And you have the nerve to ask me if I comprehend what I write.. and then you key something that dumb..
Nice try amateur.

You do understand the concept of self interest, don't you?


It's clear to any who read what you write, your comprehension of complex topics is severely lacking.

I hardly ever hear anyone from the GOP, say something like, a couple of my GOP leaning friends have said (when I point out racism in the GOP) "Well, we just need to stand up and tell people like that, that they are unwelcome in the party".
Way too often though, the GOP either is silent when someone in their party says something racially stupid or when there's a potential hate crime, like Zimmerman, are so quick to defend the one who may have acted in a racially biased matter.
Having Bill O'Reilly, as a prominent figure in the conservative movement, with some of the nasty stuff he has said (the White Christian way of life is threatened), come on, ask him to leave or tell him to shut up, instead of having the "left" do it.
So, GOP, do that instead, ask that instead! As long as you keep on welcoming the Steve King like folks in the party, you won't gain enough of the "brown" or LGBT vote to win elections, in spite of your 3 percents, like Cain (he had no chance in hell of winning the GOP nomination, come on, the South would have never allowed that), Rice or Jihndal.
In all seriousness though, if Colin Powell ran in 2000 and got the nomination, even if he lost, we might not be having this discussion. However, he may have had enough support, from Independents or Democrats, to counter the Steve King or Bubba white men racists, who would never vote for a black man, no matter what.
When one reads this is evident like always that some see anyone not in agreemt with their views as racist.Ist racist in itself and to suggest that you run someone because os their race is the ultimate race card.

What part of self interest, is the support of poverty?

Thats what YOU said.. standing there and acting like you're 10, doesnt mean you didnt say it.

Grow up..

Racism isn't defined as someone not agreeing with your views.

Do you understand what racism is?

I'm sorry,

I don't understand. Can't you write this again using clear sentences? What you wrote makes no sense.

Thank you.

Your opening sentence and premise is wrong. I'd suggest to go back and fix that, then go from there to fix the rest of your OP.

Limbaugh is not a racist. I'm anti-racism, and have been listening to Limbaugh for 25 years, and if he were a racist, I think I'd know it by now. His primary associate in producing his show is James Golden, a black man. One of his regular fill in hosts is economist Walter E Williams, also black. His often-cited intellectual god is economist Thomas Sowell (who has also appeared on the show many times), also black. What kind of racist white supremacist does this?

There was a list of 'top ten racist quotes from Limbaugh' several years back. Several of them were flat made up, several others were not racist except if deliberately misinterpreted/taken out of context. One of the quotes was real and arguably offensive. It was a remark from the 1970's when Limbaugh was working as rock DJ 'Jeff Christie' in Pittsburgh. So it was 40 years ago, and Limbaugh did express regret for having said it.

False acccusations of racism are in themselves a racist tactic, because they divide and create hostility. Why don't you fix your own racism before you set about to advise the GOP on the topic?

Even if that's true about Limbaugh, I doubt it, but even if so, that still doesn't discount people in your party like O'Reilly and Steve King.

The GOP is what it is. Why don't minorities join the GOP? That's the real question. Maybe because of the lies the left spews forth about how we're all a bunch of hick racists?

....says the poster that spews forth racial garbage (see above).
Minorities too often hold the minimum wage jobs and the GOP believes the minimum wage is too much.Why would the minorities support that party? If the GOP stops demonizing the working class be they union workers or dishwashers,they might enlarge their base.No leftist lies were spewed writing this post.

We know the gop love to use puppets, its what you think of the minority as a whole.

Take a look at this, btw i dont listen or think much of limbaugh, this was the first time i took a look at him. And this is what he had to say and made me think there could be a grain of truth in him being a racist. Remember, its what you think of the minority not the fact you surround yourself with a few of them.
