[QUOTE=Tendrin;463706]The fact of the matter is that we're always going to see this kind of stuff whenever a Democratic president is elected due to the de facto illegitimacy of the democratic party in the eyes of the right wing freak show. It's certainly taken on a much more racist tone (army of gangbangers) but is it substantively different than claiming Kennedy was wanted for treason and selling the country out to the Commies in Soviet Russia, or that Bill Clinton had had thirty people whacked and murdered Vince Foster?
What it has done is moved mainstream.[/QUOTE]
And with it, the covert (and, in comes cases, overt) racism and blatant religious intolerance. That much is painfully obvious from how the GOP, the Tea Party and the right wing radio blowhards have acted over the last decade.

I'm pretty sure that conservatives contribute more to charity than liberals do.

Show your work.
In either case, liberals try to enact laws that help poor people, conservatives do not. Charities fall ridiculously short as a means of lifting people up.

I believe that reason is a combination of Obama's skin color and his ethnic sounding name.

How many conservatives have taken the Giving Pledge?

I kind of doubt what you are saying is true.
What is next?
I bet you are going to say something about Fox News. And then you will call me a bigot or racist. Isn't that the normal rhetoric????
