MoDo thinks Wilson's "You Lie!" outburst was racially motivated

She thinks a lot of the craziness of the past several months was. I'm not sure it was the sole motivation, but it is difficult to just assume that it didn't play a role in a party still domination by people who hate, generally, and have a disdain for minorities, particularly. Clearly, it helps the cause of craziness to have a black man at the helm. As Joe noted yesterday, it sure is an interesting coincidence that the anti-Obama teabaggers are all white, and as Dowd noted, that Congressman "You Lie!" is from the South.

Then again, they did a bang up job of demonizing Bill Clinton and Hillary too over the years, and Bill is a southerner. And they destroyed John Kerry, who was a decorated vet, no less. So their hatred and bile can be color-blind, but I suspect if the victim is black, or gay, or a woman Speaker of the House, that's still icing on the cake.
