WT Reporter Amanda Carpenter Thinks We're in Post Racial Era

What a laugh this woman is. She keeps referring to a "post racial era." What planet is she living on?
No one accuses wingnuts of racism because they dissent from the president. People accuse wingnuts of racism because there is plenty of evidence to prove it. How does Carpenter explain Birthers, tenthers, deathers? If people were merely opposing the president they wouldn't be carrying these signs. They wouldn't be attacking Michelle Obama, calling her abhorrent names. They wouldn't be saying Obama is a secret Muslim terrorist. They wouldn't be saying Obama is a socialist, a nazi.
What was it that Joe Wilson said today? Oh yeah, that he's not a racist because Michelle Obama's family is from Georgetown and his family is from next door (a nearby city). What? That doesn't even make sense.
Carpenter is ignorant and not very observant, which means she shouldn't be a reporter. I'm tired of a sickly media. We need better reporters out there, not people who simply espouse ideology. It's people like Carpenter who are killing journalism.
