These Liberal Talkers and Carter all remind me of a psychological concept described by Freud, PROJECTION. See if this definition below strikes any chord in this 'firestorm' of racial accusations in this supposedly 'Post Racial' era as inaugurated by the first President with a permanent tan.

Definition of Projection: Projection is one of the defense mechanisms identified by Freud and still acknowledged today. According to Freud, projection is when someone is threatened by or afraid of their own impulses so they attribute these impulses to someone else. For example, a person in psychoanalysis may insist to the therapist that he knows the therapist wants to rape some women, when in fact the client has these awful feelings to rape the woman.

As in Hillary's "vast right wing conspiracy," she really meant her vast left wing conspiracy. How true.
