The <strong>Heritage Foundation</strong> has recently put forward a report bagging on a Senate immigration bill that would legalize the United States&#8217; 11 million unauthorized immigrants and bring in more foreign workers on work visas.  The report from the GOP backed &#8220;think tank&#8221; predicts a $6.3 trillion economic loss for the nation if immigration reform is passed.  Obviously, allowing more workers with brown skin into the U.S. frightens the GOP to no end as their outreach program to minorities has been a dismal failure and this report hopes to frighten people into opposing any reform.</p>
<p>What caught my eye was a doctoral dissertation by one of the co-authors of this report.  <strong>Jason Richwine</strong>, who received his doctorate in public policy from Harvard in 2009, wrote in his dissertation <strong>&#8220;IQ and Immigration Policy&#8221;</strong> that immigrants in the U.S. have lower IQs than native white Americans, and that difference &#8220;is likely to persist over several generations.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>“The average IQ of immigrants in the United States is substantially lower than that of the white native population, and the difference is likely to persist over several generations.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;The consequences are a lack of socioeconomic assimilation among low-IQ immigrant groups, more underclass behavior, less social trust, and an increase in the proportion of unskilled workers in the American labor market,&#8221; he writes.  &#8220;Selecting high-IQ immigrants would ameliorate these problems in the U.S., while at the same time benefiting smart potential immigrants who lack educational access in their home countries.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>No one knows whether Hispanics will <strong>ever</strong> reach IQ parity with whites, but the prediction that new Hispanic immigrants will have low-IQ children and grandchildren is difficult to argue against.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is the guy that the most powerful Republican research organization in America decided should co-author their report on how immigration would kill the economy.  Truly a non-biased opinion in most Republican eyes.</p>
<p>My prediction that these foolish Republicans will have low-IQ children and grandchildren is difficult to argue against.  Alas, it seems even Ivy League Republicans are racists.</p>

<p>The Republican outreach to minorities continues!  The new Republican party wants non-white citizens to understand that they aren&#8217;t just the party of old, white guys.  The GOP is now opening the tent wide for people of all creeds and colors.</p>
<p>Continuing that effort, <strong>Oklahoma Republican House Majority Leader Dennis Johnson</strong> used his time during a floor debate to discuss effective strategies for small business owners.</p>
<p>“There’s such a thing called niche marketing,” he began. “You find out what you do better than somebody else and that’s what you market.”</p>
<p>I&#8217;m with ya, Dennis.  Niche Marketing.  I got it.</p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='580' height='357' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/9Jv4yxeo2mM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p>“Then you get the reward of success. People come back to you,” he continued. “They like the service they get, and they don’t ask me—<strong>they might try to Jew me down on a price</strong>, that’s fine. You know what? That’s free market as well.”</p>
<p>Facepalm.</p>
<p>The &#8220;new&#8221; GOP wants to reach out to people of all colors but they simply can&#8217;t stop their true inner feelings from surfacing.</p>
<p>Immediately after this comment, someone hastily whispers to  Leader Johnson and he turns back to the mic to apologize.</p>
<p><strong>“I apologize to the Jews. They’re good small businessmen as well,”</strong> Johnson said with a laugh.</p>
<p>Double facepalm.  They still don&#8217;t get it.</p>
<p>In a later interview with <a href="http://newsok.com/oklahoma-lawmaker-apologizes-for-ethnic-slur/article/3787207" title="Oklahoma lawmaker apologizes for ethnic slur" target="_blank">The Oklahoman</a>, Johnson explained that it was a term used in his youth that somehow bubbled up out of nowhere.  He said that the comment “came out of one of the wrinkles of my brain and it was not something that was intentional.” </p>
<p>Hmmmm&#8230;  Where have I heard that before?  No one has to convince me that, deep in one of the wrinkles of their brain, Republicans are racists.</p>

<p>Here we go again.  Another old, white Republican elected official forgets that he&#8217;s not among his cronies and utters another racist comment on the record.  <strong>Republican Saline County Commissioner Jim Gile</strong> used the term <strong>&#8220;nigger-rigging&#8221;</strong> during a commission discussion about hiring an architect to work on a county building.</p>
<p>County residents immediately started calling for his resignation which forced Mr. Gile to apologize.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.salina.com/news/Gile2013-04-06T04-27-33" title="Gile drops 'n'-word at meeting" target="_blank">Salina Journal</a>, a local newspaper, reported the incident like this:</p>
<blockquote><p>In a recording made by County Clerk Don Merriman of the study session, Gile, who is white, can be heard to say the county needed to hire an architect to design the improvements rather than &#8220;nigger-rigging it.&#8221;</p>
<p>His comment brought laughter from others in the room. Salinan Ray Hruska, who attends most commission meetings and study sessions, asked Gile what he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Afro-Americanized,&#8221; Gile replied.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s like that congressman from Alaska,&#8221; Commission Chairman Randy Duncan can be heard to say of Gile&#8217;s comment.</p></blockquote>
