What to Nazi's, Klansmen, and evil-mongers have in common?

Well of course they are all names that have been given by Demowhacks to people who are concerned about their healthcare.

Harry Reid said that town hall protesters are "evil-mongers".

Nancy Pelosi said that they "carry swastikas".

And John Dingell said that "the last time I had to confront something like this was when I voted for the civil rights bill and my opponent voted against it. At that time, we had a lot of Ku Klux Klan folks and white supremacists and folks in white sheets and other things running around causing trouble."

Really? We're Nazi's, Klansmen, and evil-mongers?

And yet if a conservative politician even used the wrong term, say queer instead of homosexual, the liberals would be at the gates with pitchforks and torches.

On a similar topic, let's talk about those darned Obama/Joker posters showing up all over LA. A Washington Post writer had this to say about the posters:

The Joker's makeup in "Dark Knight" -- the latest film in a long franchise that dramatizes fear of the urban world -- emphasized the wounded nature of the villain, the sense that he was both a product and source of violence. Although Ledger was white, and the Joker is white, this equation of the wounded and the wounding mirrors basic racial typology in America. Urban blacks -- the thinking goes -- don't just live in dangerous neighborhoods, they carry that danger with them like a virus.

Did you get that? Even though Heath Ledger (and Jack Nicholson) were white, and the character the Joker is white, a poster portraying Obama as the Joker is racist. Huh?
And yet when they published a picture of Bush looking like the Joker in Vanity Fair, that was OK.

So to sum up, if you are against Demowhacks in general, you are a Nazi or at least a Klansman (anybody remember a Demowhack named Robert Byrd?), and if you say anything, anything at all against Obama or his policies, then you are a racist.

Oh, and don't forget, you will be reported to flag@whitehouse.gov for your "fishy" behavior!
