Conservatives didn’t even wait for President Obama to finish his deeply personal remarks on Trayvon Martin’s killing and the role of race in America to go ballistic, accusing the president of being a “Racist in Chief” who is “trying to tear our country apart.”

On Twitter, Fox News, and elsewhere, many conservatives took a predictably depressing response, arguing that Obama is the true racist for having the courage to speak about race in our country.

Here is a roundup of the top conservatives attacking the president’s speech:

Fox News’ Todd Starnes:

Influential conservative blogger Dan Riehl:

1. GOPers are assholes - so it's not surprising but it is sad. n/t

2. He's still big

It's their hearts and souls that got small.

3. They can't get the Women vote

they can't get the Latino vote surely not the Black vote. This shows you what this country already knows the color of the USA has changed and they are not in charge anymore.

4. The only way they can get the election is by

suppressing the vote or outright stealing the election. That I wouldn't say is beneath them.

5. Late to this thread, sorry

Maybe you saw the piece earlier about one GOP goat bragging that voter suppression had worked well in his state, cutting President Obama's victory margin in half.