<p>Gile told the newspaper that he knew the term he used from when he was growing up and that he meant to say &#8220;jury-rigged.&#8221; He also insisted that he is not racist, noting that he <strong>&#8220;has a black friend&#8221;</strong> that he considers close enough to be a sister.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am not a prejudiced person,&#8221; Gile went on to say. &#8220;I have built Habitat homes for colored people.&#8221;</p>
<p>Come on, Jim.  You slipped up and spoke in language you ordinarily reserve for talk among your old, white friends.  Just admit it and quit.  Staying in the public eye is just going to remind us all that Republicans are racists.</p>

<p>With it&#8217;s recent &#8220;autopsy&#8221; and declarations of the necessity to re-brand itself to a more diverse set of voters, the Republican Party is just days into their campaign to put lipstick on their pig.  They have no desire to change their positions on any of the policies that lost them the 2012 election, but they <strong>do</strong> want to stop saying what they think when other people can hear what they are saying.  <strong>Reince Priebus</strong>, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, has declared that Republicans need to stop saying &#8220;stupid&#8221; and &#8220;idiotic&#8221; things in public.  Well, already an elected Republican Congressman has shown that a lot of GOP members just can&#8217;t help themselves.</p>
<p>In an interview with public radio station KRBD, <strong>Representative Don Young of Alaska</strong> launched his appeal to bring more Latinos into the &#8220;Big Tent&#8221; of the Republican Party.  &#8220;I used to own &#8212; my father had a ranch. <strong>We used to hire 50 to 60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes</strong>,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You know, it takes two people to pick the same tomatoes now.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a released statement, Representative Young did not apologize but instead explained that the phrase was simply ingrained into his being because he used it when he was growing up.  That&#8217;s right Don.  You used the term &#8220;Wetback&#8221; (a derogatory term for Mexican migrant workers) because you have always used it&#8230;  Because you&#8217;re a racist.</p>
<p>&#8220;I used a term that was commonly used during my days growing up on a farm in central California,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I know that this term is not used in the same way nowadays and I meant no disrespect.&#8221;</p>
<p>It was a racial slur back then and still is today, you ignorant fool.  But Don Young doesn&#8217;t see it that way.  I argue that most Republicans will take his reason for using the slur as perfectly acceptable&#8230;  And that is why I continue to believe that Republicans are racists.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CPAC is back!  It&#8217;s my favorite time of year and I&#8217;d like to start with a Q&amp;A discussion session titled &#8220;Trump the Race Card: Are You Sick and Tired of Being Called a Racist and You Know You&#8217;re Not One?&#8221;  What a fantastic title!  I&#8217;m sure some of my conservative visitors helped come up with that one.</p>
<p>True to form, a discussion of how Republicans are tired of being called racists turned into a display of their racism.</p>
<p><strong>K Carl Smith</strong>, the moderator of the CPAC session, calls himself a &#8220;Frederick Douglass Republican.&#8221;  While he was speaking, the following exchange took place.  Smith, speaking of Frederick Douglass, said &#8220;When Douglass came through slavery … he [wrote] a letter to his former slave master and said: &#8216;I forgive you for all the things you did to me&#8217;.&#8221;</p>
<p><div id="attachment_411" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 230px"><a href="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/scott-terry-cpac-001.jpg"><img src="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/scott-terry-cpac-001.jpg?w=580" alt="Republican Racist Scott Terry at CPAC"   class="size-full wp-image-411" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">GOP Racist Scott Terry at CPAC</p></div>From the floor, <strong>Scott Terry</strong> (Republican and self-proclaimed direct descendant of former confederate president Jefferson Davis) spoke up saying &#8220;For giving him shelter and food for all those years?&#8221;</p>
<p>Oh snap!  The floor broke into chaos.  Smith tried to shout down the crowd with his microphone and even initially refused to yield to a young black woman who objected to Terry&#8217;s comment.</p>
<p>Scott Terry was accompanied by a young man (festooned with a t-shirt bearing the confederate battle flag on it) named <strong>Matthew Heimbach</strong> who is president of the <strong>White Students Union at Towson University in Maryland</strong>.  As you can imagine, the group is not exactly the Rainbow Coalition.</p>
<p>When the chairman made a reference to Martin Luther King, Heimbach shouted out that King was a &#8220;Marxist&#8221; and said that CPAC was &#8220;Surrender Con.&#8221;  Why?  Because CPAC never supports running a true white conservative as a presidential candidate. &#8220;We are losing. We keep running moderate candidates.&#8221;</p>
<p>Heimbach supports ending GOP outreach programs to instead focus on more white voters. &#8220;If Mitt Romney had won 3% more of the white vote he would have won.&#8221;  He added that he was a fan of the Russian government for encouraging white people to have more children. &#8220;I like what President Vladimir Putin is doing.&#8221;  The world is officially upside down&#8230;  <em>Now Russia is an ideal to the right?</em></p>
