>>"And this IS NOT a "fringe" -- you're talking about 40, 50 percent or more of the adult white population, by far the largest cohered ideological/political trend among "real" (white anglo) Americans [Which is the real meaning of the birther idiocy: how can you say a n***er can be president? He's not even American!]" Thanks for the post, Joaquin. ! Tienes razon ! Thanks to you, I feel I am beginning to understand what the "tea parties" in the US are all about. Actually, I had no idea this trend was so pervasive among white Americans. And I agree with your reasoning : they hate Obama just because he's black. Even though they won't admit it, and even though a lot of them won't even consciously realize this. If Roosvelt rose from the grave and became president, he would still have aroused wide-spread animosity and Fascist opposition, but surely not quite as virulent as that espoused by the "birthers". I don't live in the US, so I can't really get a feel of what's going on there. Thanks for helping me out ! ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
