Georgian Representative Hank Johnson has said that his fellow Georgian Representative Joe Wilson had demonstrated a touch of racism when he heckled President Obama. He even went as far as to say that Representative Wilson action could lead to the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan!

To me, this is why the Democrats are so pathetic at politics. They were so silent when the Republicans made lie after lie about their claims. From death panels, pulling the plug out of grandma to rationing health-care, they just shut the freak up. But when a person told the President, “You lie!”, they get all angry and take action.

Secondly, even if there was a veil of racism in the outburst of Joe Wilson, it is because he was playing politics more than if he was a racist. People would have been able to tell it a long time ago if he was a racist person.

But that is not the case, he is “racist” as in the terms of politics he chooses to support. He is a huge fan of the Confederate flag and was famous for fighting to ensure that it remained flying on South Carolina State House calling it very honorable. It may be very offensive to Black people, but the sad truth is that there are many people who agree with Representative Wilson.

Democracy is the best system of government in the world. But that does not mean that it does not have a bad side. One of it is that every kind of people would be represented, even those that you do not agree with. There are the open and “concealed” racists in South Carolina, and Representative Joe Wilson has got a right to go after their votes. If this base disappears, do you think he would still sound racist? He would be forced to change or be gone.

I think that the duration of this is being lengthened deliberately by the Democrats. The Democrats want to be perceived as the victims of Republican ranting. I think that it stinks, but then again, that is politics. I do not think Representative Johnson really think it is about racism. I think he also want to take some of the spotlight.

In the end of the day, it is all about politics. There are Blacks that would support a person like Jeremiah Wright or parties like the Black Panthers. As long as there are Blacks with that kind of belief there would be people that cater to their political thought. It is the same thing for Whites.

I also think that the biggest winner of this is Representative Joe Wilson. He is the one that has gained national attention overnight with these two words. He would never be a President, but he has all but sealed his credentials as a Representative for life. Now all racist whites would support him. He is also helped by constant attention put on him by the Democrats.

The biggest lesson I would like the readers to take home is to take the “games” of these politicians with a pinch of salt. It is the same for television personalities like Keith Olbermann and Glenn Beck who incite a lot of hatred. They are all doing it for the money and power. You guys should really use your brains to decipher what is right and what is wrong.
