In the end, it’s all about Obama.

That (almost) last line says it all. For them it is all about Obama and how the color of his skin makes them feel. People like this woman are obsessed with color and believe everyone else is too. They can't see past the color of his skin and have no idea that THAT actually is racist.

This *unt wants to be black so badly but she cannot wish her white skin away. Instead... she has blackened her soul with hate and is guilty of the sins of which she accuses those who disagree with her. She is the CONSUMMATE democrat demon.

The growing level of black on white violence (now approaching epidemic levels) is fueled by writers such as this and by progressives in general. The give their implicit approval to all the flash mobs and the "justice for Treyvon" murders by not speaking out against them. They are as responsible for this as are the Mulllahs who incite their uneducated followers to kill innocent people,

Writings like this try to create white guilt. White guilt is why whites stay silent in the face of black on white violence. By not fighting back, it only encourages more violence white at the same time creating black entitlement. Black entitlement is why there is not criticism from black leaders on this issue.

Then again, progressives thrive on violence.

I’ve been hearing this stuff for fifty years. Any attempts to rein in federal spending have always been met with cries of racism directed at people who are trying to keep costs from going out of sight. Walsh is just the latest in a long line of not-too-bright libs who use the epithet of racism to attempt to disguise the fact that liberalism is a destructive vehicle. They shout “racism” because they have no legitimate arguments. Major welfare reforms were undertaken during the Clinton admin. But of course, Clinton wasn’t a nasty racist, he was the first black president. If Reagan or either Bush had done the same thing, the shouts of “racism” would have been deafening.

She views black people as helpless children - and WE’RE the ones who are racists?

Oh Lord, they are frantic when they try to play the race card on this issue.
I wonder what time the White House fax ordering the press to play the race card arrived at the WaPo? Has Mika mentioned it yet?

The regime ans its media army took a cut and dried criminal episode between a person working security and his attacker and perverted it through its propagamda arm into a racial incident and because of it martyrs result . Until the facts get outed figers get pointed at those media sources that were complicit this krap is going to continue and their pretence of using them as reliabile informational sources sustained.

She engages in fantasies instead of research and objectivity, which is an interesting way to write an article.

Who is the fool who paid this fool?

While in Fort Collins, Colorado, I was engaged in a political tiff with some liberal. I brought up a series of constitutional points on why Obama wasn’t doing his job. The liberal’s reply was predictable: “You’re just a racist.”

This is not stupidity. It IS psychotic behavior.

Dear Joan, I’m curious. Do you take drugs or do you need drugs? Seriously. Yes. I hate Obama. Yes, it is about color. He’s red. Your specious accusations that people who are against Obama simply because of race is the most obscene lie ever cast against a patriotic people and is so intellectually dishonest one has to wonder about your sincerity if not your sanity.

Please stop.

Immediately.

You’re right. It is psychotic. Brainwashed groupthink. It’s disturbing that the lib/prog/dem mind is so easily controlled and directed. I don’t trust any prog on any level because they don’t think for themselves. They have a pack mentality, like a mob. And if they can be convinced as a group to chant “racist, racist”, what else can they be convinced to do?

I highly recommend Ann Coulter’s”Demonic.” It covers the mob mentality quite well.

It won’t end until after CW2, if even then.
