It's the only card the right-wing has left - the race card

With nothing else going their way, the right-wing propaganda machine has to fall back on the only thing they know they can count on - racism. Looks like we're going to be in for a full month of "Scary Black Men" as they dig up as much footage they can of Obama telling the truth.

By the time Election Day rolls around, they'll have some people believing that Obama is going to crawl in through their bedroom windows, rape their daughters, and steal their jewelry.

It truly is so pathetic. Hannity has whipped himself up into a clown-like frenzy over this video. He insists that Obama is racist and all sorts of ridiculous accusations are being hurled.

I watched the video earlier. I laughed snd thought...there's no there there. Surely, this will quickly fizzle as a ho-hum and silly attempt to disparage Obama.

Then you turn on Hannity and there he is with his hair on fire. He's calling this "the controversial video" and accusing Obama if using a different dialect and cadence.

Hannity has taken a molehill and turned it into a blazing mountain complete with fireworks and unicorns.

The right wing has sunk to a new, embarrassing low. Who are they trying to attract?? They've all ready got the racists and the kooks. They're going to totally drive away any sane people from their side.

No one, but the insane wing if the Republucan party is going to buy the ridiculous snake oil that they're selling.

Why don't we call these Republicans what they really are...bullies.

Mean eyes and pinched mouths. Nasty ass shit.

If all they can do is talk about what they are against, without a word about what they are FOR, they don't have much, if anything.
