I don't think Islamic militants did this. They usually wait until schools are FULL of innocent children before blowing them up.

You haven't proof those acts were not racists, nor that it wasn't done by Republicans, you also haven't proven that those who did the racist acts don't have large followings in the Republican party.

Of course I haven't. I didnt make the claim that they were. You did, so it…

If you think the Tennessee GOP and the California Women republicans are the equivalent to "a large majority of Republicans", then you need to study more math as well as history. If this is your 'proof', then you have nothing.

Do you want to talk about current politics or historical…

The CD, you conveninently dont mention, was universally CONDEMNED by the leaders of the GOP. THe man who distributed it had his career effectively ended.

Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. He represents Rush Limbaugh.

Waffle mix? You are really stretching here. The same company also parodies Sarah Palin- check their…

At least parties in the US actually get the chance to voice themselves. Campaigns in Japan are so short, and so restricted, that all most people see is a white glove emerging ghostlike from a white van while listening to a leather lunged harridan scream the politician's name over and…

ＢＬＭ, I did not ignore your examples, I dont think they are really relevant. You said, "THE BASE" of the GOP. You have yet to even determine what that means. All you are doing is throwing up charming anecdote after anecdote.

By the way, which "major republican forum" called the…

BLM;

I think they are all the same- just examples and anecdotes. None of which proves "the base" of the GOP is racist. First, you have to be clear about what "the base" is.

As for the song, you may remember that Newt Gingrich said about it, "This is so…

I am still waiting for evidence of the "racist base" of the GOP. One admin assistant of a congressman sending a stupid picture just doesn't cut it.

Hell, you could make the argument that Obama is racist. He wants an incumbent BLACK governor (Paterson of New York) to remove himself…

Doesnt matter that the debt was inherited. It exists and needs to be eliminated. Or at least capped, but increased?!? Utter folly. Utterly irresponsible and immoral to leave it up to future generations. to pay for the greed of our own.

I am still waiting to hear about anything racist that the GOP has done. The conflicting views of history are nice, but aside from being long C&P sections of Wikipedia, they don't really explain much.

Modern racism has its roots in the deep South, in democratic politicians who wanted to…
