Billo, Bernie:
Tom Tancredo's advocacy of a "civics literacy test" is racist dog-whistle for Jim Crow. That's a fact. He made those remarks at an event that was hyped throughout the corporate media as the national "Tea Party" convention. And when the teabagger masses fail to reject him AND THE NAME "TEA PARTY" for which he appeared as the #2 spokesperson nationally, they are condoning his racism. That's a fact.
When he was campaigning for President, Barack Obama was reportedly "linked" to somebody who is allegedly "racist." A lot of people think that is an inaccurate and unfair description of Reverend Wright, but guess what? The perception problem costs votes and costs respectability to political movements, and your opinion about whether it's perfectly fair doesn't matter. President Obama won because he clearly defined what he considers unacceptable and an overwhelming majority of Americans agree. McCain hemmed and hawed like the teabaggers have done on race, and he lost like they are losing, because he and they refuse or neglect to condemn, as unequivocally unacceptable, behavior which to the vast majority of Americans is unequivocally unacceptable.
What it comes down to is that you're all wallowing in a deep ethical recession and Fox "News" is a network of racist whiners.
