    We've now moved into an era where using the term "racist" is now a racist thing to do. As roachboy said, it's pure projection.

    Demonizing all of Obama's policies as being socialist makes as much sense as demonizing all Republicans as authoritarian plutocrats bent on turning America into a theocratic police state.

    Imagine responding to everything Boehner or the Tea Party members of Congress put forth with: NO! We don't want America to become a theocratic police state. NO! Boehner is an authoritarian! BOO! This is America. We like liberty! The power belongs to the people, not those rich Tea Partiers. Their agenda is the agenda of the rich! They want the rich to have full influence over every election. If we let them have their way, our votes won't matter ever again.

    If you're going to parse language for racism (re: Obama), the birther "HE'S A MUZLIM!!!" nonsense was clearly the thinly veiled anger about the audacity of electing a black president.

    Oh, come on, now. He really could have been a Muslim.

    And you know Muslims aren't allowed to be president.

    Nope, you must be Christian. But not just any Christian. Kennedy was Catholic, and that was a PROBLEM. Obama went to a black church with a preacher who HATED AMERICA, so he's clearly one of them Muslim Christians

    It's the race card card. Shit's meta.

    Eventually, we're just going to call each other out for pulling cards. We'll say things like "quit pullin cards, ya rotten bastard!"

    I heard that her husband likes pulling gay things...

    "quit pullin' cards, ya rotten bastard" in an Irish accent. Say it to yourself.

    I've yet to hear a single cogent argument that doesn't involve the color of his skin. Not one

    I'm a racist because I'm "white".
    I'm a sexist because I'm a man.
    I'm gay just like Michelle's husband...I wonder if they play cards?
    Can we take a little trip back to the thread, unless it's over?
    I predict our President will win again. His competition don't use work boots. I missed a post that said Michelle's campaign has been helped by the cover? Oh, well, I'm malnourished, & I don't blame him or her or my users.

    It's not like there is any shortage of unflattering pictures of Obama, Bush, or Hillary Clinton in the press. It comes with the territory. If it hasn't been Photoshopped, it would be fair game, to me.

    It would be sexist to exclude Bachman.
