Left unsaid but just as obvious is that the Tea Party Victory Fund jumped on the ‘Obama phone’ video because it features a black woman. The ad fits into the narrative that minorities are moochers and that government programs transfer wealth from white people to black people. If it shows anything in microcosm, it’s the Tea Party’s Southern strategy.
We've moved from "dog-whistle" politics to racist shout-it-from-the-rooftops politics... Anything to inflame the "old, angry white guys"...and the rich. That's all they have left...
I don't think they have enough angry, white guys to pull it off this time, though. And I can hardly wait to see what the teabagger-party devolves into if they mess this one up. In another four years, even more of their "old, angry white guys" will die off, and the replacement rate isn't keeping up with the attrition....