<p>Only at a Republican convention can a discussion of how the GOP really <em>isn&#8217;t</em> racist turn into an exhibition of the party&#8217;s racism.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Jennifer Olsen</strong>, chairwoman of the <strong>Yellowstone County Republicans</strong> and co-founder of the <strong>Montana Shrugged Tea Party</strong> group, shared an offensive and blatantly racist photo on her Facebook profile&#8230;  Right after a post about a roast she was cooking in a crock pot.  One of her 1000+ friends quickly grabbed a screenshot and it went viral within hours after appearing on a right-wing blog that also thought the picture funny.</p>
<div id="attachment_406" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 530px"><a href="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/jennifer-olsen.jpg"><img src="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/jennifer-olsen.jpg?w=520&#038;h=580" alt="Jennifer Olsen Racist Facebook Post" width="520" height="580" class="size-large wp-image-406" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jennifer Olsen&#8217;s Racist Facebook Post</p></div>
<p>To see the entire screenshot, <a href="http://montanafesto.wordpress.com/2013/02/23/the-racist-screenshot-in-full/" title="The Racist Screenshot in Full" target="_blank">visit this post on the Montanafesto blog</a>.</p>
<p>Jennifer Olsen quickly deleted the post when the attention started pouring in and now has come out to deny that she posted it.  The standard &#8220;I was hacked&#8221; excuse poured forth.  The problem is that Facebook has very sophisticated security these days and a hacker doesn&#8217;t get in just to leave the password unchanged and leave her be.  Facebook also messages those who use Facebook mobile to make them aware of hacking attempts.  The photo was also posted from the mobile phone associated with her Facebook profile.  That cannot be hacked without physical control of the phone.  It&#8217;s time she just admitted her mistake and moved on.</p>
<p>This is just another in a long list of Republican leadership on varying levels showing brazen disrespect for this African-American President.  The fact that she&#8217;s a Tea Party Republican should surprise no regular reader of this blog.</p>
<p>My plans for a Friday night:  Step 1: Post a racist photo making fun of the President.  Step 2: Post about my roast and how I hope it tastes as good as it smells.  Step 3: delete and deny.  Step 4: Prove once again that Republicans are racist.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, the election is over and the GOP has been in utter chaos ever since.  I was thinking that maybe the vitriol towards the President would lessen but, sadly, I was wrong.  I took a couple months off just to re-prioritize and get all the hate out of my head for a short time.  I was hoping for a much longer break but, alas, the media demands that I get back to recording the underbelly of today&#8217;s Grand Ole Party.  Well, let&#8217;s get to it.</p>
<p><strong>Todd Kincannon</strong>, former <em>Executive Director of the South Carolina Republican Party</em>, kicks off 2013 with some of his world-class Twitter humor.</p>
<div id="attachment_385" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 495px"><a href="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/todd-kincannon-trayvon-tweet-11.png"><img src="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/todd-kincannon-trayvon-tweet-11.png?w=580" alt="Todd Kincannon - Trayvon Martin Tweet"   class="size-full wp-image-385" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Todd Kincannon &#8211; Trayvon Martin Tweet</p></div>
<p>First, we&#8217;ll go ahead and assume that Ravens fans now hate him.  Let&#8217;s see&#8230;  Who else might?  Maybe Trayvon&#8217;s parents (who are mourning his loss on what would have been his 18th birthday today) and just about any parent who has ever lost a child.  To bag on a dead kid is about as low as it gets&#8230;  Especially when the insult is dripping with racism.<br />
However, it turns out he&#8217;s NOT a racist after all!</p>
<div id="attachment_389" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 498px"><a href="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/todd-kincannon-not-a-racist.png"><img src="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/todd-kincannon-not-a-racist.png?w=580" alt="todd-kincannon-not-a-racist"   class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-387" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Todd Kincannon is NOT a racist after all.</p></div>
<p>See?  It&#8217;s all better everyone.  It was just a tasteless joke but certainly not racist!  Case closed.  Wait&#8230;  You&#8217;re still talking?</p>

<p>Oooooh damn.  How deep are you going to dig this hole, Todd?  Any other dead people&#8217;s graves that you want to defecate on while you try to prove you&#8217;re not a bigot?</p>
<div id="attachment_392" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 498px"><a href="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/todd-kincannon-hates-yankees.png"><img src="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/todd-kincannon-hates-yankees.png?w=580" alt="Todd Kincannon hates yankees too."   class="size-full wp-image-392" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Todd Kincannon hates yankees too.</p></div>
<p>Oh I see.  That clears it all up.  Problem solved!  Todd is NOT racist.  Why?  Because he hates Americans from north of the Mason-Dixon line <strong>more</strong> than he hates dead black kids.</p>
<p>What the hell is this all about?  Why would a prominent member of the South Carolina GOP go on a crazed Twitter rant like this?  Is he an idiot?  Is he stupid?</p>
<div id="attachment_393" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 498px"><a href="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/todd-kincannon-an-arrogant-fool.png"><img src="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/todd-kincannon-an-arrogant-fool.png?w=580" alt="Todd Kincannon is smarter than all of you."   class="size-full wp-image-393" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Todd Kincannon is smarter than all of you.</p></div>
