The Resmuglicans are floating two memes that prove they are playing to racist voters:

1) I've been hearing a lot of Resmuglican apologist talking heads in the MSM talking about how the whole mortgage mess component of the recent financial meltdown is due to bankers being forced by liberals to give loans to "minorities." This refers to the laws that prevent lenders from refusing loans (redlining) to people because they live in certain areas of cities (i.e., poorer neighborhoods with a high African American population). It is clear that what they're REALLY saying is: "Black people who defaulted on these loans helped get us into this mess. Barack Obama is black AND liberal, ergo this is all his fault"

2) They are driving home the nonsense about Obama consorting with a "black terrorist." What they are really saying is "Obama is black. Obama once interacted with a man who is black and who is a terrorist. Therefore, Obama is a black terrorist, too"

They know they can't win the election on their own merits, so they are using these despicable memes to reach out and fire up the most vile, stupid voters that belong to their so-called base.

I'll bet this shameless strategy can be traced back to that fat, feces-faced fuck KKKarl Rove.

Don't have any links to post, but I know I heard it and that's why it caught my attention. The point is, the gutter slime they are appealing to don't know, don't care. They simply swallow the Kool Aid and ask no questions.
