IF YOU OPPOSE OBAMACARE, YOU’RE RACIST.

Kinda depressing to think that 59% of Americans are racist. And Jane Hamsher, too?

UPDATE: Related item here.

Plus this: “The Left?s plan for November is to promote exactly this kind of thinking, shaming opponents into staying at home rather than going to the polls to vote the bums out, while fooling proponents that opposition is nothing more than the most atavistic form of prejudice. With every poll showing that far more voters hate Obamacare than love it (with the balance made up of the lukewarm on both sides of the issue), this is the New York Times?s effort to help shift voter intensity ? which spells turnout in November ? in favor of Obamacare. We suspect the electorate won’t prove so gullible.”

ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader Stephen Clark writes: “So, 59% of Americans are racists? Doesn?t that mean that a whole passel of racists voted for Obama ? not just poor Ms. Hamsher? Man, talk about confused!” Yeah, as Obama has noted, he was black before he was elected, too. . . .
