Warning: extreme stupidity lies through this link.
The site claims that any *whole county* who switched from voting for Kerry in ‘04 to voting for McCain in ‘08 is making said choice based on bigotry. According to the author, “Race is the only reason that makes sense for a Democrat to switch sides this election cycle.”
Sure, if you’re looking at it from an extremely narrow perspective.
Of course, I can’t say for sure, but I would wager that this small article was almost certainly written by a white person who voted for Obama and enjoyed telling as many people who would listen about it. “Hey! Now the pressure’s off, right? There’s no way I could be a racist — after all, I voted for Obama!”
Seems like these days just about anything falls in the category of “possible discrimination.” Why are we so eager to label someone a racist? Because it means that we look “un-racist” by comparison? How awful is that?](http://29.media.tumblr.com/9gZmhXVyMfzhu7qpJuJJXIJco1_400.jpg)
