79. Shhhh. There's racism but it will go away if we ignore it.
Not.

It is not stirring the racism pot to point out racist behavior when it happens. It's stirring the racism pot to engage in racist behavior. The "danger" is in pretending it will go away if we ignore it.

The broadcast and print media need to have it pointed out to them as much as possible that this group is not the wonderful cross section of "real everyday hard working law abiding patriotic Americans" they like to pretend they are. MOST self-respecting Americans would not defend or associated with these folks no matter how much they dislike the HCR law.
