? Wait, you are saying that the race of the man ISN'T relevant, therefore the media ought to have mentioned it? Which is it? Relevant or not?
I don't agree with the news media's preoccupation with allegations that disagreements with the president are motivated by racism. Even if they are, discussion and persuasion in favor of the health care reform is better had without dwelling on that issue. No one will be able to prove, decisively, whether they are; if they are, most people will agree that such motivation is wrong, but this does NOTHING to explicate how the proposal at hand for health care reform is or is not in the best interest of the American people, black, white, Asian, Latino, or otherwise. So WHY repeat the error here?
No matter how you feel about the proposed reforms, can't we agree that the misinformation and inflammatory comparisons of Obama to Hitler are inappropriate hate-mongering at worst and ineffectual at providing opportunity for real discussion of concerns at best?
