Obdicut, don’t fall asleep. These constant attempts to cast President Obama as “other” are racist. No form of racism is safe.

Yeah, not asleep, thanks. But we’re still a long way from yellow stars. We’re a lot closer to poll taxes and literacy tests.

The fact that Romney, whom I’d previously considered a rational, moderate person, has pandered to the far Right is truly frightening.

I don’t see any reason to think he’s pandering now. I think he was pandering in Massachusetts. I think what he did as Governor and what he’s said prior to now is consistent with being very socially conservative. If he has to work with a liberal legislature, as in Massachusetts, that gets blunted, but if were working with the hyper-conservative zealots of the GOP, I don’t think he’d have the least qualm about further breaking down the separation of church and state, with axing large portions of the federal government.