<p>Nope.  He&#8217;s no idiot.  He&#8217;s the smartest (and most humble) guy we&#8217;ll <strong>never</strong> have the privilege of meeting or hearing from again.  Even self-proclaimed genius Republicans can&#8217;t help but being racist, insensitive fools sometimes.  When are all of the &#8220;good, honest Republicans&#8221; that I keep hearing about going to stand up to idiots like this and stop being victims of the guilt-by-association that harboring fools like Kincannon in their party creates?</p>
<p>Todd Kincannon is currently the Chairman of the Simpsonville Election Commission of Simpsonville, South Carolina.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Data-mapping experts from the Floating Sheep blog mapped geo-located Tweets containing racist language during the build-up to the US election.  I&#8217;m sure the results will shock you.  Concentrated racism in the South?  No way!  As a resident of Georgia and having watched the campaign as it affected my neighbors, my only surprise is that Georgia wasn&#8217;t #1.  I guess that&#8217;s part of what makes Alabama and Mississippi such magical places!  <a href="http://www.floatingsheep.org/2012/11/mapping-racist-tweets-in-response-to.html" title="Mapping Racist Tweets in Response to President Obama's Re-election" target="_blank">Click here</a> for details and methodology behind this image.</p>

<p>And, for those of you that only watch auto racing for the accidents, here is a sampling of the racist Republican twitterverse&#8217;s reaction to Election 2012.  Prepare yourself for all of the grammatical and spelling errors that you have come to know and love from poor, uneducated right-wing loonies!  Enjoy!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><div id="attachment_334" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/put-the-white-back-in-the-white-house.jpg"><img src="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/put-the-white-back-in-the-white-house.jpg?w=580" alt="&quot;Put the White Back in the White House&quot; T-Shirt at Romney / Ryan Rally." title="put-the-white-back-in-the-white-house"  class="size-full wp-image-334" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">&#8220;Put the White Back in the White House&#8221; T-Shirt at Romney / Ryan Rally.</p></div>This Getty Images photo from a Romney / Ryan rally in Lancaster, Ohio on Friday has gotten a lot of attention.  I wonder why?  This Romney supporter not only felt comfortable enough in this crowd to wear a t-shirt saying &#8220;Put the White back in the White House&#8221; but he wanted to spike the ball by adding a Romney / Ryan sticker to the top of the message.</p>
<p>A Romney spokesperson commented that the shirt was “reprehensible and has no place in this election.”  That being said, the Right-wing Media leaped to Romnney&#8217;s rescue claiming that this guy was a Democratic plant and that the photo was taken outside.  There is absolutely no evidence of a plant (but what else can you say just weeks before the election) and it was later proven that the photo was indeed taken inside of the event.</p>
<p>This is certainly no surprise, and I&#8217;m sure the man got mad props on his wardrobe choice from his fellow Republicans, but what terrible timing.  Didn&#8217;t anyone tell him that the GOP really wants to downplay the race issue until after election day?  Guess it doesn&#8217;t matter to this guy.  The important thing to him is getting his message out by preaching to his racist choir.</p>

It is along that line of thinking that I will present quotes from the book &#8220;Letters to the Editor: Confessions of a Frustrated Conservative&#8221; written by Republican Legislator Jon Hubbard of Jonesboro, Arkansas.</p>
<p>For my racist readers (and I know you&#8217;re there,) this is a book that you&#8217;re going to love.  It&#8217;s not only chock full of bigoted statements, it even includes the prediction of a full-on race war similar to what we saw in Nazi Germany.  It&#8217;s yet another peek into the mind of another elected member of the GOP.  It&#8217;s filled with contradictions and horrible interpretations of Biblical scripture.</p>
<p>Here is a list of some of the choice quotes as compiled by the <a href="http://www.arktimes.com/ArkansasBlog/archives/2012/10/05/republican-extremists-in-their-own-words" title="Arkansas Times: Republican extremists, in their own words" target="_blank">Arkansas Times</a>.</p>
<h3>Slavery was good for black people:</h3>
<blockquote><p>“… the institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise. The blacks who could endure those conditions and circumstances would someday be rewarded with citizenship in the greatest nation ever established upon the face of the Earth.” (Pages 183-89)</p></blockquote>
<h3>If you think slavery was bad, you should have seen Africa:</h3>
<blockquote><p>African Americans must “understand that even while in the throes of slavery, their lives as Americans are likely much better than they ever would have enjoyed living in sub-Saharan Africa.”</p>
<p>“Knowing what we know today about life on the African continent, would an existence spent in slavery have been any crueler than a life spent in sub-Saharan Africa?” (Pages 93 and 189)</p></blockquote>
<h3>Black people are ignorant:</h3>
<blockquote><p>“Wouldn’t life for blacks in America today be more enjoyable and successful if they would only learn to appreciate the value of a good education?” (Page 184)</p></blockquote>
<h3>Integration was bad for white people and black people are lazy:</h3>
