Criticism has arisen over a float in the annual Naches Sportsman's Days parade that some are calling offensive and in bad taste. Sponsored by a local group that's part of the tea party movement, the float resembled an oversized red wagon. Riding on it was a man wearing a President Obama mask, cracking a whip over a youth pulling the wagon snip Lions Club president John Miles said he's heard critical comments from parade watchers. "There's respect for the position (of the presidency) and I think (Groenig) exceeded any good taste in his group's presentation," Miles said.

A "youth." A white youth

The hatred of Barack Obama is tied directly to white supremacy and those who still attach to that pernicious doctrine. The Tea Party is racist. Sarah Palin is a racist. So is Jim DeMint. So is FoxNews and Roger Ailes.

This is what we face in November: ignorant white folks who are still attached to hatred and bigotry. But we all shall overcome, anti-racist whites, blacks, browns, yellow, all colors of the rainbow and all genders and sexual preferences.

It is time to come together and reject these pigs.

Keep hope alive.

Update I: Just wanted to note that Yakima Washington ain't the South. The ideology of white supremacy is a disease that is spreading and never was limited to any one region, although the Old Confederacy has more than its fair share of it.
