Maher moved the conversation to the “white backlash” to the Trayvon Martin verdict, and Bill O’Reilly’s racist tirades from earlier in the week.
Even when they are saying the exact same things, Maher said, they don’t hear each other, because all Republicans hear when Obama says anything about race is “Kill Whitey!”
“They don’t hear what Obama says, because they know what he’s thinking!” Maher said. “They know he’s thinking ‘Kill Whitey!’”
It's doesn't matter what the President Says.. this is what Conservatives Hear:
There's another thing that's become clear in the wake of the Zimmerman decision. Not only is there a racial divide on how people feel about it, there's a virulent partisan divide as well.
As we see from David Corn's Groundswell report one of the primary goals of this secretive conservative group is to ... http://www.motherjones.com/...
countering the impression that the GOP exploits racism.
There may be a reason why there's an impression that the GOP exploits racism... it's because
they exploit racism.
As they did in their bogus Pimp and Ho smear on Acorn.
James O'Keefe, the right-wing activist famous for his undercover and ethically questionable sting operations on prominent liberal organizations, has settled a lawsuit filed against him for $100,000 from a former ACORN employee. O'Keefe's misleading ACORN videos led to the collapse of the organization, which was hugely successful in registering minority and low income voters. Less well known is how the American Legislative Exchange Council helped in the larger campaign to take down ACORN.
O'Keefe is paying the $100,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by Juan Carlos Vera, a former employee of ACORN (which stands for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). The lawsuit alleged that O'Keefe and his associate filmed Vera in the San Diego ACORN offices without his consent, a violation of California law, and portrayed him untruthfully. The video was later heavily edited and published on conservative mega-blog Breitbart.com, making it appear that Vera had conspired with O'Keefe to smuggle underage girls across the Mexican border, when in fact Vera had immediately contacted the police after O'Keefe left his office.
Or later how Breitbart Smeared Shirley Sherrod.

Breitbart posts Sherrod video, calls her "racist," claims "Context is everything." Breitbart posted the heavily edited video of Sherrod and falsely suggested that Sherrod discriminated against a white farmer in her capacity as the Agriculture Department's Georgia Director of Rural Development:
Fox News amplifies Breitbart's deceptively edited video. On July 19, FoxNews.com reported: "Days after the NAACP clashed with Tea Party members over allegations of racism, a video has surfaced showing an Agriculture Department official regaling an NAACP audience with a story about how she withheld help to a white farmer facing bankruptcy."
Or how the head of Tea Party Express wrote a Racist Later about the NAACP.
Or Like this, where they argue that the NAACP is now in cohoots with the New Black Panthers to bring false racism charges against George Zimmerman.
Or This when Geraldo argues that Wearing Hoodies is a Crime.
Yeah, so they may have reasons to try and counter that impression, since they've worked so hard to create it in the first place.
