I'm still trying to figure out how this whole fiasco went from ill-timed outburst, to claims of... racism?
The funny thing is, I haven't spoken with a single person yet who thinks this was anything more than a frustrated legislator voicing his objection at an (admittedly) less than appropriate time. That's it. To think that complete idiots like this Dowd character (and others -- including a certain peanut farmer who, ironically, is the very definition of inappropriately voiced opinions) are even given any face time for their lunacy smacks of true racism -- racism against my sanity! (What, it's not possible to be racist against sanity? Apparently it's possible to be racist for voicing one's disagreement with a particular stance on an issue, so considering that, I don't see how my argument is any less valid!)
Seriously though -- if you are one of the minority who are actually buying into this whole bucket of hogwash, please do us all a favor and just. go. away. Personally, racism would be so dead last it's nonexistent on the list of why I think Obama (and his assorted minions) are the most dangerous people in the United States.
