Anyone who thinks they have all the Answers before they've even heard the Question - is Dangerously Deluded! Real Truth Requires Vigilance, Perseverance and Courage, regardless of Party and who wields Power. Left, Right, Center, Corporations, Government, Unions, Criminals or the Indifferent.
Y'know it's bad when the crazies just don't know how fracking crazy they sound when they respond to the voices in their head out loud. Or in print.
Today's Crazy-in-Chief is Tea Party-Bagger, MarK Williams. A man whose previously said - without flinching or irony - that President Obama is a "Indonesium Muslim turned Welfare Thug In Chief"
[R]epeat after me: Islam is a 7th Century Death Cult coughed up by a psychotic pedophile and embraced by defective, tail sprouting, tree swinging, semi-human, bipedal primates with no claim to be treated like human beings or even desirable mammals for that matter.
If you think his openly calling the President a Muslim/Non-human is a bad prelude to what's coming - you're right.
So the NAACP has got Mr. Williams all riled up because they asked the Tea Party to ixnay on the racism-ay. Williams first response was predictable.
WILLIAMS: You’re dealing with people who are professional race baiters, who make a very good living off this kind of thing. They make more money off of race than any slave trader ever. It’s time groups like the NAACP went to the trash heap of history where they belong with all the other vile racist groups that emerged in our history.
So you see, it's not like any of the tea partiers are racist - the real racists are the people pointing out their racism, like the NAACP - and apparently Barack Obama.
Here's Keith on this:

Thank you for covering the racism of Mr. Williams on your blog; it's important that people see just how much vile bigotry still reigns in the "land of the free." We are most definitely NOT in some so-called "post-racial" paradise; the bigots just haven't been wearing Klan sheets lately -- in fact, racists these days feel their views are socially acceptable again, now that corporate media give them microphones under the guise of being "fair and balanced" in their coverage. Ha!
You made some wonderful points. However, I'd like to suggest that Mr. Williams' "humorous" letter to Mr. Lincoln is even worse than you revealed at a more fundamental level, in terms of his delusional beliefs about the monstrous body- and soul-killing institution of slavery itself. Mr. Williams is not just slandering the contemporary (or even historical) NAACP. Oh no.
Think about it...he's supposedly writing in the "voice" of recently emancipated slaves, who fear that NOW that slavery is over, they might actually have to BEGIN TO WORK for a living. Which is to say, all those former slaves had just been free-loading on the plantations of the South. Perhaps in some fevered early-Hollywoodized "Birth-of-a-Nation" dream, wherein the background melodies are Stephen Foster's (whose musical intent has always been mistakenly understood by racists to glorify the antebellum South and a mythical fealty of child-like slaves toward their "benevolent" paternal masters).
See? Mr. Williams believes that slaves had it good, lazing around the property of kindly, fatherly "Massa." They apparently just spent all day on the plantation drinking sweet tea, playing banjos and dancing for the amusement of "Massa" and "Massa's" adorable children.
Williams is even MORE deeply and shockingly racist than you have already painstakingly documented.
I think that's what Williams seriously thinks of the NAACP position. That the Left wants people to be subservient to the government, it's happy helpless slaves - when the reality is that the Corporatists like Williams want everyone to be the slaves of industry.

Ooops. I forgot another little remark I meant to make.
This part of his noxious "letter" to Lincoln:
"Freedom means having to work..."
just happens to remind me of that infamous phrase in wrought-iron over the gates to Auschwitz:
"ARBEIT MACHT FREI."
I think that's what Williams seriously thinks of the NAACP position. That the Left wants people to be subservient to the government, it's happy helpless slaves - when the reality is that the Corporatists like Williams want everyone to be the slaves of industry.
