caught in hypocrisy and lies. I rest my case
lol @ moonbat circle-jerk
Hypocrisy? Sorry I don't see how there is any hypocrisy there at all. Do you know the definition of this word?
You're a hypocrite because you call all republicans and their base bigots then when a democrat supporter is obviously bigoted you say "They deserved it though for having a different political opinion than the one with which I agree." Must have even worse schools than the USA down unda'.
I guess maybe you are just once again neglecting how I clearly have been over exaggerating which essentially is what politicians do so I'm just joining them
Is the Republican Party Racist?
Schaller builds this conclusion on one of the most impressive papers in recent political science, "Old Times There Are Not Forgotten: Race and Partisan Realignment in the Contemporary South," by Nicholas Valentino and David Sears. Running regressions on a massive data set of ideological opinions, Sears and Valentino demonstrate with precision that for example, a white Southern man who calls himself a "conservative," controlling for racial at udes, is no less likely to chance a vote for a Democratic presidential candidate than a Northerner who calls himself a conservative. Likewise, a pro-life or hawkish Southern white man is no less likely—again controlling for racial at udes—than a pro-life or hawkish Northerner to vote for the Democrat. But, on the other hand, when the relevant identifier is anti-black answers to survey questions (such as whether one agrees "If blacks would only try harder they could be just as well off as whites," or choosing whether blacks are "lazy" or "hardworking"), an untoward result jumps out: white Southerners are twice as likely than white Northerners to refuse to vote for the Democratic presidential candidate. Schaller writes: "Despite the best efforts of Republican spinmeisters … the partisan impact of racial at udes in the South is stronger today than in the past."

10 Conservatives Who Have Praised American Slavery
For obvious reasons, the American conservative movement has long been dogged by accusations of racism and racial insensitivity. From their famed Southern strategy to their determined efforts to suppress minority voting via phony voter ID initiatives to their race-baiting Obama attacks, conservatives have made clear their opposition to a tolerant, multicultural America. In fact, much of their electoral strategy relies on scaring older, white voters about blacks and Hispanics taking over "their" country.
So it's not uncommon to hear a prominant conservative, even one who holds elected office, make patently offensive remarks. Yet some occasionally hit an unimaginable low. This week, it was revealed that Republican Rep. Jon Hubbard has published a book in which he wrote that “[T]he ins ution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise. He defended his book on Wednesday, telling the Jonesboro Sun [3] that he still believed slavery to be a blessing because it helped blacks come to America. Yes, he praised slavery. And when given the opportunity to backpedal, he doubled down.
You may think that this does not occur often. You would be wrong. Here are a few other prominent conservatives who have suggested slavery was not all that bad.
1. Pat Buchanan. In his essay “A Brief for Whitey,” Buchanan suggested that slavery was a net positive, saying that,“America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.”
2. & 3. Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum. Bob Vander Plaats, the leader of the arch-conservative Family Leader, a religious organization that opposes same-sex marriage, got GOP presidential candidates Bachmann and Santorum to sign his pledge asserting that life for African Americans was better during the era of slavery: “A child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African American baby born after the election of the USA’s first African-American President.”
4. Art Robinson. Robinson was a publisher and a GOP candidate for congress in Oregon. One of the books he published included this evaluation of life under slavery: “The negroes on a well-ordered estate, under kind masters, were probably a happier class of people than the laborers upon any estate in Europe.”
5. Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson. Peterson is a conservative preacher who articulated this bit of gra ude: “Thank God for slavery, because if not, the blacks who are here would have been stuck in Africa.”
6. David Horowitz. Horowitz is the president of the David Horowitz Freedom Center and edits the ultra-conservative FrontPage magazine. In a diatribe against reparations for slavery, Horowitz thought this argument celebrating the luxurious life of blacks in America would bolster his case: “If slave labor created wealth for Americans, then obviously it has created wealth for black Americans as well, including the descendants of slaves.”
7. Wes Riddle. Riddle was a GOP congressional candidate in Texas with some peculiar conspiracy theories on a variety of subjects. His appreciation for what slavery did for African Americans was captured in this comment: “Are the descendants of slaves really worse off? Would Jesse Jackson be better off living in Uganda?”
8. Trent Franks. Franks is the sitting congressman for the second congressional district in Arizona. As shown here, he believes that a comparison of the tribulations of African Americans today to those of their ancestors in the Confederacy would favor a life in bondage: “Far more of the African American community is being devastated by the policies of today than were being devastated by the policies of slavery.”
9. Ann Coulter. Known for her incendiary rhetoric and hate speech, Coulter was right in character telling Megyn Kelly of Fox News that, "The worst thing that was done to black people since slavery was the great society programs."
10. Rep. Loy Mauch. This Arkansas GOP state legislator has found biblical support for his pro-slavery position. He wrote to the Democrat-Gazette to inquire, "If slavery were so God-awful, why didn’t Jesus or Paul condemn it, why was it in the Cons ution and why wasn’t there a war before 1861?"
There is an almost palpable nostalgia among some conservatives for a bygone era wherein they could sip mint juleps under the magnolias while the fields were tended to by unpaid lackeys.
And it isn’t a vague insinuation. Mitt Romney supporter Ted Nugent declared [4], “I’m beginning to wonder if it would have been best had the South won the Civil War.”
No one should regard it as a coincidence that so much of this racist animus has surfaced during the term of the first African-American president of the United States. It’s one thing to harbor such offensive racial prejudices privately, but when people in public life are comfortable enough to openly express opinions like these, it reveals something of the character of their movement. And what’s worse is that conservative and Republican leaders, given the opportunity, refuse to repudiate the remarks. Mitt Romney has stated that all he’s concerned about is getting 50.1% of the vote, and if that means tolerating appeals to racist voters in order to attain his goal, then it’s just a part of the process.

