Just What It’s Crackered Up To Be 0
Chauncey Devega, in a typically long and tightly reasoned post (I almost always say that, because his posts almost always are), exposes the recipe for Tea(bag) Crackers(TM).
A nugget:
Obama has been the focus of repeated efforts by the Right to delegitimize his presidency. Most of these are fundamentally rooted in a deep anxiety about his race. In all, a black man is incompatible with the “real America” that the Tea Party and neo-Confederate Republican Party yearns for. Obama’s personhood, and all of the history and weight that comes with it, is outside of the boundaries of what it means to be “American” for the White Right, their allies, and many in Red State America.
