  • GOP Meltdown 2012: Mapping Racist Tweets from the Presidential Election

    Data-mapping experts from the Floating Sheep blog mapped geo-located Tweets containing racist language during the build-up to the US election. I'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't #1. I guess that's part of what makes Alabama and Mississippi such magical places! Click here for details and…

  • Romney Rally Fail: Put the White Back in the White House!

    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 "Put the White back in the White House" but he wanted to spike the ball by adding a Romney / Ryan sticker to the top of the message. A Romney spokesperson commented that the shirt…

  • Texas Republicans Deface Obama Biden Sign... And No One is Suprised

    The next time a Texas Republican starts going on about "grass roots" campaigns like they believe the Tea Party to be, don't be fooled. The real grass roots campaign in Texas is the one being pursued by Texas' vast racist population. Cassy Zobel, an Obama supporter in McKinney, Texas, recently had the sign she put up covered and then scrawled with racism and profanity. It's been reported that Cassy told blogger Egberto Willies, “My next…

  • Texas Republican Lynches An Empty Chair

    Yesterday in Texas, the Burnt Orange Report 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. The poor chair was lynched in the front yard of an Austin, Texas homeowner and has many on the right asking, "How is that racist?  Chairs have no race!" The problem, as pointed out by Katherine Haenschen, is that Texas has a long history…

  • Anti-Obama Billboards in Hanson, Massachusetts: Racism or Just Bad Taste?

    I get it. If my candidate was an empty suit with hundreds of millions of dollars who didn't give two craps about people like me that make under $100k per year, I'd be pretty frustrated too. That's why these signs don't surprise me in the least. At the RNC, we saw a similar theme. It wasn't a Convention that was buzzing with excitement for their candidate... It was one boiling with hatred for the President.…

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

    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

    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…

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

    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

    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!"

    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…
