re: #89 TheMatrix31

Possibly? Of course. Anything’s POSSIBLE.

But “You Lie” is not even close to being an indicator of racism. Maybe if he yelled something else.

It’s not what he said, it’s the context in which he said it. Booing is one thing, all presidents get booed. The direct accusation in that forum is disrespectful on a level that makes me wonder. No Dem did that to Bush and no Republican did that to Clinton. What’s different? Is it just that the tone has descended to that level in the past 16 years or is there something about Obama that provokes that level of disrespect?

Also, when you factor in Wilson’s past, it does make you wonder.
