37. I honestly think race has always been a secondary motivator, GENERALLY speaking.

Nov 2014

For many redneck conservatives, it's probably THE prime problem; however, I think the Republican/Teapublican establishment would have given just as much sh*t with just as much vigor to ANY Democratic president these last few years, because they simply see Democrats as illegitimate, unpatriotic, and unAmerican. The whole "being black" thing only widened the scope of attack, and made it easier to dog-whistle additional yahoos into the fold.

Is race a big important part of the knee-jerk criticisms leveled at the President? You bet. But does anyone really believe a white Dem would've had any easier a time with the right-wing media or the Teapublican Congress? The venom leveled at Reid, Pelosi, or ANY white Dem is pretty strong stuff all by itself.

However, I do wonder how a black Republican would be treated by the rednecks as their President...
