Stupid stupid Liberals. Once again taking one persons comments and applying them to millions of others. Doesn't get more ignorant that that.

I guess Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, Justice Thomas and so on.. are all white people uhhh? Where does that fit into your " All Republicans are racist" argument?
When you want to get real and stop using bloggers for your big ideas then you won't look like such morons. But right now you really look pretty pathetic.-

Oh yeah wiat Repiublicans do elect a chairman becuase he best epxpresses the view of the party right? That is what Republicans do isnt it?? Yeah thats what I thought. So keep defending the party, its becoming history before your eyes.

I still don't understand why the GOP would welcome racists in their fold. And unrepentant ones at that. For their vote? At what cost? These are the types of people they should reject and recruit moderate conservatives instead. But if they want to travel this road to political oblivion then by all means embrace these bigoted, racist idiots.

The new Republican party is truly amazing, a party with no vision, no intelligence, no plan for the future and it appears no future. Their entire agenda is focused on hate, muslims, gays, atheists ANYONE not viewed as the same as them. AND they are proud of it. Read the posts of the right wing nuts on here and notice the pattern. Goppy has said many times that todays Repiublican party is morally vacant this takes it another level they are vacant period.

God will torture anyone to death for eternity in a burning lake of hell fire if they don't conform to authority of the Billionaires of Big Oil and Military Industrial Complex, so says baby Jesus.
Reply
God will torture to death by eternal burning poor people and homosexuals, cause it was their choice to be who they are, like choosing the color of your skin, or hair, or height, or parents.
Jesus was a liberal jew, advocate for the poor, and either a homosexual or married man, but leave it to the cons to morph jesus into a right wing Haratio Algier self promotional salesman warmonger for capatilism gay bashing champion for evangelical trailertrash.

As I sat in a barber shop in a small town in Arkansas in 1978, I heard the horror stories of lynching and racist murders being carried out in the open by white racists to some elderly black gentlemen relating their stories. Why I bring this up is those chilling words once again grabbed my attention just as they did many years before as a young sailor. Posted on signs around the town I was told there were signs that read,"Don't let the sun set on your black ass." There were stories of blacks disappearing for looking at a white woman the "wrong way". In a matter of fact, I was taken aback by the fact that the older black men still referred to a 5 year old white girl as "Miss Jenkins" and fell over themselves to make sure that she didn't get offended. Me being from New York, had never been exposed to this type of racism before. As a young sailor in Millington, TN during the late 70's and early 80's, I too became a victim of racism. As I left the base in uniform to go to my home outside the base, I was accosted several times by pick-up trucks full of white "rednecks" calling me the N-word or slinging empty beer bottles in an attempt to hit me. Those people raise their children the same way. They become policemen and women. They become politicians and hold various government offices. They loath Blacks and other minorities to a point that will allow them to kill one without remorse or shame. This is a crime that has been going for quite some time, but is often ignored in the media.

Did a litle digging on google and found this. It verifies what these older gentlemen were saying.

"Sundown Towns
Between 1890 and 1968, thousands of towns across the United States drove out their black populations or took steps to forbid African Americans from living in them. Thus were created “sundown towns,” so named because many marked their city limits with signs typically reading, “******, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On You In Alix”—an Arkansas town in Franklin County that had such a sign around 1970. By 1970, when sundown towns were at their peak, more than half of all incorporated communities outside the traditional South probably excluded African Americans, including probably more than a hundred towns in the northwestern two-thirds of Arkansas. White residents of the traditional South rarely engaged in the practice; they kept African Americans down but hardly drove them out. Accordingly, no sundown town has yet been confirmed in the southeastern third of Arkansas that lies east of a line from Brightstar (Miller County) to Blytheville (Mississippi County), and only three likely suspects have emerged."

