Paul Krugman Yelps That Opposing ObamaCare Is Racist

Never mind Kenneth Gladney[1], the black conservative who was beaten up by Democrat-deployed union thugs for opposing ObamaCare. The NY Slimes’ cartoonish Paul Krugman[2] proclaims that resisting healthcare nazification is racist:

For the most part, the protesters appear to be genuinely angry. The question is, what are they angry about?

Power-mad socialists trying to replace their healthcare system with a statist nightmare straight out of Logan’s Run? No, guess again:

[T]hey’re probably reacting less to what Mr. Obama is doing, or even to what they’ve heard about what he’s doing, than to who he is. … it’s a strategy that has played a central role in American politics ever since Richard Nixon realized that he could advance Republican fortunes by appealing to the racial fears of working-class whites.

I could almost pity the poor dumb bastards, left to defend an indefensible ideology while their farcical regime of Hopey Change crumbles around them. When they play their beloved race card on issues that have absolutely nothing to do with race, you know they feel the wall at their backs.
