We need to get over being shocked at what they're reaction to or how they're reacting. They don't care what Obama says. They don't care that he may be right or wrong or speaking in foreign tongues. They only want to destroy him and his Presidency. He could be green or lily white like they are. He's a Democrat and not a Republican and that's all that matters.

If it were only about racism then where's the virulent hatred towards Michael Steele or Bill Crosby or Will Smith and all the other big box office mega stars like Lawrence Fishburne, Jamie Foxx, Queen Latifa or comedians like Chris Rock and Whoopie Goldberg and Wanda Sykes? Oprah would never have made it to be one of the wealthiest women in the world.

The thing that motivates them is their burning desire to destroy everyone who isn't what they think they should be. They hate the party that believes government should be pro-choice, pro-marriage and pro-equality for all, even in health, education and opportunity. If you aren't in an intimate relationship with your gun and don't hate anyone who isn't straight, a true blue believer in Capitalism, white and a God Fearing Christian Fundamentalist then you're the minion of the devil himself, out to destroy them who they naturally believe to be the good and virtuous. Their preachers and life long teachers tell them so in church and in school. Land of the Brave and Home of the Free is about them only. The rest of us are transplanted slaves and wannabes wanting to take what they alone have accomplished.

Their hatred for Hillary is just as intense and just as insane. They didn't hate Condi at all. We never once heard a racial slur against her or against Colin Powell. The criticisms came form us, and not for what race they were, but for their enbling of George Bush and the Right wing policies. The idiocrats are just as profound in their crass ability to brazenly throw around sexist and misogynist insults against anyone who doesn't think like they do. But they love Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter. The only difference is that they're conservative and Hillary isn't. At least not in their estimation.

If Obama were ragingly anti-abortion and pro-gun and were just like Bush he would be quite acceptable to them.

Racism isn't a fundamental thing. It's a result of deep seated fear of something that threatens their way of life. It's a learned reaction to profound insecurity which thinks their very existence is in jeopardi.

They fear being on the wrong side of the lynching party because they judge others by their own actions. It never occurs to them that they won't be lynched, because they can only think within the limitations of their own perceptions and intelligence.
