  • Martin Dyckman: Reading the polls: The weight of race | StAugustine.com

    Republicans Are Racists -- and they're not shy about it

    Over the weekend, Martin Dyckman (formerly of the St. Petersburg Times) wrote an article on StAugustine.com that won't be received well in Florida. In this article, he discusses the weight of the "race card" in the 2012 elections.  As a Florida native who spent over 30 years living in the state, I know it's bigoted underbelly (read: the Panhandle.)  Here are some snippets: Another reason is the opposition’s relentless campaign to demonize not only Obama’s record but…

  • The Republican Twitterverse's Racist Response to President Obama's DNC Speech

    Tweet by Leslie Bennett (Proud to be an American and Christian - Nashville, Tennessee)

    Twitter, since it's creation, has always been a unique window to peek in at the demons living inside of people's heads. President Obama'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. The speech actually set a political record for Twitter with people tweeting at an amazing 52,757 tweets per minute.  As you…

  • Albuquerque Attorney Patrick Rogers Wants to Avenge Little Bighorn

    Republicans Are Racists -- and they're not shy about it

    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 "[t]he state is going to hell" and that the Governor's meeting "dishonored Col. Custer." That's right.  We're going to fight Little Bighorn…

  • Republicans Kicked Out Of The Republican National Convention

    Republicans Are Racists -- and they're not shy about it

    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 "This is how we feed animals!"  The two were asked to leave by security. 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…

  • Hurricane Bears Down on NOLA: Rush Makes a Suggestion

    Rush Limbaugh speaking at a conference

    Here we go again.  The defacto leader of the Republican Party has a new plan for killing "Democrats" (read: poor, black citizens) in New Orleans.  Alas, no action was taken and the levees held but Republicans can keep their fingers crossed that another storm will visit Louisiana this season and maybe they will be able to get this plan in place. Here's a transcript for those that can't stand to listen to Rush's voice. RUSH…

  • "Legitimate Rape" Doesn't Cause Pregnancy

    Todd Akin official congressional portrait

    Here is another in our series of videos where Republicans aren't necessarily racists... Just misogynists. Republican candidate Todd Akin of Missouri sits on CNN and boldly states that in cases of "legitimate rape" that the body will not allow pregnancy to occur. He says "from what I understand from doctors" to qualify the statement (and give it that science-y feel) but the fact is that he's pulling this right out of his ass. Somehow, the…

  • Don't Re-Nig in 2012: Dogwhistles are for Sissies

    Don’t Re-Nig in 2012

    Republicans keep stooping to new lows and the racism becomes more and more blatant as the election arrives. This bumpersticker, sold by Stumpy's Stickers, is just the latest in an ever-growing library of offensive attacks on the President of the United States by so-called patriots on the right. If you think this kind of thing is okay to say about the elected leader of the country you supposedly love, then you are another example of…

  • President Obama is not Eligible to be President - Because He's Black

    Barack Obama speaking with a microphone at a town hall event

    Sometimes the depth of Republican Racism surprises even me. It's one thing for Federal Judges to forward racist emails, for various TV personalities to blow their dogwhistles, and for tea party protestors to have their racist signs... But surely Republicans wouldn't put their racism right out there in the Federal record! Wrong. Gordon Warren Epperly, America's newest racist of record, has filed a lawsuit in Alaska to bar President Obama from being on the ballot.…

  • "Go To Hell, Barack!"

    Barack Obama speaking with a microphone at a town hall event

    The party that claims to be so patriotic that they bleed red, white and blue has one small problem... They hate having a black President far more than they love America. In 2003, when President G.W. Bush (whom I still have the respect to call by the title his former office deserves) visited my former home town, I was placed in a fenced in cage ("free speech zone") outside of the auditorium that the President…

  • Hey Ladies! Rush Limbaugh Wants to Watch You Have Sex...

    Rush Limbaugh speaking at a conference

    From the March 1 editon of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show... I cannot think of anything sexier for a woman than Rush Limbaugh watching her have sex. This clip isn't racist. I'll tell you that now. But it's here because, in 2012, misogynism and racism go hand-in-hand with the Republican party. Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown law student, testified about contraception and Rush disagrees so it's time for him to attack. The recent fights…
