Shorter Michael Gerson


Even I have to admit, the GOP is being driven by crazed, racist mouthbreathers who blame immigrants for stupid and false reasons.

But, as a wealthy white guy who is a long-time Republican, I can make broad sweeping generalizations about brown people that tells me they are Republican at heart, unlike those horrible blacks.

I guess that we all have to accommodate the crazed uncle and the loony cousin, but do we have to let them run the family?

Seems to me that the supposed leaders of the Republican party were content to let the Teabaggers and Birthers take the ball and run with it. They couldn't find a frontrunner or spokesperson for their Party, and they let the loonies run the show. Now they have Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, and a handful of actual politicians, including Palin, who make all sorts of ridiculous claims and accusations, most (if not all) are purely fabricated.

So yeah, guess what, your credibility is zero. Michael Steele is an idiot and everyone else in the party who ought to be making some sort of statement (Romney? Huckabee? Anybody?) are all suspiciously quiet.

It's pretty sad when a former speechwriter has to get up and admit that the party he used to stand for is complete crap. Especially if he still loves them.

Thing is, I know a number of Hispanics who are very socially conservative and would be more comfortable as Republicans. But they can't stand the bigotry they see in the Republican party.

Holy crap, Atta ! Give it a break !

You post on this particular subject on an almost daily basis, and sometimes more than once in a day. The USA is the least racist nation on the face of the planet. Republican, Democratic and otherwise. The LEAST racist nation.

Whoa there, O & A.
Your ability to assert absolute lies is nothing but nonsense. Show me the facts.

I agree that the US is the least racist country in world. However, the Republican Party is, without question, a safe harbour for what racists we do have left (and don't kid yourself onions and assholes, we have a fuck of a lot of racists left).

Dan seems to be somewhat more intelligent than Vox and is probably less bigotted towards America.

Of course, it's very obvious (to all but those that are bone stupid) that the US is easily the least racist nation. But it's also quite evident that racism stills remains and that it crosses all partisan lines, as well as socio-economic factors.

Opinions and assholes: everyone has one of each. Olives and Arrows offers his opinions as fact, so one assumes his asshole functions as a communication portal as well.
