this backlash is, and you can free yourself of this movement built of inherited fears, and of echoes of 1963 or 1873. Look at who is leading you and why and look past the blustery self-justifications and see the fear — the unspoken, inchoate fear of those who are different.

If you believe there is merit to your political argument, fine. But ask yourself when you tune in MSNBC on television, or listen to Keith rant and Chris say he forgot Obama was black for just an hour as if it was just a coincidence that they are virtually segregated.

Ask yourself: Where are the black faces? What are we afraid of? Ask yourself one final question: Why are you watching a channel whose lineup consists of nothing but people who look exactly like you?"
