"I'm sure the liberals are just concerned about the tea parties going on. They can't believe this is going on w/their annointed one."

--I realize you're obsessed with Obama but not everything is about him or even about politics. You people have been very divisive, reactionary, vindictive, bitter, and vengeful. I personally don't really care what right wingers think of Obama. What concerns me more is that cons have made it clear in the last couple of years that you think America should pursue *your* agenda regardless of election results. That's irrational thinking. You *barely* won in 2000 and yet you people seemed to be stunned by the reaction of those on the left--as if it couldn't be clearer to you that America wanted Bush in the White House. But it wasn't clear.
Cons must understand that just because you make lots of noise (and scare up enough gullible people to make it *look* as if you're a bigger movement than you really are) doesn't mean *everyone* is duped. You also must understand that you can't expect to get what you yourselves aren't willing to give. Obama one the election *DECISIVELY.* I'm sorry if you didn't get anything in return for blindly supporting Bush and the GOP for the last decade or so but attacking Obama out of pure spite isn't a healthy response to your resentment towards the GOP. It's not healthy for you or for our country. -

HARPOONING THE GREAT WHITE WAIL: RACISM, THE SUPREME COURT AND RIGHT-WING BUFFOONERY
Reply
http://www.timwise.org/
For a group that regularly decries what they view as "minority" whining, and the politics of victimization, white conservatives are demonstrating a penchant for the unhinged histrionics of victimhood, virtually unparalleled in modern times. Facing a nation led by a black man, with a black wife and black children, sullying the hallowed halls of a house they long considered white in more than just name, the far-right finds itself in the midst of a prolonged and currently exploding aneurysm, which would be humorous to observe were it not so toxic in its consequences for the nation.
Going off the Rails on a Crazy Train: Right-Wing Lunacy in the Age of Obama
Now, with the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, these same gasbags see yet further confirmation of the takeover of America by hostile colored forces. It is making them insane, literally, as with Bill O'Reilly, who recently stated with a straight (if somewhat contorted and scowling) face, that Sotomayor's nomination is just more evidence that the left "sees white men as the problem," in America.
Reactionary cranks across the radio dial have been trying to outdo one another in the annals of batshit lunacy, and so the rhetoric has been ratcheted up in the past week, from mere statements that Sotomayor is "racist" for suggesting that racial, ethnic and gender identity might affect a judge's sensibilities (an obvious truth devoid of any racism, and to which we will shortly return), to indicting her as a "bigot," "anti-white," and equivalent to David Duke. This latter gem comes from Rush Limbaugh, a man for whom accusing others of racism is more than a little precious. After all, Limbaugh himself once told a black caller to take the bone out of his nose, and has quipped that all mug shots of criminal suspects look like Jesse Jackson....
Sotomayor as a Quota Hire? The Incipient Racism of the Conservative Right
But it isn't only in the assumption of white objectivity (as compared to the presumed capricious and identity-driven subjectivity of the colored folks) that suggests the ongoing presence of white racism in the Sotomayor debate. Even worse has been the way in which white commentators have jumped on the judge's nomination as evidence of affirmative action, by which they of course mean the promotion of less qualified, perhaps even unqualified, people of color to positions they don't deserve, at the expense of more qualified white men.
....So, for instance, we have paleo-bigot Pat Buchanan (who over the past few years appeared twice on a radio show hosted by an overt white supremacist), calling her an affirmative action pick and intellectual "lightweight." This, coming from a man who once praised the "genius" of Hitler.

Money is the root here of what appears to be rasicm. Government uses money to justify the ways and means of everything upon Earth. The conclusion is disparagement, as money does not justify a human being.

disparagement -(1) a communication that belittles somebody or something

---Some of the animosity towards Obama is racially motivated, some of it is motivated by greed, and still more of it is pure spite and vindictiveness.

So he thinks that there's racism in United States and some of it is directed against the President, well welcome to the real world, there's racism everywhere in the world and some will dislike the President because of his color and some will dislike him for his politics and some will dislike him on his policies and actions. Being the President doesn't make you the worlds most popular person, years ago I heard peole making comments on JFK and it was because he was a Catholic, the world never changes because people are people.

Hmmmmm, don't really get how you don't understand what I am asking. If you feel someone is wrong, articulate why you believe that someone is wrong. Just crying about someone crying is doing nothing but placing you side by side with that someone.

Why is Dave wrong about his observation?
