Here we go again. The GOP just can't control its state administrative party minions. This is pretty ugly.

state politics can be dirty, they are often not watched as closely and forget themselves. But this does show us how they talk and behave in general. to be fair we see it on both sides, but i have to give it to the GOP for volume and repetition.

The GOP repeatedly pulls this crap and is forced to apologize. Their state apparatuses have a bunch of fruitcakes working for 'em.

The GOP needs to adopt a zero tolerance for racism policy with immediate expulsion, no exemptions for violators.

Of course, we all know this will never happen. The modern GOP is a White nationalist party at it's roots. Racism is their bread and butter.

If they do that they will have no constituents/voters left.

You mean like when Symone Sanders (former Bernie spokesperson and current CNN hack) proclaimed on national television that "we don't need white people leading the Democratic Party"?

Former Sanders Spokeswoman: "We Don't Need White People Leading The Democratic Party" | Video | RealClearPolitics

Or when Hillary joked about knowing a Mahatma Ghandi who owned a gas station down in St. Louis?

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/01/07/ny...hi-remark.html

Or when Bill de Blasio joked about being on "CPT" (colored people time)?

Bill de Blasio's 'colored people's time' joke comes at a bad time | MSNBC

Or when Bill Clinton stated that a few years ago Barack would've been getting him coffee?

Or when Joe Biden proclaimed: “You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian Accent.”

Or when former DC councilman and mayor stated: "We got to do something about these Asians coming in and opening up businesses and dirty shops. They ought to go."

Or when then-Dem Senator and former KKK leader Robert Byrd so calmly used the world "******" on television:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnO6ai0Ktro Yes, context matters for that one, but you know that a GOPer using the same word in the same context would've been hounded by the press/leftists.

Or when Al Sharpton proclaimed that "White folks was in caves while we were building empires…. We taught philosophy and astrology [sic] and mathematics before Socrates and those Greek homos ever got around to it." Note, this was one of many racist Al Sharpton quotes over the years. Yet, the left continued to embrace him (as oppose to shunning him). Hell, he even got a television show on MSNBC.

Or the many leftist "activists" of today condemning white men for being white men?

Don't get me wrong. Whoever posted that comment about Ellison is hate-filled and has to go (as the state GOP leadership is ensuring to), but quit acting like leftists are saints on this front.

So...mild racism vs off the cliff insanely insulting racism in a attempt to say "but they're just as bad".

False equivalency fallacy

If you think what those Dems did and said is "mild racism," that's a problem in and of itself.
