Nutcase Philly Columnist: We're Already in a Race War

We noted this crazed Obamaton a couple weeks ago when she declared there will be a race war when Obama loses in November.

Apparently, this racist hack is crazier than we thought. She now says we're already in a race war!

The recent onslaught of hate mail I received is a cruel reminder that racism is a like a simmering pot ready to boil over. But it's diametrically opposed to what democracy should represent.

I move in diverse circles and was raised in an upper-middle-class family with parents who exposed us to a wide range of experiences. My family includes several races and religions and a range of political views.

But from what I've been seeing lately, including the reaction to my column, the racial, economic, cultural and religious divides are getting wider. Most of the 2,000negative responses used language so foul my ears curled.

She uses a few letters to buttress her point then again blames that old bogeyman--"right wing talk radio." These people really need some new material.

Unfortunately, sentiments like this are not uncommon. Flip through right-wing talk radio, and you can hear this type of intolerance daily. Syndicated talker Jim Quinn wondered if I'm some "liberal black Muslim" and (according to MediaWatch.org) fumed, "Get an American name if you want to be an American."

Who the hell is Jim Quinn?

If this moron wants to talk about intolerance, take a look in the mirror.

In some neighborhoods in L.A., violence is rampant between blacks and Mexicans. Gang wars are frequent, and, the LAPD says, are based on race and competition for jobs. In Philadelphia, police believe several recent robberies and murders of shop owners were directly related to race.

And what exactly is the post-racial healer Obama doing about that?

Nothing.

No, we're not anywhere near "post-racial" times. If we were, the possibility that a black man may well become our next president wouldn't matter. And two words out of 775 in my original column would not have unleashed the kind of hatred that makes me want to retreat to a bunker.

Maybe you should have thought about that before issuing threats.

I'm beginning to wonder if Philly.com is deliberatly trying to sabotage Obama with all their stupidity of late.
