Well, it took a while, but Sherlock Walsh finally got to the bottom of the shutdown. It’s racism, natch:
The govt shutdown is the end result of a 50-year GOP push to make govt=welfare and welfare=black people http://t.co/BfswIEQL9y

That this crisis hit under our first black president, over "Obamacare," isn't an accident; it was inevitable http://t.co/BfswIEQL9y

The Source of @JoanWalsh's guilt: On many afternoons, she and her lily-white friends sit around the coffee table making fun of the help.

Joan Walsh teaches us that support for limited government equals hatred of black people. http://t.co/9vQAlftQEa …

Actually, @joanwalsh, about as many people on welfare are white as are black. http://t.co/tnH8D8vBHN You filthy racist.
