There is no way to know for a FACT that the number of racists in the republican party exceeds those in the democratic party so your assertion is bunk. You need to quit using sources such as MoveOn.org to fuel your blind rage and stereotypes against republicans.

Then why do you keep insisting that racist outbursts at republican rallies were liberal plants?

Towards the end of the campaign, Palin (the campaign left this to her) was reduced to appealing to the worst in people's nature, people in "real america", "he's not like us" etc. Her speech seemed very inciteful.

You say there is racists in both parties, I say there is racism in everyone. Racism is like the matrix in this country.

If that woman who said "He's a Erib" and that awful man who stood up in the audience and pontificated at length (I think these were the same McCain rally?) - and that blond woman in the other video in a parking lot who kept sticking her fact in the camera and arguing - if they were liberal plants they were absolutely brilliant. Big A+ to the casting team

As I stated, there are racists in both parties. I do strongly suspect that at least some of those outbursts that occured at her rally's were liberal plants to add fuel to the assertion that republicans are racists. It was just too convenient to have those moments recorded and exploited by the liberals to discredit the republican party.

By the way, what was the context in which Palin made those statements about "real america" and "he's not like us"? I don't believe that the party platform of the democratic party represents real america and that has nothing to do with race but my feelings that the democratic party has moved too far to the left of mainstream america. He's not like us - it may be a racist comment or it could mean that he is too liberal and out of the mainstream. So please educate me on what the context in which Palin made those comments so I can judge for myself whether she was being racist and not vote for her if she ever attempts to run for president because I detest racism in all forms.

I don't visit MoveOn.org. It's a FACT that the racist South CONSISTENTLY votes Republican. Deal. You're the one who's blind, Ms. Conspiracy Theorist. And it's people like you who will take down not only this nation, but this planet. Ignorance, fear, and blind faith. I mean, seriously, people who believe that the fascist, racist nutjobs who filled the Palin/McCain rallies were "liberal plants" are nothing less that insane.

Do you have proof of the south being racist and can you show me a party breakdown as to whom the racist people in the south vote for and the non-racist folks vote for? Just because the south goes republican does not mean that republican = racist.

Unfortunately racism exists all over the country not just the south.
