look at all the people that were afraid of JFK because he was catholic, or all the people from the left that were fearmongering at mitt romney because he is mormon
"people from the left that were fearmongering [sic] ....because he is mormon [sic]"???? Look again. Many, many who call themselves "Christian" have issues with Mormons. That came from the right as well as the left.
You've got it backwards, Jadex. I'm not calling Republicans racists for being Republicans. I am pointing out that when the Republican Party made a clear effort at recruiting southern racists by adopting racist policies (the well-known Southern strategy), it worked, and attracted racists into the party.
No actually I dont but lets make it clear there is racist in both parties but some only wants to point out how its in 1 party not both
Steele as the leader of the Gop is doing his job and stating the position of the gop. The same postion that democrats had against Lott when they including Reid demand that Lott step down
But that's not what was said. You got it completely backwards. The post you quoted says that the racists switched from being Democrats to being Republicans. No where does it even suggest that they were being referred to as racist simply because they became Republicans.
lol Southern racist cant possibly be democrat right they must be republican
Because there is no one in the south that is racist and democrat

When "racist" consistently champion issues that are important to the African American community I can only say, I wish there were more racist like that.
How about, none of the above? I can't stand the guy, but what he said was true, and everyone knows it, so why give in to political correctness? A black man who speaks ebonics would never get elected President in this country. Nor would a white man who spoke like a hick.

I am not here to debate if hes a racist or not but how if a republican said this without a doubt you'd be calling them a racist
Republicans have been called racist for doing less then what Reid did

Guess there is no democrats in the south.
You missed the whole historical aspect of the conversation about Dixiecrats and the Civil Rights Act, didn't you? And apparently you never learned anything about it. You just keep typing the same meaningless babble without knowing -- or, apparently, caring -- about any of the context of the comments you're responding to.
No context.
No factual knowledge.
Typical right winger.
My response to you was that the democratic party claims to be open and "racist free" but you can be a racist, make racist comments and the democrats don't care at all. But if you are a racist the republican party will not be tolerant of your displays of racism. Sen. Byrd could never be elected as a republican because of his racist past and his publicly racist comments. Its almost a requirement that a democratic politician bring their bigotry and racial baggage with them to Washington, and even use it to influence policy decisions and legislation.
Okay, I see.... So apparently then, you would understand that Reid isn't being given a pass because he's a Democrat, but because there is NOTHING in his past to suggest that he is a racist, right?
