(5,714 posts)I suppose you think that legally charged/bail-jumping rapist Julian Assange is a paragon of moral virtue, or that President Obama-the first black President, mind you-is a "fascist." Which reminds me re: the word "fascist": Considering that in the past, you have quoted Holocaust deniers and other professional anti-Semites, I wouldn't be so quick to use that slur.
Anyway, you need to realize that, while you obsess over the "BFEE" supposedly having John F. Kennedy assassinated over five fucking decades ago (despite being repeatedly debunked by actual experts-who you arrogantly dismiss as "government shills" , and you imply that President Obama can't possibly measure up to Kennedy or Truman or FDR or whatever White Male Democrat Of The Past (TM) who faced radically different conditions from what Obama faces today (in so many ways)...you need to realize that there are black people/people of color, women, the LGBT community, and others who remember the mid-20th century, and for that reason, are immediately suspicious of your "Paradise Lost" narrative where America was "permanently' murdered on November 22, 1963, and that it's "been downhill ever since."
Bullying tactics? So feminists/women, racial minorities, and the LGBT community are the "bullies" now? Obama supporters, who-contrary to your own reflexive conspiratorial absolutist worldview, actually are capable of looking at politics realistically, pragmatically, and reasonably-are the "bullies" now? Uh huh. Right.
It is a fact that white racism has played a huge part in the resistance to Obama-not just among the Right, either, but on this very board where Democrats and progressives supposedly are dominant! Why are you so resistant to acknowledging this? Instead of being so angrily defensive and dismissive, perhaps you ought to ask the African-American posters here how they perceive white liberal racism in the Age of Obama. Unless, of course, you dislike learning new things that challenge your own preexisting worldview...
