    Is "name calling" and labeling racist?

    Is "name calling" and labeling racist?

    America has divided itself in a cold civil war or Dems and Reps. Both sides have opinions...that is the way the process works. But we now see slander as the chief tool of persuasion. Attempts to make a subject, bill or opinion or simply a valid question...appear to be so ludicrous and stupid that they will drive people away from it.

    One prime example is the eligibility question. How a constitutional issue could divide a Nation stands as a testament to how far we have descended as a Nation. America looks like a class room of first graders. But a teacher would not allow such behavior!

    1. People have a constitutionally protected right to question.

    2. The question could have been mitigated with Obama providing the birth certificate that he has "sworn" exists.

    In view of these two statements...how did this insanity and horrible name calling division come to this? Name calling and branding should not be a tool used to attack the Constitution and the constituency of America.

    This same tactic is being used to brand the immigration issue. It really is not right nor should it be allowed...I think it is just as Racist as any name calling is. IMHO

    I don't know about "racist"

    but all of the name calling all over the internet is childish and immature at best. IMO

    I think that the news media had a place of discovery and dirt finding. I don't think mud should come from the platforms. It is degrading and insulting to the American people, when they should simply be talking about what they believe in and what they are proposing. There needs to be a line drawn in what is acceptable campaigning and simply slanderous time waisting. Politics would stick with politics and let the news have their smut flinging place back. IMHO...

    That is not what I am saying at all hardlineconstitutionalist. Why is it Racist issue? It is not a proper way to address problems or situtations but it is ALSO NOT NECASSARILY A RACIST ACT. But as JohDoe2 said a childish or immature act.

    Can you honestly say this does not exist on both sides of the table and in many battles? I know you can not do that . And there are times where people do not feel they are being heard and use a louder tone of voice or some asssortment of vulgarity. Which in some cases works! And again is not a racist act.

    Politicians do not use a vulgar word per say, but their attacks on other opponents or in some cases against the American populous are vulgar in many ways. but I would not classify all these attacks as being "racist" And that is what your question was.

    I also think in many cases people talk of "racist" when in fact it is more of a "prejudice" for any number of reasons

    You're making my point. How can wanting laws upheld be racist? People that brake laws have no standing as a "race". Yet that seems to be where we are today with this "racist" tag. But if the view point or person does not agree with you...name calling in the name of "racist" seems to legitimize the slander as PC. This is an issue that needs to be addressed. It is causing way to much dissension and lawlessness. It is a reverse racist tactic that is every bit as racist as any form of racism or bigotry. IMHO

    All this garbage about racism is a deliberate ploy to distract people. Don't fall for it! By the very act of discussing "RACISM" on this post, we are fulfilling the original intent. This is all such BS. How about let's list out all the "horrible" names given to groups and get it out of our collective systems. Maybe I'll be censored:

    Mod Edit

    etc, etc, ad nauseum.

    Now, did any of these words give you a sudden case of hemorrhoids or dingy fever? Are you damaged? I'm a cracker and you can call me one all day long and I'm not going to sit around sobbing and wringing my hands over this. Why? Because it's only frickin' words and name calling!!! I judge a person by his character and if he's a dips MOD EDIT or an Mod Edit I call him that. People need to grow up and get over this deliberate distraction being put out there by Obama and his communist/socialist ....pick your poison....anti American minions. Therein lies the clear and present danger to all of us. Not words.
    ...I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid...
