I got sucked in to the whacked out wingnut craziness...

Oy. Racism.

The very fact that cries of reverse racism have grown so prominent and vocal over the past-year-and-a-half or so makes me weep for America. We are going backwards.

I know this plea will fall on deaf ears but please, why don't you Tea Party people take a step back, shake yourselves, and listen to what is going on?!? Your leaders are writing extremely offensive imaginary letters to Abraham Lincoln implying that blacks have a preference to return to slavery?!?. Are you fucking kidding me????

Your compatriots are waving signs portraying Barack Obama as a witch doctor with a bone in his nose?!?!?

Your buddies are sending you emails in which the White House lawn is a watermelon patch???

Can you not find it somewhere within yourselves to denounce these racist acts? Is it that hard to admit that there is a putrid stench within your midst?

Clearly, this issue goes beyond political differences. You people, and those of your ilk, who are so defensive you will not step up and condemn clear examples of blatant outright horrific racist ugliness, are, quite simply, pathetic cowards.
