And most of it seems to be coming from the same people that are conservative, Obama/Democrat hating (note: I tolerate other people's beliefs and despise most politicians in general), and members of the so-called Tea-Party. Basically the same ones that say liberals and/or Democrats hate the US. So, apparently they love the US so much they no longer wish to be a part of it. And so far, 700,000 people nation wide have signed these.
What the hell is going on in this country!?

The governors of these states know they are welfare states, sucking on the teet of the federal government, so there is no way they will ever secede.

Exactly. Two thirds of the tax revenue comes from Blue States.
At least the Red States have over 80% of the obesity in the country. They always have that to fall back on.

Then why are all the blue states massively in debt?
And most of the money to red states is mandated by the federal government, not because those citizens actually want the government's handouts.notyou2 wrote:I believe most of them can't stand the thought of another 4 years of a black man as president.

How shallow are your beliefs that you would care about the color of a person's skin over the content of their character or the policy positions they take?

We currently live in the 21st century, not the 19th century. None of us today are responsible for the actions that took place then, yet the people who continue to blame every disagreement with Obama as being due to race are completely responsible for their own racist views.

I believe the map only includes racist tweets directed toward Obama and not prejudice tweets directed toward Romney.
Edit: Here's an explanation of the map from the website that created it
http://www.floatingsheep.org/2012/11/fa ... ponse.html
The 395 tweets mentioned are the number of geocoded tweets referencing the given keywords from November 1 until November 7 at approximately 4:00 pm EST. This is NOT a sample, but the total population of geocoded tweets that matched our search criteria as outlined in the post. Geocoded tweets make up a tiny fraction of overall Twitter activity (could be as large as 5% or as small as less than 1%), so the actual number of tweets referencing these keywords is likely much, much larger, though we are not sure as to this number.
Finally, if this is your first response to our map, and not “that’s really f---ed up!”, then we probably have more important issues to deal with than the minutiae of our methodology. Though we endorse neither hatred, discrimination or violence against anyone, we refuse to acknowledge the equivalence of the terms being used to describe President Obama and Mitt Romney.

.....but you also can't deny that there are quite a few who base at least some their politics off of racism.
