See what eight years of republican politics will get ya?

For the last eight years they implored their constituents to hate middle-easterners. Now, thanks mainly to ingrained ignorance, (along with a little push from the shitty likes of Rush Limbaugh), ordinary, everyday citizens have regressed back to a time of extreme racial prejudice.

I read nearly everyday where people say it’s the liberals that are full of hate. What morons. Well, I’m not going to be too worried about it. If these assholes try to escalate things, President Obama will step up to the plate and “settle some hash.”

Do we need any more proof that we, as a country, are severely under-educated? It’s so hard to move forward when you’re having to drag the sum weight of all republican voters along behind you. Is there any way possible that we can cut these people loose?

Growing hate groups blame Obama, economy

(CNN) — Don Black said he despises Barack Obama. And he said he believes illegal aliens undermine the economic fabric of the United States.

Black, a 55-year-old former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard, isn’t the only person who holds such firm beliefs, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which today released its annual hate group report.

The center’s report, “The Year in Hate,” found the number of hate groups grew by 54 percent since 2000. The study identified 926 hate groups — defined as groups with beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people — active in 2008. That’s a 4 percent jump, adding 38 more than the year before.

What makes this year’s report different is that hate groups have found two more things to be angry about — the nation’s first African-American president and an economy that is hemorrhaging jobs. For the past decade, Latino immigration has fueled the growth of hate groups.

“We fear these conditions will favor the growth of these groups in the future,” said Mark Potok, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project. “In the long arch of history, we are definitely moving forward, but these kinds of events can produce backlashes.”
