(17,990 posts)...the socialist crap, etc. is all a cover for what they really think. Fortunately what they really think isn't socially acceptable, even down here in the south. They disliked Clinton, but not nearly to this level of hate. When you back them into a corner, which isn't hard to do, it always comes down to "he's a black guy in the White House." I've been in a couple of those "conversations" where it devolved to me telling them to just admit it...they hate the guy because he's black. They of course go nutzoid at that point. The fact is, deep down they're racists, but don't have the gumption to openly admit it. I have more respect for the stormfront nut jobs. At least their honest about their bigotry. No pretzel twisted, illogical arguments as socially acceptable cover for what they really think.
