(146,284 posts)the Democratic President of the United States reprehensible, and the use of the phrase "piece of shit used car salesman" even more so, I don't see racism in it. I just see gross disrespect. I don't believe that either label should be used on Democratic Underground with reference to President Obama.
DU is not my website, however, so all I can do is express my disgust at such references to the man we all voted for twice to be our President. And I will freely express that disgust.
I still would not use the term racist to describe a person who used such vile labels as "piece of shit used car salesman" in reference to President Obama. They are sufficiently ugly in their own right and should be cause for admonition.
More than that I won't express.
