More BS. Very little of it is. It is fearmongering by the Left to make associations that don't exist and to demonize the opposition.

My brother (the conservative one) has been sending me emails about all the bailouts Obama started. But most of the bailouts were started by Bush, something that is lost on many people who are crying about Obama's socialism. In addition, many of them are now claiming the recession is Obama's fault, even though it began BEFORE he was even elected! And this brother of mine is not stupid, even though it he is acting stupid by sending this crap out and thereby helping to facilitate the nonsense. I do believe he is racist, even though I don't believe he knows he is. He is a "polite" racist. He has racist tendencies, but he isn't aware of them.
Not important to the greater discussion. Sorry you think your brother is a racist for opposing Obama.

ummm, it isn't the left stirring up fear with death panels, and talk of the president not being legitimate because he wasn't born here (which of course we all know he is and he was), or talking about rationing healthcare, and secession. That is all coming from the whaco extremists on the right. The FEAR is coming from the right.

I don't think he's racist for opposing Obama, I think he's racist for other reasons. And as I said, I don't think he believes he is. But, he is.
