I'll hold my nose and vote for anyone who can beat Obama!

Oh fine, here's the latest of many. I didn't want to post it as people will think I'm calling Republicans dumb too, but...you asked for it.

Key quote (from one of them crazy liberul college edumacated types): Polling data and social and political science research do show that prejudice is more common in those who hold right-wing ideals that those of other political persuasions, Nosek told LiveScience.

You could read up on "Southern Strategy" or "Right Wing Authoritarianism and Racism" if you want to go down the rabbit hole too. Again, it's all out there with a few clicks.

Tap out!

Makes no difference. Those who don't want to admit the truth will nitpick every piece of data, every scientific theory, to their particular angle, which is why I didn't bother putting up links before. But it's true, and at varying levels I think everyone knows it. And again, it's not that every Republican is racist. That's not the point. But the fact that a majority of racists are Republican is something the party should own. It should enthusiastically review its proud history on race relations and ask itself where it went wrong, and then it should set about fixing it. Not point out 50 or 150 year old achievements and act like that's where they are today. I know there are plenty of people on that side of the aisle out there who believe that--as I have controversially (?) noted, I am friends with a wide variety of them. They all despise the directions their party has been pulled in, and not just since the rise of the Tea Party.

Heh, I'm guessing NAMBLA types are probably Libertarian, the less legislation the better and whatnot. And I've heard a lot more about the left wing war on Christianity than I've actually seen it anywhere.

Harry Hay and Allen Ginsberg are icons for progressive democrats...both openly defended NAMBLA. For years the NAMBLA agenda was unabashedly linked to gay rights, hardly a bastion for libertarians. As for any perceived or actual war on Christianity, I'd feel FAR more comfortable going to work and proclaiming myself to be an atheist than to proclaim my love of and faith in Jesus Christ.

That wouldn't get you far here in the Denver 'burbs.

I don't know many people who would be comfortable going to their place of work and declaring anything about their faith or lack thereof, it's not really the appropriate place, is it? Ginsberg is a literary icon but I wasn't aware of his vast political child molesting cache; no idea who Harry Hay is.

It is, according to this Democrats affiliations tend to be less educated, it is linked to low IQ:

They went for Obama in '08; obviously chocked full of child molesters. Dudes are ICONS!

[SealBeachHusker]

Am I missing something? You decry racism and turn right around and call Obama one. Curious to see the evidence you have to support the claim that Obama is a racist.

Ironically if/when a white politician regularly attends church services of racist reverends or gives introductions for racialist professors people tend to see that as evidence of racism. Weird.

Ah, link war. I said I'd never do it again, and here we are. *Yawn* You win, the modern Republican party is not any more racist than the modern Democratic party, try not to get too much sand up your nose.

Nah, something like it is as prevelant in the Dems and it is in the Pubs with the Dems having a very rich history of racism. Since you are already looking down your nose, can you tell me how much sand is in there?

Heh, I get why ChiTown had to lay down the law a few weeks back. Like I said, you win brother. You're right, it's a 50/50 split between parties, the facts back that up.

Semantics...it applies to anywhere publically. Harry Hay is quite well thought of among progressives it would seem:

A great civil-rights leader died last month. His name was Harry Hay.

Ginsberg very openly supported NAMBLA as well. Do racist registered republicans only count if they have racist cache? The founders and supporters of NAMBLA we're progressive democrats.as I said, every political persuasion has their extremists.

[HuskerNCorpus]

Really, it's silly to even argue about.

Are there more racist blacks and hispanics in the Democratic party than the Republican party?

Are there more racist whites in the Republican party than the Democratic party?

Who cares. We all agree that neither party represents racism. Sure, there are racists on both ends of the isle. Depending on whether you're talking about only white racists or all racists, results would probably vary.

You spend a lot of time keeping people calm???

Better posters than you have tried that angle and failed. I dont hold out much hope for your success with it either.

I post substantive responses to those I deem worthy of them. You rarely if ever fit in to that category. You came into this thread simply seeking my attention, and I willingly gave it to you as I know how important it is to you. I asked you what your first post had to do with the post you quoted. You answered with a question, not an answer. I made an attempt to clarify your intent, you answered with a ".".

The discussion was going along swimmingly until you showed up focused on me instead of the subject at hand. If you had simply come in and posted your video and commented on discriminatory politics, or whatever your point was, I'm sure we could have had a nice discussion about it. It saddens me that you didn't take that approach.

Now that all of that is out of the way..... The group McKinney and I were talking about is not Discriminatory.

There's extremists, and then there's a culture that invites a certain type.
