You Know The Racists Who Went Nuts Over The Mixed-Race Cheerios Girl?
Those are the people who HATE the president. If they lose their mind over a Mixed Race Little Girl who has horribly offended them by eating Cheerios, imagine how they feel about living under President Obama.
These are the same people who descend like a flock of vultures onto media websites to leave horrible, hateful comments on stories about the President, about teachers, about liberals and Democrats. These are the people leading the shrieking mob who wants to see the birth certificate, who want the guns IN the schools, who put the targets on the Democrats that they don't like. These are the Freepers and the Creepers and the Cave Dwellers.
And they never stop looking for more poison to throw at the President, and they never stop screaming about who they hate now. But lately they are even more hateful and desperate. Their hatefulness has turned the youth vote and the minority vote against them. They are freaking out because they know they are very close to losing the House in the next elections. So they are losing their sh*t and they are running in their little circles faster than ever, screaming and pulling their hair out.
And they are pulling out every stop to throw some crap on the Democrats. They are looking through meeting notes from three years ago and four years ago and they are searching for anything that can be taken out of context to make the Democrats look bad.
Their goal is to discourage Democrats from voting. Their goal is to drive a wedge between Democratic supporters. Their goal is to blow every story up into the worst thing Democracy has ever faced and their goal is to make sure that the country never elects a mixed race President again. (And to make sure that companies like Cheerios don't hire a little mixed race girl again).
When we start screaming and running around, when we start fighting amongst ourselves, then we are following the script these racists have started.
I'm not running around in a circle screaming. I am going to wait until more of the facts are out. I'm going to stay calm and reasonable and remind myself that DUers have been warning us that the Patriot Act is full of provisions that allow just what everyone is freaking out about. We already knew this was happening, we just didn't know the particulars.
But these stories against the President are hitting the news one right after another, each of them seemingly on topics that were discussed in meetings in front of the people who are now helping to break the stories. This is just what they did to Clinton. Rapid fire mud-slinging until something sticks. It can be proved untruthful later, after the damage is done.
If you are screaming for Obama's head, if you are leaving the Democratic Party, Congratulations, those racist Cheerio's people finally got you to do what they wanted. They got you to help spread their message.
I'm still a Democrat. I don't like this but I will leave it to Merkly, Warren, some others I trust, to figure out the details. I stand with the President. I stand with my party. And, above all, I stand against most of what the Republicans have to offer.

It's not right to hate any man, including the President of the United States, for the color of his skin or the cultural background of his ancestors.
However, to declare that ANY criticism of him for his policies is "racist" is just fucking wrong.
or with the Cheerio's YouTube trolls. Good luck with this argument.
