During the 2008 campaign for US Presidency, Sarah Palin planted seeds of hate. She called her opponent a domestic terrorist. She claimed he kept bad company. She called him anti-American and added “he doesn’t think the same way you and I do…” insinuating his roots didn’t qualify him to even be on the ticket.
The problem with planting seeds of hate is that some of them grow. Here’s a look at what Sarah’s personal ambition is cultivating in her political backyard:
I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking it’s a bit okay because, after all, this was a touch of orchestrated mass hysteria, rallied from an emotional campaign. Surely these nice folks have all gone home by now and regained their sanity.
Well – think again:
“As a silver bullet may be required to fell a werewolf or witch, so is Palin the person needed to defeat Obama in the next presidential election.”
I realize I’ve been out of the country for a while now but… when did losing an election become grounds for declaring war on the seated President? What happened to getting behind the winning team? When did a duly elected President become a symbol of evil? When did the Republican Party stray so far afield?

Holy Crap. Thanks for the post. Rather than “Obama’s minions” it will be the bloggers and others who will just report the facts & then hold up a mirror to these people and stop the insanity. I hope.

I am African American, and I can tell you that a certain segment of Americans have always behaved this way toward AAs and other minorities I’ve experienced feeling like I’m not a member of my own country my entire life.

Until Obama became president people like those shown above, for
the most part, kept what they were doing out of view of most Americans. Now they have become bold about how they feel, thanks to Sarah Palin and John McCain who made no attempt to rein in these nuts and keep them from poisoning the country. It’s too late now.
You have republican senators and representatives, talk radio hosts, teevee entertainers, and republican leaders at state and local levels who say the ugliest things about the president, his family, LBGT persons, African Americans, Jewish persons, Hispanics, etc. Their hatred of Obama is palpable. Senator Jim DeMint went on a talk radio show today and admitted that he is going to cause trouble in the Senate for healthcare reform and anything else the president proposes because his goal is to destroy the president. I’m over 50 years old, and I have never heard a member of Congress blatantly state their goal is to destroy a POTUS.
The fact that Obama won the election is a deep wound for them, but that he did it while being black is an unforgivable affront to their belief that only a white conservative male should occupy the White House.
Oz, believe me, they are employing all of the tactics in their nasty playbook to bring Obama down. They will consign America to hell before they will accept Obama as POTUS. They don’t care about America. We now have officers in the U.S. military filing lawsuits against the president questioning whether he is a natural-born citizen, although his birth certificate is online and the head of the Hawaiian Health Department has certified that the copy in the vault is legal. None of the conservatives have lifted one finger to stand up and tell their followers the truth. They lie and mislead the people who listen to them, and they do it with straight faces.
The conservative/republican members of Congress and their supporters are intent on tearing this country apart simply because they lost the last presidential election, and an African American male is POTUS. America is not post-racial, never has been, and what is currently going on here proves it.

Well, OzMud, I will admit to feeling like GWB/Cheney was an evil administration, and was elated that Obama won.
However, the people I saw during the campaign spewing hatred for Obama are racist, and probably white supremacist, and so obviously scared of becoming a minority in this country once the present minorities become the majority and “white” people become the minorities. I think they’re afraid of being treated with disdain like they have treated others.
