It has something to do with the metal plate in his head.
Interesting how conservatives never post the truth...is it a genetic
condition that forces your type to lie?

The original post...
If you are a Conservative, you likely are a racist.
It it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it likely is a racist
conservative.
Such sad little people need help...after being made harmless of

There's no denying Obama's race plays a role in protests
Tony Pugh | McClatchy Newspapers
last updated: March 04, 2010 09:46:22 AM
WASHINGTON — In the pre-dawn hours of last Nov. 5, while much of the
nation celebrated Barack Obama's election as the nation's first black
president, three white men in Springfield, Mass., doused the
partially
completed Macedonia Church of God in Christ with gasoline and burned
it to the ground.
After their arrest, the men told police they'd torched the black
church because they were angry about Obama's election and feared
minorities would be given more rights.
At about the same time, newspaper Web sites were filled with millions
of hateful messages about Obama, and the computer servers of two
large
white supremacist groups, the Council of Conservative Citizens and
Stormfront.org, crashed because they got so much traffic.
"You immediately got the sense that something significant was
happening," said Mark Potok, who investigates hate groups as the
director of the Intelligence Project of the Southern Poverty Law
Center in Montgomery, Ala.
Potok's instincts were correct. Obama's victory had stirred immediate
racial anger among a small portion of Americans.
That visceral backlash quickly subsided, but as the grip of the worst
recession since the 1930s began to tighten, a different type of anger
began to surface. Only this time, the hostility wasn't limited to
society's fringe elements. It was everywhere.
The collapse of the housing market, the government bailout of Wall
Street, record job losses, long-term unemployment, trillion-dollar
deficits, shrinking retirement funds, growing government
intervention,
foreign economic competition and America's changing demographic
landscape left many Americans angry at the direction of the country,
confused about the source of their problems and fearful about the
future.
In this summer of discontent, much of that outrage, rightly or
wrongly, has been trained on President Obama. While it's an
occupational hazard that comes with the turf at 1600 Pennsylvania
Ave., some of the criticism of Obama has the unmistakable stench of
racism.
For example, a recent poster making the rounds shows Obama outfitted
in full African witch doctor gear, complete with headdress, above the
words "OBAMACARE coming to a clinic near you."
"I certainly detect a racial element in some of the hostility
directed
at President Obama," said Richard Alba, the distinguished professor
of
sociology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
"I'm certain there are white Americans for whom having a dark-skinned
president in the White House is an enormous shock. This is really a
complete overturning of what they thought was the natural order of
things. The natural way that American society worked. It upsets all
their ideas about how American society is structured."
Potok agreed. "Anyone who's looked at some of the signs at the
various
'tea parties' knows perfectly well that race is a significant part of
this backlash," he said. " . . . I'm not suggesting that every person
angry about health care or immigration is a Klansman in disguise, but
at the back of this white-hot rage that we've been seeing are people
who are genuinely furious about the way the country is changing and
changing racially."
No one symbolizes the changing face of America more than Obama does.
"I think hundreds of thousands of whites are taking these very real
changes and attributing them to the race of the president," Potok
said.
Pollster Cliff Young of Ipsos said his research suggested that the
national anger, which, at least publicly, has been overwhelmingly
centered among whites, was about more than just race. He said a
"generalized fear of the unknown" was creating the tension.
Alba agreed, and said that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
probably
would face similar hostility as president because she was a woman,
which would be another culture shock for many people.
"There's this tectonic shift going on in the United States, both
economically and demographically," Young said, noting that in 2042
non-
Hispanic whites are projected to become a racial minority. "And
certain segments of the population are feeling left out. Is what
we're
seeing directly a function of Obama's race? I think not, actually.
He's just an indicator of something 'different.' Of an America that's
not the same as what's idealized by certain segments of the
population."
Because racism is so personal and subjective, it's difficult to
quantify and doesn't show up neatly in surveys and polling data. Much
like pornography, racism is difficult to define, but most people
think