Go ahead, right-wingers, keep denying that Repugs/conservative/1% aren't reflexively racist (of course a huge proportion of the 47% are black or brown), dog-whistling to the rural/Confederate bubbas.
Conservatives are not inherently racist, idiot.
Then why do so many Repugs dog-whistle, or worse, for, and maintain, their racist (Southern, rural) base?
Am I the only one here who never reads anything Deuxchbag posts? He's the blue version of Rush Limp .
You Can't Handle the Truths and Slapping. GFY
You're such a homer and campaigner and you're saturated with lexicon of talk show gibberish. People like you are more suited to communism tbh.
tbh?
you, honest?
You stupid mother ers think anyone who is against conservative/Repug/1%/"Christian" lies and bull is necessary a communist or, horrors!, a Dem.
There is structural racism for sure in the south. However, conservatives are not exclusively southern.
Also, you continue to conflate republicans with conservatives.
This post is rich in Vitamin I.
ah yes, the old "I'm pure-as-snow conservative" NOT a Repug, never get anything, never do anything wrong.
I suppose 90%+ of you pure conservatives vote straight Repug ticket nearly every election, right?
The above-the-fray, pure conservatives, and the VRWC, enable the Repugs to up the country.
You suppose alot of that is incorrect. Nothing new.
still waiting for your refutation, but get weak
Disgraced former S.C. Gov Sanford says Obama will ‘throw a lot of spears’ at next debate.Former South Carolina Governor and Fox News contributor Mark Sanford wandered off the Appalachian Trail again Sunday morning when, in yet another completely isolated example of a Republican being totally-not-racist even though he sounds racist, said that President Obama is going to “come out and throw a lot of spears” at Tuesday’s upcoming debate.
Gov. Sanford first praised former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney‘s performance at the first debate, then predicted that “You know, obviously Obama will come out in this case much more forcefully and he will throw a lot of spears.”

Well, it is Confederate South Carolina

that picture
Refutation? You've yet to post anything to refute. You don't understand structural racism as it applies to the south in general. You are not capable of having an objective conversation on anything that hits your moonbat VRWC radar.
You refuse to admit that Repugs, starting with Nixon and A er, have recruited racist southern, and non-southern rural, Dems to the Repug party, and you snow-pure conservatives don't give a to align yourself with racist Repugs.
LOUD NOISES!!!!1111
I've already discussed the southern strategy on this board more than once. I even did it without cutting and pasting from a blog.
See again, structural racism.
ing idiot.
Yet another confirmation of the Repugs racist Southern Strategy of the 1960s to recruit racist Southern Dems, esp Southern Baptist Dems, from the Confederacy to the Repug party.
Ingraham points to Southern strategy for reforming Republican Party
when Goldwater got s acked in ’64, Bill Buckley and Brent Bozell Sr. and all these conservatives got together and they said, we’re going to figure out how to sell this idea of economic conservatism and the conservative framework to new voters. And they went into the South and they transformed Mississippi and Alabama, all these places where people had never voted Republican before.”
In his book “From the New Deal to the New Right: Race and the Southern Origins of Modern Conservatism,” author Joseph Lowndes points out that William F. Buckley’s used his National Review to argue that southern whites were superior to blacks and Brent Bozell wrote that the federal government had no right to end segregation.

Some great Ingraham bull there. Getting southern Dems to switch to Repug party, the famous Southern Strategy, wasn't about "economic conservatism"
