Is the GOP Full of Racists? Colin Powell's chief of staff thinks so.

[emperus]

I just thought it was noteworthy, that a fellow GOPer and white chief of staff to a 4 star general thinks the GOP is full or racists and he believes they are not voting for Obama because of his character but because of his race.

Yes, it makes complete sense that the GOP would want a liberal progressive in office if they were white.

 

[Agent11]

Obama is not a progressive. Dennis Kucinich is a progressive.

Obama is more centrist than many want to admit. But it is true.

This is but another of the myriad examples of conservative altered reality denial. They are full of racist dog whistling scum and full of hypocritical denial. They are such filthy worthless bags of shit they can't admit it to themselves because the whole point and purpose of their miserable lives is to pretend to themselves to be better than liberals. Their absolute certainty of their own purity is commensurate with how bad they feel and how powerfully they therefore pretend not to see it. You could no more get these worthless swine to admit they are racists if you lived a thousand years with them screaming the N word in your face. This is the party of the sick and the dangerous, the folk who will elect an empty headed fraud as President whom they actually despise because he's not Obama. Society has turned it's back on racists and Nazis and heaps contempt on them so the bigoted monsters within them hide behind pretense and rationalizations. It's all Obama's fault that they hate him, not his color. That's why, if you look at Colin Powell you can adduce why, as a Republican, he chose to support Obama. The fucking bastards will tell you right to your face they judge by color and then go straight into denial.

If you're voting Republican you are on the team filled with human garbage and full of racist assholes. Anybody with an ounce of real moral decency should leave and start another party that doesn't welcome human filth.

Yes white republicans are racists.

Not the 96% of blacks that vote only for one party.

You expect them to cross over and vote for the racists?

 

[Moonbeam]

You mad?

Why would I be? Am I mad at the dirt under my fingernail? The world will flush the filth of Republican disgusting racism like I can when I wash my hands. It's always darkest before the dawn and the filth screams loudest as it's dying. When puss is expelled the wound will heal.

Well duh, I ain't never thunk a that, and he won't now either. Hehehehe They wouldn't be who they are if they could see how pathetic that is.

It's the only way to prove their allegiance to team USA
Then they should start to migrate out of the cities and return to the cotton fields and put in at least a decade of free labor to repay all those entitlements they have been receiving

The unions would never allow labor camps, unless they got a cut of the profits.

 

[Orignal Earl]

Imagine 40 million returning to the fields.
That's a collective that would break any union around them.
Two birds, one stone..for the glory of Romeisia

 

[DominionSeraph]

Yes, it makes complete sense that the GOP would want a liberal progressive in office if they were white.

With the number of Romney flip-flops, Obama has far more conservative cred than Romney does. While it is standard for Republicans to have no plan, at least they tend to stand firm in their vague, emotional, retarded principles. Romney completely fails in this.

 

[Phokus]

Yes white republicans are racists.

Perhaps the Republican party shouldn't have based their platform on being racist against blacks for the past 50 or so years? What incentive do blacks have for voting white racist republicans?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy

Bob Herbert, a New York Times columnist, reported a 1981 interview with Lee Atwater, published in Southern Politics in the 1990s by Alexander P. Lamis, in which Lee Atwater discussed politics in the South:

Questioner: But the fact is, isn't it, that Reagan does get to the Wallace voter and to the racist side of the Wallace voter by doing away with legal services, by cutting down on food stamps?

Atwater: You start out in 1954 by saying, "ni**er, ni**er, ni**er." By 1968 you can't say "ni**er" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "ni**er, ni**er."[4]

Herbert wrote in the same column, "The truth is that there was very little that was subconscious about the G.O.P.'s relentless appeal to racist whites. Tired of losing elections, it saw an opportunity to renew itself by opening its arms wide to white voters who could never forgive the Democratic Party for its support of civil rights and voting rights for blacks."[1]

Few African Americans voted for George W. Bush and other Republicans in the 2004 elections, although it was a higher percentage than any GOP candidate since President Ronald Reagan.[citation needed] Following Bush's re-election, Ken Mehlman, Bush's campaign manager and Chairman of the RNC, held several large meetings with African-American business, community, and religious leaders. In his speeches, he apologized for his party's use of the Southern Strategy in the past. When asked about the strategy of using race as an issue to build GOP dominance in the once-Democratic South, Mehlman replied, "Republican candidates often have prospered by ignoring black voters and even by exploiting racial tensions," and, "by the '70s and into the '80s and '90s, the Democratic Party solidified its gains in the African-American community, and we Republicans did not effectively reach out. Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization. I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong."[39][40][

I read somewhere that Obama will make all of Israel return to Egypt for pyramid renovation. All part of a big stimulus plan.

It just isn't a racist thread until Phokus whips out the one line from a political strategist used over 30 years ago.

 

[sandorski]

Old saying comes to mind: Republicans are not Racist, but all Racists are Republican

Of course the constant dog whistle campaigning by the Republicans strengthens his charge. Not to mention the recent criticism of Powell coming out in support of Obama.

Some people can put 2 and 2 together, others can't.

 

[Matt1970]

I guess Colin Powell's chief of staff never got to meet the Democrat Senate Majority Leader from 1977 to 1989.

Guess what Phokus. That does nothing to explain the 64% of blacks who switched from voting for Bush in 2004 to Obama in 2008.

 

[sandorski]

i bet the black panthers are democrats

Probably. How many of them are there though. I have seen 2. I also don't recall any Dems going out of there way to appease them.

 

[feralkid]

i bet the black panthers are democrats

And all Democrats are Black Panthers.

True fact.
