There are so many deep implications here that it would take all day to point them out and clarify the claims.

There are two implications here that stand out and need to be refuted.

One is the implication that everyone who claims to be a "Christian" is a racist and agrees with using racial slurs against Obama. To so blatantly imply that all Christians are racists who agree with or say racial slurs against Obama......is just like claiming that all Catholics are pedophile sex offenders because some priests are that.

Is that kind of logic "liberal", "tolerant", "accepting", "fair", and "open-minded" as liberals are supposed to be??

The other point I'll address is the one about "Do they REALLY believe Obama is trying to destroy America?".

This column addresses what we are witnessing in its fruition today, in 2012. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it's a duck:

"Combine class warfare, demonizing the rich, getting as many people onto the welfare rolls as possible, and pushing the economic system to collapse and you have a flawless formula for Cloward-Piven 2.0 -- and a vehicle that ensures Obama remains in power.

Cloward-Piven is a much talked-about strategy proposed in the mid-1960's by two Columbia University sociology professors named Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. The Cloward-Piven approach was sometimes referred to as the "crisis strategy," which they believed were a means to "end poverty."
The premise of the Cloward-Piven collective/anti-capitalist gospel decried "individual mobility and achievement," celebrated organized labor, fostered the principle that "if each finally found himself in the same relative economic relationship to his fellows ... all were infinitely better off."

The duo taught that if you flooded the welfare rolls and bankrupted the cities and ultimately the nation, it would foster economic collapse, which would lead to political turmoil so severe that socialism would be accepted as a fix to an out-of-control set of circumstances.

The idea was that if people were starving and the only way to eat was to accept government cheese, rather than starve, the masses would agree to what they would otherwise reject.

In essence, for the socialist-minded, the Cloward-Piven strategy is a simple formula that makes perfect sense; the radical husband-and-wife team had Saul Alinsky as their muse, and they went on to teach his social action principles to a cadre of socialist-leaning community organizers, one of whom was Barack Obama."
