(62,325 posts)of racism without a shred of evidence, is a new low even for them, it is merely a sign of the desperation they feel trying to defend the indefensible. I know about racism and it is crystal clear these people have no clue. But yes, a despicable thing to use something so tragic, so evil, against their fellow Democrats as a mere tool to try to distract from the real issues and failing. But that is precisely why I am unaffected by anything they say. They have zero credibility except among their own very small group.
No wonder minorities don't come here. People who know about racism are saddened to see something so important dimished to nothing but a political tool. I go to minority blogs, which are excellent btw, and as I have been told, when I asked why they do not frequent the big Dem forums, 'they do not represent our issues' There is as much criticism of this administration's policies on those blogs as there is everywhere else.
So true regarding not representing issues important to the poor and to minorities. We see people, the same ones insulting minorities with their cavalier use of other people's suffering to try to score a point, SUPPORTING cuts to SS and Welfare and Medicaid, Medicare, and excusing the bailouts for the wealthy for partisan purposes.
If you understand the desperation that is driving this, it won't affect you personally, people have to have some credibility to be taken seriously. I don't take them seriously at all.
Regarding the NSA talking points memo, I saw it here on DU yesterday.

Remember as you read them, the FISA Court has no authority to issue warrants on domestic intelligence. I am totally confused now with all their changing stories. Anyhow, this memo doesn't include the race card so there must be others, or they have updated them! Lol!
