Chris Matthews(D) - "Is Sarah Palin the poster girl for racism?"

Paul Krugman today in the NY Times played the same card.

I'll only post an excerpt as the article makes me want to slap this man...

Where's that wall to line 'em up at.....

That is, the driving force behind the town hall mobs is probably the same cultural and racial anxiety that’s behind the “birther” movement, which denies Mr. Obama’s citizenship. Senator Dick Durbin has suggested that the birthers and the health care protesters are one and the same; we don’t know how many of the protesters are birthers, but it wouldn’t be surprising if it’s a substantial fraction.

And cynical political operators are exploiting that anxiety to further the economic interests of their backers.

Does this sound familiar? It should: it’s a strategy that has played a central role in American politics ever since Richard Nixon realized that he could advance Republicanfortunes by appealing to the racial fears of working-class whites.

Don't like Obamacare?

You must be a racist......

This guy is really a Richard Cranium...
aka Dickhead

I guess that article should come as no surprise for the NY Times.  It must be awful to not have the intellectual capacity to realize that people are pissed off because of what Obama is DOING, NOT becuase oif the color of his skin. 

White, black, yellow, green, purple with pink polka-dots, I don't give a crap.....a socialist of ANY color is something that cannot be tolerated if this country wants to live up to, and honor, it's heritage.

Exactly right, I'll say he's a n$#&*r, and any other hateful thing I can think of, but the root of my hatred is his red politics, not his black ass.
