The story of Tennessee Republican Sheila Butt and her call for the formation of the "NAAWP" has been getting a lot of play in the media this week. She certainly deserves a mention on this website but I'm afraid that any attempt at a take down would pale in comparison to the one done by The Wonkette. Here are a few tidbits from her article. Gather round, little children, your Tennessee Wonkette has a nice…
Over the past week, I have received several messages taunting me over Donald Sterling, the well-known racist and owner of the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers. Readers want to know why I don't point out this racist "Democrat." There is no quetion that Sterling's comments were racist so let's start with the recording that started it all: I did not post this video on this website before because I don't consider Donald Sterling to be a political…
Well, Republican Primary Season is upon us once again and nothing gets the truth out of GOP candidates quite like the mad dash to the right that they all do in order to please the base. Some candidates know exactly what their kind wants to hear and it leads some of them to drop the dog whistles and come straight out with it. Today we get to hear from Texas Republican Senate Candidate Chris Mapp…
Over the past few weeks, Fox News and it's Conservative Media clones have been madly pushing their anti-government agenda by using Nevada Rancher Cliven Bundy as their new hero. Conservative Media heroes like Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity have spearheaded their attacks of "Big Government" by trying to fan the flames of this stand-off between the rancher and the Federal Government... And many Republican elected officials have rushed to show support of Bundy.…
The Heritage Foundation has recently put forward a report bagging on a Senate immigration bill that would legalize the United States' 11 million unauthorized immigrants and bring in more foreign workers on work visas. The report from the GOP backed "think tank" 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…
The Republican outreach to minorities continues! The new Republican party wants non-white citizens to understand that they aren't just the party of old, white guys. The GOP is now opening the tent wide for people of all creeds and colors. Continuing that effort, Oklahoma Republican House Majority Leader Dennis Johnson used his time during a floor debate to discuss effective strategies for small business owners. “There’s such a thing called niche marketing,” he began. “You…
Here we go again. Another old, white Republican elected official forgets that he's not among his cronies and utters another racist comment on the record. Republican Saline County Commissioner Jim Gile used the term "nigger-rigging" during a commission discussion about hiring an architect to work on a county building. County residents immediately started calling for his resignation which forced Mr. Gile to apologize. The Salina Journal, a local newspaper, reported the incident like this: In…
With it's recent "autopsy" 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 do want to stop saying what they think when other people can hear what they are saying. Reince Priebus, Chairman…
CPAC is back! It's my favorite time of year and I'd like to start with a Q&A discussion session titled "Trump the Race Card: Are You Sick and Tired of Being Called a Racist and You Know You're Not One?" What a fantastic title! I'm sure some of my conservative visitors helped come up with that one. True to form, a discussion of how Republicans are tired of being called racists turned into a display…
Jennifer Olsen, chairwoman of the Yellowstone County Republicans and co-founder of the Montana Shrugged Tea Party group, shared an offensive and blatantly racist photo on her Facebook profile... 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. To see the entire screenshot, visit…
