Let me start, straight up, informing you guys that I am not a "fancy, dancy" diarist. You are going to find all sorts of problems with this diary I am sure.
I have written a couple, never been rec'd (who gives a rat's ass), and don't do links and video and tech bullshit. So be warned and don't read if you cannot handle real life in the blogs from a regular middle-aged, not-so-special member of DKos.
I am at work and I sneak a peek at ABC News website. (I will try to link this but seriously I am not good at linking to the story for some reason.)
Here it is: http://abcnews.go.com/...
I am utterly saddened and so disappointed in my country to read this story about the threats on the President's life and how the Secret Service are having a hell of a time keeping up with this shit from the haters and the deathers. Racism pure and simple. Hate pure and simple. That was this is! And all you so called Republican Leaders have been stoking it, encouraging it, fanning it and relishing in the glory of it for politics and it will end up in your demise in politics.
This.is.wrong. Obama won. We.won.
I ask you:
Where are the Leaders in the Republican Party? Palin, Romney (you complained when people went after your Mormonism, 'member?), Boehner, McCain and family (where are you)Steele(you especially~how can you sit back and laugh at this and let if go by unanswered?). Bush, Cheney, Condi Rice, Colin Powell. Step up leaders and defend your honor now. Where are you to denounce these people?
Let me tell you, I am white. Big deal you say. Well I grew up in an extremely racist home with a southern, white, racist, hater Stepfather. He encouraged us to call blacks - 'niggers'. Sorry, flame me,I said it. Stop reading, I don't care, troll rate, I don't care.
I am outraged. I grew up like that and knew it was wrong. I am in my 50's and I campaigned, volunteered, gave money to Obama. He won.
Yes I am mad as hell about HCR not going through maybe, but I am mad at the white Blue Dogs that want the same old thing the haters and the deathers want. THE SAME!
Disagree all you want, hate me, but stop the racism because of politics. It's wrong no matter the reason. I don't care if I get any tips or not. I am at work and probably cannot talk and comment anyway for awhile.