<blockquote><p>“… one of the stated purposes of school integration was to bring black students up to a level close to that of white students. But, to the great disappointment of everyone, the results of this theory worked exactly in reverse of its intended purpose, and instead of black students rising to the educational levels previously attained by white students, the white students dropped to the level of black students. To make matters worse the lack of discipline and ambition of black students soon became shared by their white classmates, and our educational system has been in a steady decline ever since.” (Page 27)</p></blockquote>
<h3>It&#8217;s basically hopeless:</h3>
<blockquote><p>“… will it ever become possible for black people in the United States of America to firmly establish themselves as inclusive and contributing members of society within this country?” (Page 187)</p></blockquote>
<h3>Immigration is bad:</h3>
<blockquote><p>..the immigration issue, both legal and illegal&#8230; will lead to planned wars or extermination. Although now this seems to be barbaric and uncivilized, it will at some point become as necessary as eating and breathing.&#8221; (Page 9)</p></blockquote>
<h3>Don&#8217;t forget Nazi Germany:</h3>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;American Christians are assuming a similar stance as did the citizens of Germany during Hitler&#8217;s rise to power.&#8221; (Page 158)</p></blockquote>
<p>Now <em>that</em> should whet your appetite.  Get out there and grab a copy.  Only one elected Republican wrote it but he&#8217;s far from being alone in sharing the book&#8217;s sentiments.  Finally, there is an owner&#8217;s manual for the modern Republican &#8220;Christian&#8221; mind.</p>

The <em>real</em> grass roots campaign in Texas is the one being pursued by Texas&#8217; vast racist population.</p>
<p><a href="http://bluechickredbarn.wordpress.com/2012/09/21/hatred-hits-home-literally/" title="Blue Chick in a Red Barn" target="_blank">Cassy Zobel</a>, an Obama supporter in McKinney, Texas, recently had the sign she put up covered and then scrawled with racism and profanity.  It&#8217;s been reported that Cassy told blogger Egberto Willies, “My next door neighbor rang my doorbell this morning and showed me my sign, which he had kindly removed from the ground.  We have at least 4 African American families living on this street. I’m so offended, not just because whoever did this is ignorant and misinformed and trespassed and vandalized my sign, but infinitely more for my neighbors who might have driven by and seen it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Here are photos from <a href="http://bluechickredbarn.wordpress.com/2012/09/21/hatred-hits-home-literally/" title="Blue Chick in a Red Barn" target="_blank">Ms. Zobel&#8217;s blog</a>:</p>

<p>Zobel later told <a href="http://rawstory.com/" target="_blank">RawStory.com</a> that her Obama yard sign was later stolen on Sunday night by a white male in his 40s, who was caught on video.</p>
<p>More and more often, we have to keep learning the same lesson&#8230;.  Texas Republicans are racists.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_268" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/texas-chair-lynching.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-268" title="Texas Republican Lynches an Empty Chair" src="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/texas-chair-lynching.jpg?w=167&#038;h=300" alt="Texas Republican Lynches an Empty Chair" width="167" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Strung Up! Texas Republican Lynches an Empty Chair.</p></div>
<p>Yesterday in Texas, the <a title="Republican Lynches Empty Chair in Racist Presidential Effigy in Northwest Austin" href="http://www.burntorangereport.com/diary/12756/republican-lynches-empty-chair-in-racist-presidential-effigy-in-northwest-austin" target="_blank">Burnt Orange Report</a> received a photo of an empty chair, representing President Obama in a bizarre Clint Eastwood homage, being lynched in the front yard of a Texas Republican.</p>
<p>The poor chair was lynched in the front yard of an Austin, Texas homeowner and has many on the right asking, &#8220;How is that racist?  Chairs have no race!&#8221;</p>
<p>The problem, as pointed out by <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/user/kath25" target="_blank">Katherine Haenschen</a>, is that Texas has a long history of very real lynching. From 1885 to 1942, only Mississippi and Georgia had more lynchings and the overwhelming majority of those lynchings were of African-Americans.  He didn&#8217;t have to include a winking emoticon to make sure we all get his point.  It&#8217;s pretty easy to translate.</p>
<p>When contacted and asked about the chair by Haenschen, the Austin homeowner had this to say: <strong>&#8220;I don&#8217;t really give a damn whether it disturbs you or not. You can take [your concerns] and go straight to hell and take Obama with you. I don&#8217;t give a shit. If you don&#8217;t like it, don&#8217;t come down my street.&#8221;</strong> Ahhhhhh, the freedom to choose!  I wonder if all of his neighbors have the same option to avoid his bigoted message.  I believe his comment says all we need to know about the intent and the very audible dog-whistle sent by this&#8230; He wants President Obama hanged and has already done so on his front lawn in effigy.</p>
