The racism is seeping out, the seep getting strong, a trickle, a stream, a torrent . . .

. . . . and the more the teabaggers get in our faces, the more comfortable they become with being obvious.

This isn't about health care.

This is about race.

They are purely disgusting.

The Left has "left" the identification of calling it pure racism and the Teabaggers have filled in the void. No president in history has faced the vitriol of the Right Wing/Southern Wing as has Obama. He was not my first choice based on his Resume, but in all my years in politics, I've never seen such disrespect.

They just don't even try to hide it anymore, they have become very comfortable with their racism.

I'm not sure why anyone thought it wasn't, or why 3rd Way thought we should be buddies with these guys.

There are several sins being committed in their eyes:

1. The President is a (D). This is impossible, because only (R) Presidents are legitimate and have the country's best interests at heart.

2. He's non-white. Self Explanatory.

3. He offered a friendly hand to them. Only weak people offer compromises. Strong people pick a direction and push everyone else out of the way.
