NewsBusters:

Are you opposed to ObamaCare? Willing to attend a town hall to express your disapproval? Odds are good you’re a racist. Just ask Cynthia Tucker . . .

As Clay Waters has noted, Paul Krugman alleges that racist motives are at the heart of the town hall protests against ObamaCare. On this evening’s Hardball, Cynthia Tucker of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution was willing to get specific, estimating that “45 to 65%” of the protesters are motivated by racism.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Put 100 of these people in a room. Strap them into gurneys. Inject them with sodium pentathol. How many of them would say “I don’t like the idea of having a black president”? What percentage?

CYNTHIA TUCKER: Oh, I’m just guessing. This is just off the cuff. I think 45 to 65% of the people who appear at these groups are people who will never be comfortable with the idea of a black president.

    The old razor was “the first to cite Nazis had lost the argument”.

    The new razor must be “the first to cite racism has lost the argument”.

    They’re just upset cuz their Precedent isn’t ‘selling’ anymore, treating America like a ho bitch.
    Even those that went Barack are coming back.

    They are making a BIG mistake by saying things like and and discounting the people.

    First, it just makes the people angrier and more committed to their cause.

    Second, they are underestimating the amount of HEARTFELT discontentment with the Federal government (both democrat and republican).

    It is never good to underestimate and belittle your adversary/enemy.

    Bad for them, good for us.

    I just want a president that can use common sense and follows our Constitution, keeps the three branches separate and protects not controls…whether green, orange, black, white or blue. Our numbers are growing because they just don’t get it!
