293. Its NOT "silly". It IS Desperation.

Thu Jun 20, 2013, 04:38 PM

Jun 2013

It IS scraping the bottom of the slime barrel.
After the Butt Hurt they suffered last week by siding with Lindsey Graham and the Republicans who support a Massive Surveillance/Security State ("to protect our freedoms&quot , they are lashing out irrationally at Democrats (again).

There are plenty of rational reasons to disagree with Centrist President Obama on a multitude of issues, not the least of which is a lifelong commitment to the traditional Democratic Party Values of FDR and LBJ.

They are desperately trying to equate strong disagreement on POLICY
with Racism and Hate, an absurd premise I completely REJECT.

If I rejected Republican Policy in the 60s,
I am consistent in rejecting it today,
and that is NOT a diagnostic criteria for HATE or RACISM.
