racer

In politics, a racer is a believer in the big evil conspiracy of tea partiers, conservatives, libertarians, and moderates who disagree with the policies of Barrack Obama and/or seek freer market solutions to economic problems (supposedly a well hidden conspiracy, since you won't hear/see any evidence of this at a typical tea party event). The conspiracy is basically that this ideology is all, mostly, or centrally revolving around race, rather than economic policy (which they actually talk about on a regular and primary basis). Racers' supposed evidence includes: 1) The president is black, so if you disagree with him you must be a white racist. 2) There are a lot of white people at tea party events (although more blacks and latinos than, say, a Green Day concert or a G20 protest, drawing great speculation on those groups' obviously racist roots). 3) ??? 4) Profit. (Dismissal of rational and historically/economically astute argument.) Origins: Much like other single-issue 21st century political conspiracy theories, the word is a conjunction of a single theme or platitude with "er." Like "truther" (9/11 truth conspiracy theorist) "birther" (Obama birth certificate conspiracy theorist) and "deather" (Bin Laden death conspiracy theorist), we now have "racer" (tea party race conspiracy theorist).
