Are all the crazy Obama rumors...

[Franzl]

Alot of people, whether they mean to or not, associate being black with being "unpatriotic" or "unamerican."

...

Didn't Jesse Helms believe that the civil rights fighters were communists trying to undermine democracy?
And hadn't Jeff Sessions said that NAACP and ACLU were communist-inspired organizations?
 

Ah, yes. Now there are two people speaking on behalf of "most Americans" on issues of race.

That claim was never made. He was simply suggesting that alternative criticisms are created for particular people or movements to hide the true reasons behind one's opposition/discomfort.

Nobody is claiming that that equals a majority of Americans....as a majority of Americans doesn't believe the garbage.

Franzl is right. Even though in the 1960's and 70's when these accusations were made I wouldn't be surprised to see a majority of whites to agree with them.

There is no basis whatsoever that "many" Americans agree with these accusations (especially today).

But Phil...."many" is relative. Imagine how many people supported Joseph McCarthy's crusades...just as an example of how crazy some people can get.

You could ask: "Do you believe Barack Obama will ban Christianity?", and you'd get 10%+ who would answer YES.
