Angry White Guys And Crackers Barking Up The Wrong Tree

All these angry white guys blaming liberal, blacks, and other minorities for their plight are barking up the wrong tree. They are voting for the very politicians who are screwing them. The GOP has been very good at directing their anger in the wrong direction. You would think they would figure out the culprit.

Sadly propaganda works so well. During this Colorado recall I noticed that the supporters are lower middles class poor whites. Most of these people seem to be white supremacists and tea baggers. One of our people happened to be in a restaurant where they were meeting. Few of the recoilers are actually local. Many are from out of state and even fewer live in the district where the recall is being pushed, And the biggest supporters are white guys between 45 & 60.

In fact truckers show support. And a guy driving a Good Will truck flipped off my wife. So go figure. These people are so misguided as are many white guys who do not understand that their lives will not improve as long as they vote GOP and force Dems to the right.

GOPPER leadership and white CEO's are the ones tanking their jobs. And there are a number of white women who are pro gun.

it's not even well done - IT'S SO FREAKING OBVIOUS - it's not that they're convincing these misguided fools what to think - it's that they are TELLING THEM WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR

There us no way to reach them. The hot anger and hate is palpable. They are like a bunch of rabid dogs willing to strike out at any time. The atmosphere reminds me of the hate and sectarian strife in Northern Ireland. The hate is deeper than I have ever seen.
This Colorado recall is like being in the midst of a civil war. And the entire recall is really about race hatred and anti Semitism.

It is not just about guns. It is about white supremacy and KKK attitudes.

Their anger is genuine, and their targets are innocent. If we could only figure out the primary source of their anger, we might be able to reach them. Sadly, I suspect most of them can't admit what's really driving all this anger and backlash.
