(5,082 posts)Positively stupid accusing those democrats at DU as RACIST who think Obama is acting like a moderate republican. I can't think of a single reasonable person who would believe such crap. I think many republicans are opposed due to racism and even some CONSERVATIVE democrats who defend wars, NSA, prisons etc but they have an ally with Obama as he hasnt challenged them. I have a big feeling many of the people you are disingenuously calling racist are in fact Black. I almost thought this post was sarcasm or from The Onion. But those of us who are hardcore, left wing, antiwar foot soldiers who carry the torch for freedom and peace will not be affected by this lame, suspect rhetoric no matter how many people I respect cheerlead it. I worked for years for BAM and UCAR and I know what I believe. Totally offensive. Who is trying to divide Democrats now? YOU!!!!! We focus on facts not calling up down, right left, or saying war is peace, freedom is slavery or ignorance is strength. If Obama started cracking down on NSA or Wall St or foreign intervention I wouldn't be surprised if you tried to imply he himself was racist. George Carlin chime in from beyond please.