<p>The man is not alone in presenting this message either.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='580' height='357' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/jk2ExIR_T2o?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">As Mitt Romney was giving a speech at the Los Angeles Hispanic Chamber of Commerce yesterday, a video was being leaked from a Romney private fund raiser held in the residence of one of his 1% supporters.  Judging by the camera position, someone was being sneaky and getting a recording of a speech that Romney certainly didn&#8217;t want leaving that room.  Well, in this day and age, there is no such thing as complete privacy.  Now we can let the <em>real</em> Mitt tell you how he feels.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>“My dad, as you probably know, was the governor of Michigan and was the head of a car company. But he was born in Mexico… and had he been born of, uh, Mexican parents, I’d have a better shot at winning this. But he was unfortunately born to Americans living in Mexico. He lived there for a number of years. I mean, I say that jokingly, but it would be helpful to be Latino.”</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;">That&#8217;s right, kids.  Romney thinks things would be better for him if he had been born Latino instead of drawing the short straw and being born white, rich beyond most of our wildest dreams, and ruggedly handsome.  The poor man has suffered so much, as we all know from the RNC, and all he wants is to be a minority.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Rep. Charlie Gonzalez of San Antonio had the following to say: “It’s not about being a Latino that would make Romney a better candidate,” Gonzalez said. “Latinos, and all Americans, look at the substance of a candidate’s proposals to determine who is the better candidate and who best represents the priorities of their community. That is why upon examining the policies willingly supported by Romney on the economy, health care, and immigration, Latinos overwhelmingly support President Obama.”</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Now is your time, loyal GOP defenders, to step up once again to declare yourselves innocent.  The truth keeps coming out, though.  When among their own kind and unaware that any outsiders are listening, even Republican Presidential Candidates are racists.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 254px"><img title="Ann Romney and First Lady Michelle Obama" src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2012/09/14/romney_obama_120914_244x183.jpg" alt="Ann Romney and First Lady Michelle Obama" width="244" height="183" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Ann Romney left and US First Lady Michelle Obama (Credit: Getty Images )</p></div>
<p>On Saturday, Rodeo Clown Mike Hayhurst of Barstow CA made an offensive joke over the PA system at the Creston Classic Rodeo. Most people in America were already very aware that rodeo clowns simply aren&#8217;t funny unless they are getting a bull horn in the seat of their Wrangler jeans. We really didn&#8217;t need another reason not to laugh at them but here comes yet another.</p>
<div id="attachment_265" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/rodeo-clown-mike-mayhurst.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-265" title="Rodeo Clown Mike Hayhurst of Barstow, CA" src="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/rodeo-clown-mike-mayhurst.jpg?w=200&#038;h=300" alt="Rodeo Clown Mike Hayhurst of Barstow, CA" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Rodeo Clown Mike Hayhurst of Barstow, CA</p></div>
<p>During some ad-lib with the rodeo announcer, Hayhurst told a joke that goes like this: Playboy is offering Ann Romney $250,000 to pose in the magazine, and the White House is upset about it because National Geographic only offered Michelle Obama $50 to pose for their magazine.</p>
<p>Later that day, Hayhurst apparently suffered a head injury that landed him in the hospital. On Sunday, the press called him at the hospital to ask him if he wanted to apologize for making the sexist and overtly racist joke. Hayhurst only responded by saying “I cannot believe how insensitive you are. I am in the hospital.” He then uttered a vulgarity and hung up. Now THAT is funny.</p>
<p>Hayhurst is a self-professed Republican (as if the joke itself wasn&#8217;t evidence enough) and, as one of my readers pointed out, is a <a title="Mike Hayhurst - Superintendent for Excelsior Charter Schools" href="http://www.excelsior.com/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=306014&amp;type=u" target="_blank">Superintendent for Excelsior Charter Schools</a> in California. According to his <a href="http://www.prorodeoclown.com/" target="_blank">rodeo clown website</a>, Hayhurst offers &#8220;good clean family comedy always!&#8221; Before you book him for your next rodeo, however, make sure that the families that are attending are white&#8230; And racist.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.salon.com/2012/09/10/why_i_left_the_gop/" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" src="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/george_w_bush-460x307.jpg?w=400" alt="George W. Bush" width="400" /></a></p>
<p>This week, <a title="Salon.com" href="http://www.salon.com/">Salon.com</a> published an <a title="Why I left the GOP" href="http://www.salon.com/2012/09/10/why_i_left_the_gop/" target="_blank">article</a> by <strong>Jeremiah Goulka</strong> that was an unexpectedly good read. I feel I should share this piece as it discusses a subject that I find particularly fascinating&#8230;.  The refusal to admit to yourself when you&#8217;ve been fooled and how it relates to so many in the Republican Party.</p>
<blockquote><p>This is the story of how in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and later in Iraq, I discovered that what I believed to be the full spectrum of reality was just a small slice of it and how that discovery knocked down my Republican worldview.</p>
<p>I always imagined that I was full of heart, but it turned out that I was oblivious.  Like so many Republicans, I had assumed that society’s “losers” had somehow earned their deserts.  As I came to recognize that poverty is not earned or chosen or deserved, and that our use of force is far less precise than I had believed, I realized with a shock that I had effectively viewed whole swaths of the country and the world as second-class people.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is not your typical party switching story as it crosses over into the subject of this website.  It helps me get closer to answering questions that I have been asking myself for years.  <em>Why do so many Republicans not understand their advantages?  How can good Christian people be so callous towards the poor?  How did a party with a proud history of fighting for civil rights take such a racist turn?</em>  It&#8217;s also a very interesting read.</p>
