Did some tracking on some of the 'official' Ferguson folks on Facebook....

you won't be surprised to hear that many of their immediate family and friends are Tea Party.

I don't think the theory that they (lawmakers, law enforcement) are revealing their racism more openly these days because they hate Obama is off, at all. Around the internet black teens are being called 'Obama's children' openly on Twitter and Facebook.

The difference is, that they can't get close enough to Obama to shoot him - but - I don't doubt they would if they thought they could get away with it. The 'Obama children' who live in their towns are much easier targets.

Let's not forget that Republican operatives think like this ALL the time, like in NJ:

"They are the children of Buono voters."
