the thing about Obama is he doesn't play by the old-boy network rules. He doesn't necessarily cater to the press or the lobbyists or the collateral lines of power that have been in place for a long time, and that's pissed a bunch of people off. (Makes me happy though). Whether or not the birthers or teapartyists are racist, well--how do you prove a negative? How do you prove hatred?

I certainly do have the impression that many of these people are motivated by racism. Probably Merc was right to call me on it when I called the original birther guy posted about racist, because it's true, I have no proof of that. nothing in the articles I read mentioned a racist motivation. But just because it's "convenient" to attribute a racial motivation to those opposing our president . . . doesn't mean it's not true, at least partially.
