Right wingnuts

When are all the decent Republicans across the country going to get together and thoroughly denounce the lunatics in their party?

Glenn Beck says President Obama "has a deep-seated hatred for white people."

Rush Limbaugh compares Obama and Nancy Pelosi to Adolf Hitler. Indeed, the raving Rush is spouting Nazi talk all over the place.

Sarah Palin accuses Obama of promoting a "death panel" to kill old people.

On and on the putrid garbage flows, and not just from those three. There's a whole crowd up there on the right wingnut stage, including Bill O'Reilly, Lou Dobbs, Michelle Malkin, Michael Savage Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter and Neal Boortz. Then there's the government contingent, including Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Texas governor Rick Perry.

So what's behind all the hate-mongering and fear-mongering? I believe it is basically a refusal (perhaps even an absolute inability) to accept the fact that our country now has a black president.
