Congressman claims that Joe Wilson’s comment will lead to a resurgence in the Ku Klux Klan

  We have now seen a ramp up of racist accusations made against people who oppose President Obama’s policies. If you oppose the president you are now being called a racist from prominent leftist politicians, including former president Jimmy Carter who claimed that a majority of the opposition to the president is racist. He is claiming that most people who oppose the president do so because he is black not because they oppose his policies.

  But Jimmy Carter’s comments pale in comparison to the comment made by a representative from Georgia, Hank Johnson, who said the following:

We will probably have folks putting on white hoods and white uniforms again, riding through the countryside intimidating people,” Johnson said. “That’s the logical conclusion if this kind of attitude is not rebuked.

  He made this comment in defense of the house’s rebuke of Joe Wilson for his outburst against the president during his speech in front of a joint session of congress. He is claiming that if the house did not rebuke Joe Wilson for his “you lie” outburst that we would see people wearing white hoods terrorizing the countryside.

  Hank Johnson has now shown us that racism is alive and well in this country after all. Hank Johnson is a racist and a bigot. He obviously believes that white people are going to start burning crosses because there is a black man in the White House and therefor any non-racist comment made against a policy by this president must be rebuked in order to save America from the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan.

  I cannot even begin to adequately describe how offensive I find this man and his comment. For him to sit there and tell America that the Ku Klux Klan would have terrorized the countryside because Joe Wilson made a comment during a joint session of the congress is ridiculous, ludicrous, and extremely offensive.

  If there is any congressman who deserves to be rebuked it is Hank Johnson. He just equated one, while inappropriate, non-racist comment with a condemnation of a majority of white Americans and I find this distasteful and disgustingly bigoted. But this is typical of the argument that the left is now implementing against anyone who opposes and is daring enough to protest this president. The left is trying to delegitimize all opposition to the president by claiming that it is all racially motivated. It is now no longer acceptable to oppose the president’s policies, if you do you are soon going to don the white hood and burn crosses.

 The left is right, racism is alive in America and Hank Johnson is living proof.
