[Racism: The Great American Joke]

I agree with you, but also people were called racist if you were black and backed Obama when he was running for office. This happened to me one time, where I said that I supported Obama and this idiot came along and called me a racist, immediately assuming that I liked Obama because he was black, but I digress.(BTW: I'm black) The Tea Party, while in its early days a true view of what some ordinary people did not like about the government, is now sadly being absorbed into the mainstream Right. What a shame.

Also this links to the growing political correctness movement. No one wants to offend anyone anymore. For example, if you do not support the Israeli government in their suppression of Palestine, then you are immediately labeled an anti-Semite and that you hate all Jewish people.It really is a shame that people refuse to read, that they just take whatever the corporate-controlled media tells them.

Personally, I'm only a fan of PESs when you have adequate information on the target and good cause to do a PES.