<blockquote><p>Many people see the wider spectrum of reality because they grew up on the receiving end.  As a retired African-American general in the Marine Corps said to me after I told him my story, “No one has to explain institutional racism to a black man.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Jeremiah Goulka writes about American politics and culture. His most recent work has been published in the American Prospect and Salon. He was formerly an analyst at the RAND Corporation, a recovery worker in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina, and an attorney at the U.S. Department of Justice.  <a title="Why I left the GOP" href="http://www.salon.com/2012/09/10/why_i_left_the_gop/" target="_blank">Check his story out.</a></p>
<p>On a website with such an unpleasant theme, it&#8217;s nice to post something that gives you a little hope every once in a while.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_207" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 580px"><a href="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/obama-village-idiot.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-207" title="obama-village-idiot" src="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/obama-village-idiot.jpg?w=580" alt="Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing it's idiot."   /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing it&#8217;s idiot.</p></div>
<p>I get it. If my candidate was an empty suit with hundreds of millions of dollars who didn&#8217;t give two craps about people like me that make under $100k per year, I&#8217;d be pretty frustrated too. That&#8217;s why these signs don&#8217;t surprise me in the least. At the RNC, we saw a similar theme. It wasn&#8217;t a Convention that was buzzing with excitement for their candidate&#8230; It was one boiling with hatred for the President.</p>
<p>These billboards, which have been put up on the small town of Hanson, Massachusetts, aren&#8217;t put there to cheer for Mitt Romney. They were put there to further smear the President and continue to try to make him &#8220;not one of us.&#8221; The first one, &#8220;Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing it&#8217;s idiot,&#8221; is an old re-tread from the early days of the Tea Party. We&#8217;ve seen it before. The second adds a twist.</p>
<div id="attachment_210" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 580px"><a href="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/thanks-obama-middle-finger.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-210" title="thanks-obama-middle-finger" src="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/thanks-obama-middle-finger.jpg?w=580" alt="Thanks, Obama!  Here's my middle finger."   /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Thanks, Obama! Here&#8217;s my middle finger.</p></div>
<p>This second billboard adds completely imaginary statistics (35 years of paychecks???) and a young girl giving the finger to an invisible Obama&#8230; Or to passing motorists depending on whether or not you have time to read it. Eric Folsom, a parent from a nearby town, said that the sign puts him in a tough spot with his 6 year old daughter.</p>
<p>“If she saw that, she’d say ‘Why is that little girl doing that? What does that mean?’” he said. “How do I explain that?”</p>
<p>Both signs were put up by local motorcycle shop owner Robert Sullivan.  For more info, go check out <a href="http://www.enterprisenews.com/multimedia/videos/x1333908411/People-react-to-anti-Obama-billboards-in-Hanson" target="_blank">Enterprise News</a> and <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/30/anti-obama-signs-in-massachusetts_n_1842736.html?utm_hp_ref=black-voices&amp;ir=Black%20Voices" target="_blank">HuffPo</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the weekend, Martin Dyckman (formerly of the St. Petersburg Times) wrote an article on <a href="http://staugustine.com/opinions/2012-09-08/martin-dyckman-reading-polls-weight-race#.UE3byd1lR30" target="_blank">StAugustine.com</a> that won&#8217;t be received well in Florida. In this article, he discusses the weight of the &#8220;race card&#8221; in the 2012 elections.  As a Florida native who spent over 30 years living in the state, I know it&#8217;s bigoted underbelly (read: the Panhandle.)  Here are some snippets:</p>
<blockquote><p>Another reason is the opposition’s relentless campaign to demonize not only Obama’s record but his personhood and even his Americanism. The birth certificate nonsense is an example of that. So is the widespread belief among senior citizens that Obamacare is a threat to Medicare rather than an element essential to its survival. Paul Ryan’s budget contemplated the same $716 billion in reduced payments to hospitals and insurance companies, but you won’t hear that from the Obama haters.</p></blockquote>
<p>And he touches upon the outright and provable lie being told in Romney ads about the President supposedly removing the work requirement from welfare.</p>
<blockquote><p>The Republican ads falsely accusing Obama of waiving welfare’s work requirement are unsubtle appeals to the residual racism that some racists won’t admit even to themselves.</p></blockquote>
