Ishmael Reed does his own style of apeshit over racist teabaggers who are willing to wreak havoc for all of America because they are evil racist assholes on the Counterpunch website today. Yee haw. The question is: How did we get here? The answer is that we have never left, sadly. The extra-nasty frothing over "Democrats" and "Liberals" and "Communists" and "Big Government" is fortified with a shitload of purebred American racism. Clinton, who was easily as big a conservative, establishment toadie as Obama is, never got that sort of hate because Clinton was not black. That's our American sickness, hitting like a deadly fever, and let the gods help us to die quickly at last.
