More Veiled Republican Racism!

As usual Republicans display their racism:  Recently Tom Coburn—extremist right-winger from Oklahoma—committed the usual Republican trick of subtly playing off Southern American's racist tendencies and hints that the African American President Obama is a product of affirmative action and perhaps welfare.  Republicans are rarely overtly racist, but usually play off of generational racist tendencies that have plagued the U.S. for centuries.  Rick Perry—right-winger extremist presidential candidate from Texas—recently said there's a black cloud hanging over America.  Of course, at the last second he added a reference to the debt, but the mission was accomplished as he reminded his racist Republican audience that he's white, like them, and that other guy is black.  Rick Perry and Tom Coburn should be publicly flogged (figuratively speaking) for the lowest-common-denominator politics they practice, but not before they are voted out or down by the progressive electorate.  I believe this sort of Republican bullshit is a dying form of politics but they will use it as long as they can and as long as it helps them win elections—which it still does, unfortunately.