they know it when they see it or hear it. The problem is that
everyone
sees it differently based on experiences, biases and personal
beliefs.
Former President Jimmy Carter, however, reopened Pandora's box this
week by asserting that racism was a major factor behind the hostility
that Obama has faced. Carter gave a respected, white and Southern
voice to concerns that many had dismissed as the baseless whining of
overprotective blacks.
In doing so, the former Georgia peanut farmer helped set off another
round in America's 390-year-old debate about politics and race that
many would prefer to avoid.
In his new book, "In the President's Secret Service," author Ron
Kessler writes that racists and white supremacists probably account
for more than a third of the estimated 30 death threats that Obama
allegedly receives every day, about four times as many as were
directed at former President George W. Bush. The Secret Service
wouldn't confirm Kessler's claim.
Unlike Potok, however, Kessler said the citizen outrage expressed at
town hall meetings and tax protest events known as "tea parties"
didn't reflect racist sentiment. He disagrees with Carter's
assessment.
"I think it's reprehensible for (Carter) to attribute racial motives
to people who simply disagree with Barack Obama's policies," Kessler
said. "Quite a few of the threats are racially motivated, which
doesn't necessarily mean 'right wing.' It means they're racists. It
means they're white supremacists. They're jackasses, but it doesn't
necessarily mean they're politically tuned in to any particular
philosophy. I don't know how they vote, but they're not necessarily
involved in any political movement."
One of the first reactions to Carter's statement came from Republican
National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, who accused Carter of
playing the "race card."
Many, however, think that the Republican Party and its supporters,
particularly media personalities such as Rush Limbaugh and Glenn
Beck,
have used race most frequently and in the most inflammatory manner to
frame their opposition to and displeasure with the president.
"I don't think anybody has used the symbols of race and racism to
criticize this president more than the individuals on the right,"
said
D'Linell Finley, a political science professor at Auburn University
at
Montgomery. "Listen to the radio, look at the signs and listen to
their individual words. It comes through both in a subtle and not-so-
subtle manner."
The not-so-subtle incidents are numerous:
Last October, John McCain's campaign ousted a Buchanan County, Va.,
McCain campaign official, Bobby May, for writing a newspaper column
that said that if Obama were elected he'd hire rapper Ludacris to
paint the White House black and change the national anthem to the
"Negro National Anthem" by James Weldon Johnson.
Diane Fedele, who was then the president of a Republican women's club
in San Bernardino County, Calif., resigned last October after she
sent
out a newsletter with a drawing of Obama on a bogus food-stamp coupon
surrounded by ribs, watermelon and fried chicken.
In May, Sherri Goforth, an aide to Republican state Sen. Diane Black
of Tennessee, sent an e-mail to Republican staffers showing the first
43 U.S. presidents in stately poses, but Obama's image, as the 44th
president, was a pair of bright white cartoonish eyes on a black
background.
In June, Diann Jones, the vice chairman of the Collin County
Republican Party in Texas sent an e-mail to local Republican clubs
calling a proposal for a $50 gun tax "another terrific idea from the
black house and its minions."
Also in June, South Carolina Republican activist Rusty DePass
compared
an escaped gorilla from a Columbia zoo to first lady Michelle Obama's
ancestors.
At an August political forum, Republican U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins of
Kansas denied any racial intent when she said that the party was
looking for a "great white hope" to lead the party into the future.
David Bositis, a senior research associate at the Joint Center for
Political Studies, a public-policy research institute, said: "You
have
a whole bunch of incidents of that sort, and they're accelerating in
their occurrences."
To many, South Carolina Republican U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson's "You lie"
outburst was only the latest racially tinged episode involving the
party. Bositis said that much of the antagonism came from the
Southern
wing of the party, in part because Obama was the first Northern
Democratic president since Kennedy and because the Republican Party's
Southern clout had been marginalized.
"It has been a long time since they've had such a limited influence
in
the U.S. Congress," Bositis said. "A number of these people have gone
out of their way to diss Obama, and that's a Southern thing, it's not
a black thing. But what is it about Obama that they most want to
diss?
A lot of it has to do with his race."

It's more interesting how you think your slobbering diatribe is
somehow related to metal.
And speaking of being unable to tell the truth......
