This will be my one and only post in this thread: The introduction of race on several fronts this past week (not just Carter) is an attempt to give those who support the healthcare plan a trump card when they hear opposition. When those who support hear from those who oppose they are now granted the freedom to say "Oh, they just don't like the black president, I don't even have to hear the arguments." Since well respected Liberals suggested it, it's now available as a defense for the commoners. The end, you can lock the thread.
P.S. The poster of the witch doctor is racist and does not accurately reflect the intent of the administration. It does satirically represent the ultimate result of government healthcare, but not the intent.
