but shit on this president and his mostly female and minority supporters from sun up to sun down. And weep and bray like mules when these folks are shown the door -- YEARS too late -- even after saying that the McCain/Obama showdown in 2008 was the one election they wanted to see overturned. Saying you dislike Obama's policies? Who could fault that? But the idiotic, immature name calling, the questioning of his very morality and humanity, has been beyond the pale here and other "liberal" web sites for YEARS.

And then these same folks sit around, slack jawed, trying to figure out why so many people of color who have seen this snarling, open mouthed hatred for this president, want absolutely nothing to do with them or the vast majority of candidates and issues they support. You would have thought that as long as these people have been in the political wilderness they would have gotten a clue by now but that is apparently never, EVER going to happen.
