I like asking my wingnut relatives what they find objectionable in Obama. Lately, it's been his supposed "communism," but that's easily dismissed as no person who accuses another person of communism as an attempt to smear that other person ever knows what the hell they are talking about. See the King of the Kargo Kult as an example. It's fun to toss in the old "well, you know, he does consider himself an heir to MLK's legacy" to see if they'll jump on the old MLK-was-a-Soviet-dupe meme. Ah, the ties that bind....

I would love it if he embraces it enough that there's BBQ and Blues at the swearing in party. That's a function I'd want to go to. It'd also scare the hell out of a bunch of these folks.
I just can't imagine how this happened! What has America come to? Who could have thought that people would stoop so low?

The only thing that I find surprising is that there's nothing oblique here.
And it's still early. It's going to look like a RIchard Pryor-Chevy Chase sketch before it's said & done.

At least they have moved on, mine are still stuck on the "he's a muz-lum, don't ya know" objection.
Does the Obama administration look something like this to your relatives?

The good old racist "Southern Strategy" in it's unvarnished best.
How else can a Republican win the votes of all those ignorant suckers?

This from Mike Huckabee who said that demonizing Obama could prove to be a "fatal mistake" for Republicans.
I have some acquaintances who professed to be devout Hillary fans. They are now saying that they are "not sure" who they will vote for.
They are sure.
One declares that, if Obama is elected, Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton will "take over."
