What’s happening today in the town hall debates on healthcare isn’t a debate at all and it needs to be called what it is “RACISM.” These so-called “Protesters” formed groups around the country called the Tea Party. They said Obama was in the process of raising our taxes. When that turned out to be a joke, they became the birthers.

Then those same racist were saying Obama wasn’t born in the United States. Even though Obama’s birth certificate was available for everyone to see, it didn’t matter. Birthers went on television saying Obama’s birth certificate was forged. When some were asked if they had seen his birth certificate they said no. When they were asked if they wanted to see it they said no. When they were asked how the newspaper in his birth place could make the announcement of his birth at his birth so far in advance; they said it didn’t matter.

Now these same racist are saying Obama is a liar, is going to kill seniors, take away their health care, socialize health care and Obama is a Nazi. When interviewed they claim to be protesting out of their love for America and the American way of life.

But where was their love for America and America’s way of live over the past eight years? During those eight years George Bush told us Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, which was untrue, Iraq was in bed with Al Queda, which was false, Iraq had a nuclear weapons program, which was a lie and as a result we were misled into an unnecessary war that took the lives of over 4000 of America’s sons and daughters. Those lies sent some of Bush’s supporters children to their grave and yet they still supported him. He also ran the economy into the ground, lost millions of jobs, violated the Constitution, committed crimes against humanity and international law and signed a pharmaceutical benefit program that was designed and created by the pharmaceutical industry for the pharmaceutical industry. All this was okay with these lovers of America because during this activity they were as quite as a mouse. But what has them pissed off is Obama’s attempt to have health care for all Americans.

History is simply repeating itself. The same activity took place during the debates of the Civil Rights legislation in the sixties. Anyone who thinks racism is a thing of the past because Obama was elected President needs to take a few days to get sober. The so-called health care reform protesters are carrying signs and yelling “Death to Obama.” What does “death to Obama” have to do with disagreeing with reforming health care? Some of the protesters are carrying posters with a picture of Obama looking like Hitler. What does his looking like Hitler have to do with health care reform? There is a protesting website that claims the health care reform Obama is suggesting is really a back door for reparations. How do reparations enter the debate?

President Obama hosted a town hall meeting in New Hampshire on health care. At that meeting the secret service apprehended a man with a knife. A search of this man’s truck revealed an unlicensed fully loaded semi-automatic pistol. Why would this or any person take a knife and an unlicensed fully loaded semi-automatic pistol to a health care debate? At a health care debate in Phoenix, half dozen men came to the debate armed. One of the men attending that debate had an AR-15 assault rifle slung over his shoulder. Although this is legal in Arizona, why would this man bring an assault rifle to a health care debate? This was a black man and after listening to his interview he reminded me of the black men who told on slaves who were planning to escape.

David Scott of Georgia supports health care reform and he received a fax that used the “N” word. What does the “N” word have to do with health care reform? At one health care debate there was an effigy of Obama being hung. What does Obama being hung have to do with disagreeing with health care reform? At another so-called debate a woman was recorded saying,” I want my America back.” She sounded more like a Native American than she did a European. But how is health care reform taking away her America?

Let’s call it what it is. It’s Racism. It’s all about America having a black President.
