I'm a racist / possible right-wing extremist/possible domestic terrorist all because…

Tue Jul 27, 2010 2:17 PM EDT

It seems since I don’t like any of the policies of our Dear Leader, that I’m a racist. Interesting, I have the utmost respect for Condoleeza Rice, General Colin Powell, Martin Luther King Jr, Juan Seguin (look it up if you don’t know), Mrs.
