I suspect even a white Pres with a program similiar to Obama's would be taking some serious heat in the same way. Being black doesn't help, but I suspect it's only a small fraction of the greater picture for SOME people, not most people.

But I do agree with Walters in one way. Those that continue to use such inflamatory terms as Nazi and Communist are pretty much "out there" in the ozone. Freedom of speech and all that, OK, whatever. But WHY they are so aggressive with such terms is an interesting question.

I saw a teabagger on TV being interviewed recently, an older lady. She said quite seriously and apparently from the heart, she thinks Obama is truly out to destroy the country. I just shook my head in disbelief. Saying something like that in protest or in a flippant angry way is one thing, saying it and truly BELIEVING it is another. I think such beliefs "truly" show such a radical mindsight these people are seriously (and easily) miss led, or are simply whacko's. I think she has attended one tea party to many.
