Has anyone ever made a list of racist remarks about Obama?
I hear SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much from the right "I'm not racist just because I disagree with Obama, I'm so sick of being accused"... crap. I've heard it so many times I could puke.

Alot of these people have NEVER heard about the countless news stories of republican officials forwarding racist emails, tea party leaders speaking racist etc. They haven't seen the racist signs at tea rallies. Is there any great list showing all this stuff?

1. i don't think so, but perhaps you should start compiling one
i'm sure you'd get plenty of contributions. it'd be good to have a blog or s/t devoted to compiling racist attacks on obama

2. Be real.
Any attempt at a complete list would be longer than the health care reform act (small type or large type edition) and it would be impossible to get every thing.

3. Damn - that would require a REALLY expensive web server plan!
And years of work to compile, just from FOX alone! You would need a whole team to even brush the surface.

4. Need to compile a Youtube
I'll help with finding the clips if someone else wants to put them together. We need to go back to the campaign because there was some crazy-ugly stuff going on then too.

9. There are hundreds of published photos of Republican racist posters but that doesn't matter
to today's right wing. They've been liberated from truth telling. Conservatives proudly own most of the mass media. Only a few token liberal shows will point out the many blatant contradictions, a.k.a. lies, of the GOP and conservative opinion leaders. Facts do not matter. They are Fox viewers. They'll shout what they are told to shout.

They don't care that they didn't storm the town halls when Bush gave two tax cuts to multimillionaires in a time of two wars. No one told them to get riled up and no one sent Tea Party buses to get them going, and the millions in funding from industrialists for those "genuine grass roots groups that have been around for years" don't get used until Democrats are in charge again.

Only when the majority of voters want significant change in a liberal direction are these "genuine grass roots groups" shifted into high gear by the right wing PR groups that run them.

And since conservatives own most of the mass media, the facts about right wing corporate interests and right wing billionaires' funding the "genuine grass roots groups" don't get the coverage they deserve. And the broadcast networks give the "genuine grass roots" demonstrations much more coverage than they gave to any protests during the Bush Cheney years.
