Race plays a part but all will say they have black friends- and probably do - its about ideology-- and how to put the other guy down to raise themselves up- so they play all the cards on the deck to win over their constituents. One thing as an independent I see is: Dems come up with quirky ideas- Reps come up with ways to knock down the opponents- but bring no ideas-- you go add it up--
I hear many urban liberal haters spout prejudice and racism on the various liberal Sirius talk channels and shake my head and wonder what caves they must live in. So its a problem both parties share equally. But you grossly exaggerate what you believe to be true so fortunately its not as big a problem as all that.
Obama invites criticism from many quarters, some of it unwarranted. But its his arrogant stupidity and bass ackward idiotic policies and divisionist beliefs that bring it on himself. Likewise, much of that criticism is dismissed as being based on racism or prejudice but that's a dodge and most thinking people know it.
I can't tell you how tired I am of seeing some backwoods knuckle dragger stand up at a candidate's poltical rally or meeting and say something to the effect of ...."what we gun do bout that ther muslim in the white house, that black muslim?....
And the worst part of it is that we Republicans seem to embrace a philosophy of passive tolerance to these idots.... and why? Because they vote Republican? We don't need these uneducated hicks votes!
This plays right in to the Democrats hands every time something like this happens and candidates don't call it out for what it is! McCain is the only one who did the right thing and stood his ground and put the idiot in his audience back in her place. He didn't want to get her vote by being complicit in her ignorance. Every time one of these hillbillies says something like this and it goes unchallenged, it just lends credibility to the Dems false portrayal of all Republicans being beer guzzling rednecks with an 8th grade education.
First Donald Trump failed us in this regard, and now Carly Fiorina. THIS MUST STOP!!! This is not what the Conservative movement is about... If you're one of these people who believe that Obama is "an arab" or a "muslim", and that combined with his "blackness" somehow disqualifies him from being president in "your white, Christian nation"... than go crawl back under your rock and stay there!!!! There is NO place for you in the Conservative movement you anti-freedom, slanderous hypocrite!
Stop getting bent out of shape when people talk this talk. Either get into a civil conversation with facts, or politely forgo conversations.
It goes both ways.. They , the media lied about Palin (seeing Russia from her house, as we all know that was Tina Fey). Everyone laughed and pushed. Obama, not so much. You cant say one dang thing about him without hurting someones feelings. And Clinton started the birther movement.. The Muslim thing is a technical question. According to Muslim faith, if your father is a muslim, then you are. Denouncing it, the Mulsim faith, is not a thing they take lightly. So, did he denounce it, sorta, as he went to a Christian Church for sometime.. Does it matter, to some it does. . Truth is all some want. Poltics hide and lie facts all the time...
Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25%
African Negro from his father's side.
So what do we call him. I say American..You can have the BS African American crap, because he isnt by percentage
The problem, WhipperSnapper, is that the Republican Party made the decision in the late 1960s to throw in its lot with racists when it embarked on welcoming segregationist ex-Democrats like Strom Thurmond, Trent Lott, etc into the Republican Party. It saw lots of votes to be picked up in the South by tacitly accommodating race hatred, and it sold its soul for them. The GOP has shown remarkable tolerance for racists ever since, even having a KKK leader run in GOP presidential primaries (David Duke), and in recent years, with the rise of the Tea Party, bigotry among Republican conservative candidates has become almost a requirement.
You bed down with flea-ridden dogs, you're gonna get their fleas.
It is nothing compared to the mainstream, current Democrat tolerance and coordination with racists such as La Raza, any number of Black Nationalist rent seeking groups, and any number of other racist minority organizations.
Then the Left gets in a huff when White people get upset and speak up for themselves after being racially attacked for five decades, culminating in the most ridiculous national demonization of a majority in the past decade that the West has ever known. What was it that you said? Something about fleas?
You can't make your entire political perspective about race and then get upset when your favorite target for several decades decides that it doesn't want to be a target anymore. The Left has determined the political climate, has amped the rhetoric and lies up beyond all rational boundaries, and is now receiving backlash. It's temper tantrum is that of an infant.
Funny that the right-wingers that are angry at the OP I always had suspicions of. Well, one poster on here openly posts about white nationalism, but the rest try to hide their bigotry. There are smart conservatives that aren't bigots on here, I know, but they are drowned out by the ones who are
Did you read that RINOs?
You got some approval from the racist Left because you attacked people that the Left sees as inimical to its political agendas!
Savor it! It's praise that is few and far in-between. Good job, though. You really are the "good" conservatives"! The Left says so, which tells everyone everything that is required to know about your views.
Also, remind me, which minority groups, exactly, "try to hide their bigotry"?
Which Leftist groups, to include MSM institutions, "try to hide" their racist anti-majority bigotry?
How is your double standard not the most blind and cynical bigotry?
In your opinion, starting right now, what individuals belonging to other groups can we subject to an institutionally facilitated and society wide open debate on their supposed privilege? Oh, perhaps that would be racist.

Its a shame, certainly. But, both parties have too many ignorant racist hicks. Let's not give Democrats a pass on racism. The rank and file Democrat is every bit as much or more racist than the Hick racist in the GOP. And let's not forget that blacks by a wide margin refused to vote in favour of gay rights/marriage, and most blacks are Democrat voters.
Thus, this (ignorant, racist, bigots) is not a conservative or GOP problem. This is a problem that cuts across social strata and political ideologies in the US. On the whole, I think we deal with diversity much better than many nations. Nonetheless, racism, be it black on white or white on black or any other type, is a scourge of our time, and despite the enormous progress we have made as a nation, the very existence of these few cretins allows those who would exploit racism and the race card the opportunity to raise the same even where inappropriate.
Its up to all of us, liberals and conservatives alike, to call out those who make ignorant remarks and who hold racist, bigoted notions to the detriment of our nation.

Don't forget Scalise, who liked hanging with KKK members and is currently the third ranking member of the Republican House.
Was she supposed to get into an argument with him over his statement?
By the way, are you not aware that Obama spent his formative years living and going to school in a Muslim country, enrolled as a Muslim student in a private Muslim school in Kenya?
lmao... 7 years in and you guys continue to show your ignorance.
And let's not forget that blacks by a wide margin refused to vote in favour of gay rights/marriage, and most blacks are Democrat voters.
Realize that Americans as a whole have rejected so-called "gay rights" and "gay 'marriage'" but courts have ruled against them and shoved these things down our throats.
