self censorship?

So for the last week I've been laying low and not writing how I've been feeling because the Guardian online news pulled a comment of mine off their web page.  In retrospect, I suppose, I should have just posted my rant here where almost nobody reads my blatherings but my dander was up and there was no turning back. 

So what was so bad that it needed censoring?  Well I wrote, as I believe in my heart, that most Teabaggers and Republikkkans don't see President Obama as a human being, they see him as a nigger.  Naturally, the President would never agree with this, at least not publically, but when you've been raised around white, racist yokels and fervent church goers, you kinda get the idea that different colors are inferior to your own.  Jesus is white (not a swarthy Jew), God is white and the whole of heaven is predominately white because it is, after all, our heaven.  The minorities get their own place in heaven to be sure, segregated from the white folk or in hell.  Mind you, Catholics and Mormons need not apply.  Their twisted perversion of the gospel lands them in hell automatically.

Yeah, religion is a funny monster.  Faith in God (be that God named Yahweh, Allah or Vishnu) is supposed to make one good and holy, not divisive and combative.  But look!  Suicide bombing Muslims, gun happy Jews and lynch mob Americans!  We can say with certainty, using their own holy books as witness against them, that they do not follow any real faith or worship their god in truth, yet in the heart of hearts of these dangerous acolytes, they are firmly convinced they are speaking directly to God and God Himself is condoning and orchestrating their every action no matter what the cost or loss of lives.

Whoa there Mike, I hear the phantom readers protests, Teabaggers might be crazy religious folk but they don't kill anyone like the other faiths do.  Not yet they haven't is my answer, but suppose they are unable to get their way through the political game as they endeavor to do now?  Then what?  When politics fails will they then resort to the violence other faiths enjoin in?  I say yes.  Already they have taken loaded rifles and guns to public events where the Presisdent was speaking.  What then is their message in that outrageous act?  They claimed it was a "2nd amendment issue" but how can that be when no Democrat I've read or heard about even brought up gun control in the last 3 years?  No, this was a deliberate threat to the President saying we're watching and we're armed.

Which takes us to all the name calling piled upon President Obama.  He's a socialist, communist, Muslim, non-American sent from foreign powers to destroy the federal government and rob us of all our liberties and freedoms.  If Obama's white half dominated and we could see no color in him, would so many Americans still wrongly say he's a Muslim?  Or would there be so many accusations of his bigotry against white folk?  Or white face caricatures of him as Ledger's Joker?  Of course not!  He'd still be called a commie and a socialist because Republikkkans always use these invectives when referring to Dumbacrats.

As for my gut assertion that the right doesn't see Obama as a human but an "n" bomb, there has been enough news reports over the last few years to suggest this is true.  Besides, all one has to do is search "nigger" and "Obama" to see what sort of race hatred is out there.

So was I wrong to blast that in a comment post to the Guardian?  Maybe.  Or maybe the idea that America was rife with so much race hate was too much for the comment moderator of the Guardian to fathom or embrace.  Maybe I shouldn't say anything at all but I just get so mad about it.  Obama had a tall order being sworn in as President in the first place what with 2 botched wars, a decimated economy and bailouts to worry about thanks to his criminal predecessor George Bush.  This was never going to be an easy job for anyone to fix.  When the country needed to come together in order to save itself, opportunists like Tancredo, Beck, Limbaugh, Palin et. al. have managed to rip it all apart in the name of their twisted fundamentalist Christian ideology through the power of good old fashion American hate.
