Opposing Obama is not a Hate Crime

It is the ninth month of the year 2009 of the reign of what was supposed to be our post-racial administration, and racism is a more common topic than ever. Where before racism applied to individuals, now opposing government policies has itself become a racist act.

Politicians and pundits spend enormous amounts of time analyzing the racial implications of Obama posters at rallies, and former President and active bigot, Jimmy Carter crawled out of his cage to proclaim that Congressman Joe Wilson’s famous shout of “You Lieâ€

Liberal used to mean open-minded now it means closed-minded.

And yet the only racial incident I have heard of at the tea parties, town halls and the DC Rally have been by leftists against black demonstrators protesting high taxes, the move to socialism by the Obama administration and large government in genera. (Re the assualt at the St Louis Town Hall and the racism being experienced by a black member of the Tea Party Express [see post elsewhere on ALIPAC]).
