So is BillO the Clown.

Of course their true goal is to get the white man to vote white.

I know ... I'm a white guy in my 40s. The right wing racist code words are like a second language for me.

Obama could cure cancer, invent a water purification system that ensured everyone on the planet had clean water, and a chunk of these right wing lunatics would stilL hate him and OPPOSE using those advances.
