Not insane -- just a classic response in politics. Nothing new, here.

So by the posting of this picture does that mean that you equate opposition to the current healthcare policy reform is due to racism?

Nope. Interesting that you would read that out of it, though. Just pointing out that the old scare tactic practice of bringing up the political boogeyman is still alive and well. That we give these nutjobs a voice in the news, however, is new. Commies! Brownshirts! Nazis! Keep your innocent child out of school and away from this evil!

I was just curious because I have heard 3 or 4 black commentators say that very thing, opposition to the reform was due to nothing more than racial issues. But on the note of scare tactics, they are being used by both sides of the issue, one to encourage support, the other in opposition.
