Jimmy Carter has finally stepped forward to call "racism" against the right wingnuts who are acting out at town hall meetings, spreading propaganda about President Obama, and generally holding shit up for the rest of us who really need health insurance.
"There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president," he said in an interview with MSNBC.

We snuck into a recent tea bagging event, (and not the fun kind), in Salado, Texas held by U.S. Representative John Carter (R-TX31) who represents Williamson County--North Austin and Central Texas.

I live in Round Rock, and its amazing to see the cultural divide. North of RR, you probably won't see a latino in sight. Central and South RR - bam! - melting pot.
ReplyIt is about stealing your money, yes. And funny, since they're probably all on Medicare. How do they think that gets paid for?
