One problem, though - me thinks their false accusations betray their projection of their own predilections for hate and violence, and yes, racism.
Just listen to what these supposedly peace-loving, tolerant, kumbaya kooks want to do to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas:
When you catch these people in an unguarded moment, you will always find that they are guilty of the very behavior for which they falsely accuse their counterparts. It never fails.
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free... it expects what never was, and never will be." -Thomas Jefferson

I still look back at the teaparty as the first time I saw racism as more than just a minority of people and it broke my heart. Sad you couldn’t see it that way.
I am 30 years old now... and my heart is still broken from what I thought my country was.
The burning of President Barack Obama’s figure hanging from a noose was some thing I saw. It still hurts me.
I wonder as I continue to travel through your blog how far back this goes. If you go back to the Bush era, I can tell you the first time that I knew I was a liberal. And the first time I ever felt hurt by a president.
“Marriage between a man and a woman.”. Obama hurt me plenty with that too. It was disappointing. But I wasn’t old enough to vote until Obama’s second term. I could’ve gone either way the first. But seeing people burn figures of Obama. And the way that he was portrayed by tea party, made me vote for Obama. I felt like he was being vilified and a constant target of racist hate.
It isn’t that I particularly agree with him, but I really do feel is a gut punch when racist come up. And they tried to say that Obama was racist using his preacher as an example, and then just never worked. Because in general I saw those religious figures as bigoted. And he may not necessarily believe what his religious figure said. I remember sitting in church being vilified by my own church.
So that particular attack didn’t work.
Do you know what it’s like to grow up feeling as if you’re hated by your own country? Hated only because you are different? And as a young adult, hated do to disability and hated do to caring for all the people in my country and just wanting everyone to have the best life regardless of how much money they have?
There are some things I really saw in the pledge.... “Liberty and Justice for all” and sadly, that isn’t what I see around me man from the past.
