One comment in the Huffington Post stood out. It reads as follows: “Of all the footage from all the cities on all the media, I witnessed not a single black or latino person in whole crowd. Isn’t that odd. If they are actually protesting the things they claim to be, doesn’t it stand to reason at least SOME of them should be minorities?”

I didn’t see any either, despite watching eight hours of cable and broadcast news across several networks, including Fox News. No surprise — the GOP is overwhelmingly white and male. A shrinking congregation of BIGOTS, RACISTS and NEO-NAZIS.

Earl Ofari Hutchinson takes note: “That was and still is the GOP’s bread and butter constituency. They vote, are outspoken on issues, bully and badger party moderates and dissenters, and when fully aroused can inflame millions of voters around the emotional wedge issues; abortion, family values, anti-gay marriage and rights, and tax cuts. GOP presidents and aspiring presidents, Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr. and W. Bush, and McCain and legions of GOP governors, senators and congresspersons banked on these voters for victory and to seize and maintain regional and national political dominance. The strategy was simple; say and do as little as possible about civil rights, talk God, country and patriotism, use racially tinged code words and furiously court white males. The strategy worked like a political charm for four decades.”

Comically, some of these Tea-Baggers re-enacted the civil war, in yesterday’s proceedings — a war the confederate south lost to the north. Others roamed around chanting “Confederate Freedom Tunes” and waving a multitude of placards conveying violent smears, racist and awkward messages.

Among the messages: “The Audacity of the Dope,” “O Crap” and Obama as an acronym for “One Big Awful Mistake America.” Some messages were ugly (“Napolitano — Obama’s Gestapo Queen,” “Hang ‘Em High Traitors,” and a sign held by a young girl saying “Victim of Child Tax Abuse“). Others were funny (“Don’t Talk to Me! I Forgot My Teleprompter“). Certain ones had sinister overtones (“Tax Slavery Sucks,” and “Obama bin Lyin“). Then there was the guy holding a Cabbage Patch doll by its hair with the message: “My kid’s growth stunted by your stimulus.” “Hey Big Brother: Show us Your Real Birth Certificate,” said one sign in the rain-soaked crowd. “Blackbeard Obama, King of the Tax Pirates,” said another.

Need I say, these are exactly the same BLOOD-CUDDLING NEO-KLAN LYNCH MOBS who patronized the McCain-Palin campaign last year.

They cannot stomach the fact that a black man is occupying the white house. That’s what is itching them most. Obama’s win triggered a crescendo of lunatic racism.

Lone Star, Lone State? — The Governor of Texas threatened to secede: “Texas is a unique place,” he said. “When we came into the union in 1845, one of the issues was that we would be able to leave if we decided to do that. “My hope is that America and Washington in particular pays attention,” he said. “We’ve got a great union. There’s absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that. But Texas is a very unique place, and we’re a pretty independent lot to boot.”
