  • "Somebody Else's Babies": A Congressman Says the Quiet Part, in Twelve Words, on a Sunday

    On Sunday, Rep. Steve King of Iowa tweeted twelve words in praise of the Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders: "We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies." He has spent the days since explaining that he meant culture. The sentence contains the word "babies." Babies do not have a culture yet. They have parents, and the parents are the part he can see.

  • Colin Powell Emails Expose His Opinion on Racism in the GOP

    For years, Colin Powell has been one of the Republicans used as an example of how the GOP simply cannot be racist. How can we be racist when Colin Powell thinks we're cool?

  • Sheila Butt and the Struggle for the Advancement of White People

    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…

  • Oklahoma GOP Leader Gets "Jewed Down" On A Price

    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…

  • Republican County Commissioner Says He Isn’t a Racist Because He Has a Black Friend

    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…

  • Republican Congressman Used to Hire 50 to 60 "Wetbacks" to Pick Tomatoes

    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…

  • "Legitimate Rape" Doesn't Cause Pregnancy

    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…

  • Governor Chris Christie Calls for a Referendum on Civil Rights

    Chris Christie Psycho Talk About Civil Rights This one speaks for itself. The Governor says people would have rather voted on Civil Rights than fight for them in the 60's... But he has forgotten one thing... The people who were demanding their civil rights couldn't vote. You can't vote for your civil rights when you don't have civil rights. This just goes to show that even when one spends months convincing you that he is…

  • Jan Brewer gives President Obama the Finger... Sort of.

    Jan Brewer, the Governor of Arizona, met President Obama at the airport as he landed in her state for a visit on January 25th.  Governor Brewer describes a meeting with the President in her book, Scorpions for Breakfast, in a way that the President disputes.  She described him as condescending and he claims that the meeting was cordial.  This was apparently brought up on the tarmac and the photo above was snapped by reporters watching the exchange. “The governor…