<p>Click the <a href="http://staugustine.com/opinions/2012-09-08/martin-dyckman-reading-polls-weight-race#.UE3byd1lR30" target="_blank">link</a> below to check it out.  My Republican readers will want to spam the comments with accusations the author&#8217;s own racism and his &#8220;librul media&#8221; race baiting tactics&#8230;  But the rest of you, reasonable readers, will clearly see the point that more and more Americans wake up to every single day&#8230;  Republicans are racists.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_189" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/racist-tweet-01.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-189" title="racist-tweet-01" src="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/racist-tweet-01.jpg?w=300&#038;h=131" alt="Tweet by Leslie Bennett (Proud to be an American and Christian - Nashville, Tennessee)" width="300" height="131" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Tweet by Leslie Bennett (Proud to be an American and Christian &#8211; Nashville, Tennessee)</p></div>
<p>Twitter, since it&#8217;s creation, has always been a unique window to peek in at the demons living inside of people&#8217;s heads. President Obama&#8217;s rousing speech at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC was just another opportunity for the crazies to let loose their racist tongues and rain ignorance upon the rest of us.</p>
<p>The speech actually set a political record for Twitter with people tweeting at an amazing 52,757 tweets per minute.  As you can imagine, a disturbing amount of those tweets weren&#8217;t exactly a discussion of policy.  Many quickly broke down into straight up, unadulterated racism.</p>
<div id="attachment_194" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/racist-tweet-02.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-194" title="racist-tweet-02" src="http://republicansareracists.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/racist-tweet-02.jpg?w=300&#038;h=114" alt="Tweet by Leslie Bennett (@kAiT_B_tAyLoR)" width="300" height="114" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Tweet by Leslie Bennett (@kAiT_B_tAyLoR)</p></div>
<p>What&#8217;s sad is that the twitter users that seemed to offend the most also claim to be Christian and many Republican.  Make sure to stop by their Twitter pages and say howdy.  I know most of my readers here are Republicans and I&#8217;m sure these people could use some new followers.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img title="Albuquerque protest opposes racist slurs against Native Americans" src="http://www.pslweb.org/liberationnews/assets/images/content/protest-against-racist.jpg" alt="Albuquerque protest opposes racist slurs against Native Americans" width="300" height="224" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Albuquerque protest opposes racial slurs against Native Americans by right-wing Albuquerque attorney Patrick Rogers</p></div>
<p>In an email sent in June to Republican Party cronies, right-wing Albuquerque attorney Patrick Rogers expressed his anger with New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez due to her meeting with Native American tribal leaders from across the state. Apparently not someone who chooses to pick on an ethnic group the size of his own, Mr. Rogers stated that &#8221;[t]he state is going to hell&#8221; and that the Governor&#8217;s meeting &#8220;dishonored Col. Custer.&#8221;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right.  We&#8217;re going to fight Little Bighorn again&#8230; And this time the Europeans have an even bigger advantage.  Native American populations continue to shrink and for some members of the GOP, it&#8217;s still not enough.  Next they will be calling for an invasion of Indian reservations and a completion of our domination of the Native inhabitants of North America.</p>
<p>After the email was publicized, hundreds of people wrote letters to the Republican Party of New Mexico as well as to Rogers&#8217; law firm, Modrall Sperling in Albuquerque.  On August 31st, a group called ANSWER NM (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) staged a protest against Mr. Roger&#8217;s comments. Shortly before the ANSWER NM picket line began, Modrall Sperling announced that Rogers had submitted his resignation and was leaving the firm.</p>
<p>In a statement, Governor Martinez said she deplored the racist remarks but said that she &#8220;forgives&#8221; Rogers and that he should be allowed to retain his position in the New Mexico Republican Party. She did not demand that Rogers apologize to the thousands of Native Americans and others that he offended.</p>
<p>This story won&#8217;t get even a blip on the national radar so I thought that it was worth a mention here.  If you think a meeting with tribal leaders is an affront to Lt. Colonel George Armstrong Custer<strong> </strong>and our national pride, then you have forgotten the story of the Indian Nations&#8230;  And you are one Republican who is Racist.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='580' height='357' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/QNCyd8uoBLg?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">CNN first brok this story and it has since been confirmed by RNC officials.  Apparently, two attendees got the boot for tossing peanuts at a black CNN camerawoman while shouting <em>&#8220;This is how we feed animals!&#8221; </em> The two were asked to leave by security.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Now is about the time  when the GOP Powered Media steps in and demands proof.  This is the same response they had to members of the Black Congressional Caucus being spit upon outside of the Capitol during the signing of the Affordable Care Act.  Deny, deny, deny and then claim that the people pointing out the racism are actually the racists.  The fact is that a couple of GOP rowdies got drunk and spoke out loud what so many others in that audience were only thinking.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Catch the speech by Condoleeza Rice last night?  My favorite part was how they kept showing close-ups of one black audience member and then they would pan out to show how he was alone in a sea of white people.  I know they wanted to highlight diversity at their convention but all they really did was illustrate one point&#8230;  Republicans are Racists.</p>
