Now Protesters are KKK applicants, not merely racists

(Analyst's note: These politicians clearly run in different circles than me. I'm simply not seeing or hearing what is being spoken of here on the street.)

Are you tired of white racism being the reason for any opposition to Obama and his policies? Think that protesting his plans or talking about him negatively as a politician is part of your rights in a democratic society? Well, think again. Not only is it not right, now instead of merely racist, you’re on your way to a “white sale” for extra sheets, according to Rep Hank Johnson, D-GA and Rep Dingell, D-MI.

According to Johnson, the only thing keeping whitey from going all KKK on every other person in this country is “rebuking Joe Wilson.”

Seriously.

Rep. Joe Wilson’s outburst last week is drawing new recriminations from his colleagues, with a member of the Congressional Black Caucus suggesting that a failure to rebuke the South Carolina Republican is tantamount to supporting the most blatant form of organized racism in American history.

In an obvious reference to the Ku Klux Klan, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said Tuesday that people will be putting on “white hoods and white uniforms again and riding through the countryside” if emerging racist attitudes, which he says were subtly supported by Wilson, are not rebuked. He said Wilson must be disciplined as an example.

Of course, Rep Dingell, D-MI tried this line a couple of days ago too.

White sheets again. Is there a sale at Sears I’ve missed or something? Clearly being called a racist is no longer enough. Now it’s all about the KKK. What’s next?
