This rhetoric is beyond the pale. To suggest that the Obama win was due to reverse-racism by African Americans and the self-interest of welfarce recipients (conservative code-word for "blacks") is patently offensive. And let's be sure, that is exactly what the author is suggesting.

---

This comment to an editorial is so beyond lol that I just had to share.  He makes it sound as if the author suggested that Obama won because of blacks voting for him (if you go look at the URL, you'd notice in the quoted text that he made no such mention of blacks voting for Obama, but people voting for Obama to make "history" in a sort of reverse Bradley Effect way) and twisting a suggestion by the author that people may be attracted to Obama, and the democratic party in general, purely for a larger welfare check to make it seem as if he's suggesting that black people eat up and abuse welfare money.

Seriously, how and why do people make such big leaps of logic to go so far out of the way in an attempt to call somebody racist?

Combine that with liberal guilt, political correctness and other forms of liberal 'tolerance' and you have your answer.

It's a bit funny how, if you didn't vote for Obama, then you must be racist. Yet, if you voted for him, you much be racist.

---

Yet another example of how people who are stuck in such a racially focused viewpoint go so far out of their way, complete with leaps of logic, to cry racism.

---

BTW I love how you pulled this off of some random jackass's musings to represent liberals instead of a legitimate article or something.

---

Lol, it was just a reaction and nothing more.  The idiot doesn't represent anyone other than himself, although I find what he expresses to not be that unpopular.

I'm a bit confused about what you're trying to claim from my input.

I wasn't trying to suggest anything of you (sorry if I wasn't entirely clear on that), but rather, that you gave an another example of what I was suggesting - that people who cry racism left and right will look for any way to claim that you're racist, no matter what you do.

It's really kinda lol and irritating at the same time. Race wouldn't be such a controversial issue if we didn't have these types of people around.

It isn't as if we haven't been bombarded for 1.5 years of voting for 'history' and 'change' as code for vote for the black man or you are racist.  There were also all the questions of, could a white person vote for Obama or are they all still too racist?  Also, especially after the election, we have seen tons of reports on omg wow i never thought that in my lifetime we'd have a black president and i'm so proud of this historical moment...

Were people always so gung-ho about people being racist though? I can't really remember people claiming "you're racist" as much as they are now, unless I just didn't notice. I don't think there was so much "you're sexist!" when Hillary was up for dems either, unless people just didn't care as much.
