What are the town hall protests really all about?

It has been said by many, that much these protests are about race. I agree, yet I must admit, I do believe there are some people with serious questions in the midst of the shouting, the screaming, the window and door pounding. But, overall this is about a bunch of people who can't deal with the fact we have a black President. President Obama is receiving 30+ death threats a day, members of Congress are receiving threats as well. Rep. David Scott received a letter using rhetoric filled with racial slurs. Rachel Maddow has a good rundown of the threats so far.

  1. Yes, play the race card. What an excuse to turn it over and blame race as a factor for not liking Obama, so keep playing that race card, because that will backfire and piss off a lot of Americans, so please keep playing the race card, I don't like you so you therefore must be Black.

  2. Oh, aren't you a clever one. What changed for you on Jan 20th 2009? Other than losing or witnessing the first black President. If we as a country are to survive, healthy for that matter, we should adhere to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which we signed onto.
