We may not like Republicans but we don't seem to hate them the way that they hate democrats.

Not to take away from the repugnant racist tactics they have used but look what they did to Kerry and his service. Democrats would never vilify a veteran's service like they did. They will use anything and everything to win.

That doesn't mean there isn't a hell of a lot of racism directed at the President, but vilification is common as ragweed.

For being a D, but undeniably also for being a black man in the white house. Undeniable!
