There is a very vocal Republican minority, perhaps 20% of the electorate, which
laps up the most contrived lies, distortions and maliciously leaked rumors of every importand Democrat in power. These are the sources of those rumors that the Clintons were guilty of murders in Arkansas and of his Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown and Vince Foster, the sources of the absurd distortions of Senator John Kerry's military record in combat, the sources who accuse Obama of foreign citizenship and muslim faith. It has been this ugly for quite awhile. Republican precinct worker during the 1960 presidential election accused Democrat John Kennedy of treason, murder, and secret communist sympathies, among other crimes.
If you take the time to trace the source of these rumors and lies, inevitably you arrive at a website, such as the REPEAL HEALTH CARE ACT, which is running all those "sign the petition" ads on TV featuring former Arkansas Gov. Huckabee, where no identifying information of who is behind the group or who is funding the ads can be found. World News Daily is another GOP lie machine prominent in launching false attacks on Obama and other Democrats.
A lot Republicans are racists. They think the White House should only have white Presidents. It's that simple. Of course, they will deny it. A lot of their racism is subconscious, so I don't believe they're all aware of it. I myself have family members that say things like "I don't think the Black and White races should get married." Or "they mess up a neighborhood and drive house prices dowm." Or , my favorite "this used ti be a nice area before the Blacks took over "
