Racists among us
Very instructive. Read the comments from the readers.
==============================

http://www.gazette.com/opinion/obama_48296___article.html/picture_president.html

<snip>
But don't take the cashier's word for it. The Gazette received an e-mail from a man who identified himself as a Marine Corps veteran. It said (profanity redacted by Gazette): "first of all he's not qualified to be president,,alien,,,kenya you get the picture second of all: he's a useless pile of c-p... elected by the scum of our society."

Asked by e-mail if he cared to elaborate, the man wrote: "I don't think any further amplification is necessary,,the useless ni-er is destroying the economy,,,a day at a time,,, and ignorant a-wipes like yourself are either in accord with him or you just don't give a good husky c-p... either way you're f---ed,,,the end is upon us,,,6 mths to a yr, and the end will be starring us in the face,,,actually, I mean you,,,I'm getting the f-k out,,,with lots of $$, so s-k d-k and suffer,,,just do it quietly,,have some pride,,,if nothing else..."

Wow. This could make a fantastic soliloquy for some angry racist character played by Jack Nicholson in a movie.

Obama's first month in office has been troubling, to say the least. But he was elected president of the United States, like it or not, and that warrants respect. The sign should have been left alone. His photo should always be welcome on federal property. Its removal was an insult - brought to us by the Defense Commissary Agency - to the commander in chief of the United States armed forces. Even worse, it was a gift to the ignoramus who wrote that e-mail, and all his idiotic cohorts.

1. Yikes, the entire piece is RW propaganda
"Freedom-loving Americans have ample reason for early concern regarding Obama, who signed a bill Tuesday in Denver that will redistribute $787 billion from hard-working citizens to a few chosen recipients favored by a government controlled entirely by the left. "


"Obama's first month in office has been troubling, to say the least."


At least they can crow about slapping down a Neanderthal racist. Good for them...I guess.

3. I'm afraid to.
The reader comments in online newspapers drive me to despair. Bigotry in full display.

5. Exactly. I was hoping that we moved to a higher plane by now.

6. Colorado Springs seems like an.....interesting place, to say the least.
I don't think I'll be visiting, though.

7. Colorado was basically run by the Klan in the early 20th Century.
I never knew that until recently. I thought because it was sort of close to California and Oregon, it was a liberal paradise. Oops!
