Mental quicksand
There is a blog I frequent, a very entertaining and interesting blog based in my home county back in Texass. The comments section, unfortunately, is overrun by bigots, racists, the half-smart and a lot of people who fancy themselves libertarians and/or mavericks of some sort, but who spout the neocon Republican party line like they're getting the same blast faxes Fox "News" gets with their ten-gallon breakfasts every morning.
It is depressing, but not surprising, to find out what this sub-race of people are calling Barack Obama, now that he's the nominee (I assume you can use your imagination to figure out what they're well-accustomed to calling Hillary). Among the most popular are: Obammy (rhymes with beloved black stereotype "Mammy," geddit??), Hussein, Osama, and "brutha" (et. al.). On the other hand, when it suits their ridiculous circular and/or straw man arguments, they love to assail him as basically a limp-wristed champagne-swilling Ivy-League pussy, whiter than your very own sainted grandmama and half as butch.
So which is it, shitheads? Is he a terrorist, a n****r or a white f****t? Do make up your minds so y'all can all get on the one hate train instead of splitting up the base.

amen. i've had to quit reading the comments over there. it's not so much offensive as it is... depressing.
Exactly. :-(
Aaaand, clot thrown.
Even the "democrats" who manage to post a comment here and there are as half-hearted and backward as the rest. Because every.single.time. someone from that crew spouts the merits of Hillary's love for "blue collar America" they are screaming "I AM A RACIST."
And it stinks.
