Two Witch Doctors.

Thanks to a recent teaching moment, we learn that it is perfectly within your rights as an American citizen to raise your voice and scream at a police officer.

However, according to a recent op/ed piece in USAToday - written by speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi and House Majority leader, Steny Hoyer - if you raise your voice in protest to a US congressman at a town hall meeting, you are, quite simply, un- American:

"These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades."

If you are opposed to the president's health care reform health insurance reform not only are you un-American but, according to Cynthia Tucker of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman you are.....are you ready......racist.

A recent story -Conservative Activist Forwards Racist Pic Showing Obama As Witch Doctor- does seem to back up this notion of racism.

I do have to ask the question.....how does the photo of George Bush as a witchdoctor fit into this "protesters are racists" scenario ?
