Obama – Racism – The bad news – And the good news.

[Cyrano]

No one needs to be told that, for the most part, Tea Baggers, Republicans and other variations of wingnuts are bigots. They hate Obama because he’s black and he’s in the White House.

The bad news is that racism is alive and well in America. And not just in the South. It’s thriving in far too many regions countrywide. It’s thriving everyplace that intolerance is taught – rural, urban, or suburban.

But here’s the good news. Obama is in the White House because a majority of black, brown, white, yellow and red people voted for him. The racists lost the 2008 election because there are more of us than there are of them.

So how do we make it happen again in 2012? It’s going to be a lot harder. The bigots are out in full force. The owners of the voting machines are working around the clock to “arrange” the proper vote. And the right wing propaganda machine is loading up its usual arsenal of hatred.

Many of us here (me included) have bitched about many things that Obama has or hasn’t done. But here’s the bottom line. He’s going to be our 2012 candidate. Would you rather see Obama reelected, or would you rather see some certifiably insane Republican/Tea Bagger behind the steering wheel?

Let’s do everything possible to reelect Obama and save what’s left of America. And let’s try to keep the Huns on the fringes and diminish the destruction they can cause.

1. It's like Bill Maher said not all tea bagging R's are all racists but all racists

are tea bagging R's. Why is that is rather simple to explain tea bagging R's don't want anyone they deem as others to have the same rights,wages and entitlements that they enjoy and will go as far as destroying things they enjoy to stop others from getting those things. They are like the spoiled child who breaks his toys so his siblings can't play with them. They haven't grown up.

2. No, they are not children breaking toys. They are people who hate.

They are ignorant. They are dangerous. They are dispicable. They really need their own planet far, far away from us. Or we need our own planet far, far away from them. Let the haters deal with the haters and leave the rest of us out of it.
