I just had an interesting conversation on another blog that resulted in a bunch of comments being deleted.

Apparently there are Republicans who feel that an appropriate response to someone who points out that the constant slander of Obama is rooting in racism - is to spread slander about my own life and business.

The funny thing is that these were British right wingers (moved to the US) who’ve adopted Republicans for their own paternalistic love. It’s reminiscent of how British activists adopt the Palestinian cause without ever being able to admit that there is a core of antisemitism in the foreign movement that they’ve adopted.
