I Think I'm Gonna Cry 196 Thumbs Down

This article about the NAACP denouncing the teabaggers received the usual comments attacking the venerable civil rights organization as full of closet racists with the moral equivalency of the Ku Klux Klan. Just for grins, I offered this comment:

Come on, guys, you don't like minority groups. That's obvious from the snide remarks here. You think that that TARP, the stimulus, the health care law, and the lawsuit against Arizona are all part and parcel of a nefarious socialist plot to transfer the money earned by hard-working whites to lazy, undeserving minorities. 

This plus a few other shots I through in for good measure garnered a total of 196 thumbs down. A good day's work by any definition!

Some of my responses had to do with introducing a note of reality to the new Republican fantasy that they were somehow responsible for the civil rights legislation of the 60s. Can anyone explain how conservatives  can want to roll back the Great Society on the one hand and yet take credit for two of its signal legislative accomplishments on the other?

Oh, and my mother raised me well: I thanked everyone for their votes and nonsupport...
