These aren't stereotypes. Unfortunately. When you have Barbour tacitly accepting commemoration of a KKK leader on a license plate, it's not a stereotype. When you have Youth for Western Civilization allowed to be a full participant in promoting your ideals, it's not a stereotype. When only 28% of GOP primary voters believe that our president is not a foreign national (of lot of which is based on name and skin color), it's not a stereotype. When tea party members hurled racial epithets at Rep. Carson and Rep. Lewis, it's not a stereotype.
Not all conservatives are racists. My dad is center right and not racist (a little homophobic, but not racist). My aunt is def. conservative and not racist. Most of my family is conservative, and not racist. However, there is a large number of racists that are conservative.
The Republican party or Conservatives has become synonymous with promoting bigotry and racial intolerance. This is clear. They have done nothing to dispel that notion and everything to perpetuate it.
That would have had to have been
a different article then, wouldn't it?
Not necessarily, I think accuracy in portrayal could be included in this piece. In fact it would have made the argument slightly stronger by not seeming as partisan and biased.
Actually I gave more than 3. Regardless, the fact that I gave three high profiled examples is still 3 too many.
Byrd being a member of the KKK was when the dems were CONSERVATIVE.
Biden calling Obama "clean" and "articulate" is less racist than ANY example I posted.
The whole context
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."
I don't really know if this is racist. Foot in mouth yes, but I think that Biden was trying to say that Obama was the first viable African American candidate.
There is a reason why I didn't include ambiguous remarks when citing examples.
Westboro would be considered conservative by most measures.
You're making it into a partisan issue, and I never once stated Republican (I made a point not to).
If we want to go historical, it was liberals who championed civil rights, not conservatives. In fact, most conservatives were against the idea of racial equality.
Yes, there are liberals who are racist...but it seems that there are more conservatives that are racist than there are liberals who are racist.
In other words all conservatives are racist and all liberals are are given a pass.
Robert Byrd was always a Democrat. There was nothing conservative about him. The leader of the Westboro Church ran for governor of Kansas 3 times. As a Democrat. He is still a democrat. But you excuse those. And what Biden said wasn't racist. LOLs.
Conservatives were not against the idea of racial equality. You're just rewriting history. Conservative were attempting to overturn Jim Crow laws. And it was Republicans in Congress that were for the Civil Rights Act. Not Democrats. The left has created this lie that the Democrats were really Repblicans then and Republicans were really Democrats. The best is when the left says it was liberals that ended slavery. LOLs.
Yes, there are conservatives who are racist...but it seems that there are more liberals that are racist than there are conservatives who are racist
Let's look at the track record since the 1960s when liberals started "helping" blacks. Blacks have 70% out of wedlock births. 50% unemployment among black men under the age of 25. 50% of black males drop out of school. Over 70% of the ones that do stay in school can't read at a 12th grade level when they graduate. None of this was true before all these wonderful liberal programs were started. Nice job liberals.
Most Black, Asian, and Hispanics in congress are to the left, not the right (Democrat). Like the VAST majority.
Last election the republicans voted in more minorites than did the democrats. Like the VAST majority of minorities elected were Republicans.
I love how you liberals think. All Republicans are racist. Some one points out to you that they aren't. You ignore FACTS and just come up with some made up crap to make yourself feel better. Yawn.

So which is it? You're "more likely to be racist" or "large number of racists"? Or, since most of your family is conservative and NOT racist, are you just lying, making things up, or parroting the garbage that NPR spews?
Sorry but most of the racist people I know are white and republicans.
Could it have to do with your location? ever gave that any thought? Location could have a lot to do with that, for example I used to live in Akron,Ohio and it is a {D} strong hold. In my neighborhood the only conservatives I knew were myself and one other person. And my experience was that even though it was a {D} stronghold there was racism in that city.
So should I travel the road of pure ignorance and conclude that all liberals are racist ? Well sorry I have a little common sense and know for a fact that there is racist in both parties. Funny thing about racism it comes in many colors,sizes,shapes,and forms.
It will be a long wait because they are PC hypocrites. See, it is ok to use derogatory terms against conservative blacks but they would be up in arms if the same terms were used against Obama. If it is a black conservative you can use terms such as Uncle Tom, house n******* or porch monkeys. But if the black person has a {D} next to their name don't you dare they will sick Jesse and Sharpton on your a$$.
I'm thinking that Jackson and Sharpton sick themselves on anyone in these race issues. I can't imagine they are really endorsed by the Democrats or that they show up due to a Democratic directive so-to-speak...
And PC hypocrites? Show me someone in the political arena who isn't guilty of that.
That's great. Your post is in reference to "most of the rascist people I know are white and republican"...Continue to pour gas on the flames with this narrow minded thinking...