During the 60's and 70's the Solid South was Democrat. You are saying that these Democrats were doing these hateful things. Think about that for a minute. Also think about the Fact that the Republicans were responsible for passing the Civil Rights Act. A majority of Democrats were against that. Raising up this venomous stuff comes flying back to the people doing the ranting. It is biting the liberals in the rear.

its fun to see cons on here trying to argue against the idea that the GOP is racist.
Reply
maybe these people should ponder why black americans and jewish americans historically vote overwhelmingly for the democrats and why these two groups (who both know a little something about racism, btw) do their very best to steer well clear of the GOP.
or they can continue with their denial filled rants of how the GOP is not racist cause they can name three or four black people in the GOP. which is a feeble attempt at best and doesn't prove anything of course. those posts are a bit sad...and really funny.-

When the liberal establishment tells you over and over to vote for them because they'll help you and "the other guys are racists", it tends to become ingrained in the culture. That doesn't actually make it true, though.

Minorities are starting to figure it out though... You can only fool people for so long.

How ignorance abounds in the democratic party.The most out spoken racist against Blacks,and Jews this world has ever known.I don't know how they keep fooling these people in to voting the way they do,because they do nothing for that vote.I do believe the black men of America have put their soul on the line for a promise that can't be delivered.I thought Colin Powell could have been a recipient of that promise,but no he had to earn his way by being the best American of any color,he knew the difference between a promise,and an opportunity,and he done his way.

Joeseph McCarthy was republican, and the communists he sought to destroy included a lot of hollywood Jews. Evangelical zionists actively believe that the Holocaust was Gods Will to create racially pure Zion to bring the rapture.

I think most folks realize that the evangelical zealots with these anti-semetic beliefs are complete idiots, so why would anyone want to be associated with cousin humping morons? -

I am puzzled, dismayed, and disappointed that arch-conservatives like endoscopy and lloydm continue to defend blatantly racist and inane incidents or comments like those made by this Audra Shay.
Reply
Can (real) conservatives not see that by repudiating comments like these, they will lose a few voters on the fringe right, but gain far more from the much larger cluster of voters from the moderate center? Not only that, they will regain the respect (if not the votes) of the rest of the country, even of staunch liberals.
Is it that hard? -

This story is about racist comments by a Republican party operative.
Reply
So the whole "Oh yeah, your side is worse" thing misses the point.
And those who talk about Blacks and Jews supporting one side or another or being fooled should consider that Blacks and Jews, like all other ethnic groups, are groups comprised of INDIVIDUALS, and some are dems, some republicans, some anarchists, some socialists, etc. Of those who voted EITHER democrat or republican, some may have been fooled into doing it and others likely had very good reason. Of those who had good reasons for voting for a given pary, they probably did not all have the SAME reasons.
And if you are dead set in thinking that the Democratic party is good for minorities and the Republican party is bad, please consider challenging this viewpoint by reading Malcolm X's comments on the wolf and the fox. -

The south was for the most part Democratic & anti republican, after all, it was the party of Lincoln. The dixiecrats were a pretty racist bunch-- but them came the voting rights act signed by a southern democrat president, LBJ & suddenly those racists became entrenched republicans - so to those posters who claim that the voting rights act was a rep thing - guess it was just a strategy to get all those racists into your fold.

The folks here saying he Democratic party is totally non-racist while the Republican party is all racist must be living in an elite world with little contact with the folks who make up the bottom rung of each party.
Reply
My stepson is one of the most racist persons I know AND he was not raised that way. He is also a Dem, union supporter (to the point of communism), and social entitlement supporter.
Through him I have gotten to know many others who are Dem's also and believe me they are as racist as they come. This covers black, brown, red, and yellow. They have also learned to carefully hide this unless they are with trusted friends.
My point is that racism exists in both parties. If you don't acknowledge this, then you are totally ignorant of the facts.
I still don't understand how these folks rationalized voting for a black man other than the entitlement promises he made overrode their dislike for his race.
A sad, sad commentary on the typical American voter today. -

Something is wrong here. The blogger says he saw the quote (but it has now been removed so you can't verify it). Supposedly the quote says "I am a good ole southern boy". Excuse me, but Audra is a woman. Why would she say she is a southern BOY? My guess is that this is just another case of political smear with no basis in fact. Lets stop letting Dem and Rep hacks divide us with emotional bs. Political parties are interested in power for themselves, and do not have the best interests of the country. Be independent don't support either party.
