>> pretending it doesn't exist. I'm not pretending racism doesn't exist. Hell, I just told you -- you and Koan are the worst I know of. >> The racial hate manifested by Rs against Obama is as plain as the print on this post. The problem is there is no evidence of racial hate manifested by Rs against Obama. I don't hear any Republicans talking about his race. What I hear is people who are outraged at chronic law breaking, incompetence, arrogance, and ignorance. No one gives a shit what color his skin is. Oh really? How many white presidents have been accused of being a Muslim from Kenya even years after a very legitimate birth cert has been provided that says otherwise? How many Dave........I am waiting for your count. People outside the country have asked why an American president has to put up with such racist innuendo, or did you think the whole world is convinced that Obama pulled a fast one on the American electorate and forged his birth cert like you all have alleged? Only racist Rs are making those claims; and only because they are furious that a black man is ruling them. And as for Obama's law breaking which you and your R cohort can never support with any kind of real documentation, where were you when Bush was producing signing statement after signing refusing to obey laws which had been recently passed by Congress; running up the debt; getting us embroiled in two major conflicts for which he was ill equipped to lead; building a nearly billion dollar embassy in a shit hole of a country; letting a major city, NOLA, a black city........sit in its own sewer water after a hurricane; choosing to look the other way as private industry got us into the worst recession since the Great Depression? I never heard a peep out of you. Not one frigging complaint. Obama is a saint by comparison but you can't shut your frigging mouth for even one second, looking for any excuse to attack him. But no, you ain't no racist.......you're part of the New South that loves its Negroes. The claim is sort of silly when you consider that GWB, who most Republicans supported at the time, had the first black Secretary of State, followed by a second black/female Secretary of State and as his most trusted adviser throughout his presidency. You know what.......I'll give you that. I don't think old Bush is as racist as some of the others in his cohort. Frankly I think he's a bit of an odd bird. Doesn't change the fact he should never have been president. You have RAILED against Condi Rice, probably one of the qualified persons to hold the jobs she held, and who indisputably would have made a better president than Obama. So, who is the racist here? Ole Condi supported Bush/Cheney who ran the country into the ground. If she is damn qualified, she hid those qualities well........or she is a huge pushover. Take your pick. You are the people who voted this idiot into the White House. The ONLY person I've ever heard mention his skin color, besides liberals on this message board and others, has been other liberals who are trying to play the damned race card. It is pathetic. Stop doing it. Of course, you Rs don't bring up skin color for obvious reasons.
