"He's a racist" That's all you guys ever say. As if just because you accuse someone of racism you can totally dismiss any arguments they have against you.
If your ideas are so good, why dont you ever bother actually debating them rather than trying to label anyone you dont like and pretending they make no argument?
It is not that simple. This is about people refusing to accept a black president. It has nothing to do with the issues really. It's about people that will accept nothing associated with President Obama because he is different, he doesn't look like American presidents usually look. So everything he does is subject to criticism and nothing he does is deemed good.
A friend sent me this article and it explains it better than I can:
I'm going to be very blunt. The real issue here is vile, racist, and largely unspoken. In the view of most of the birthers, "Barack Obama is a n*****, and n****** should be butlers and maids at the White House, not the commander-in-chief." That's what's going on here, plain and simple.
These people hate the fact that the manager at their neighborhood Safeway is black, so how could they possibly accept an African-American president? They can't and they never will.
Their problem is that Barack Obama was elected (an inconvenient truth) by a large enough margin, and carried enough red states, that unlike Florida in 2000, the outcome can't be disputed.
Their hope to "Keep The White House White," rests on an absurd conspiracy fantasy that has zero chance of being true, but their hopes will live on in their double-digit IQ brains, as long as their seething exists.
