You know Dewmik I would take your advice but as someone who happens to be a "minority" in this country but don't look like one or talk like one I have seen what "conservatives" talk about behind closed quarters in regards to race and other minorties.
Sorry but the GOP has a very racist slant to it anyway you slice it and it shows in their membership & political positions.
By the way a "Democrat" in Georgia is a Oxymoron! That state still has issues with race. Luckily I get to see all this unfold and the amount of prejudice that still exists in the GOP.
You're right, and many of us are disgusted by what we see...and hear. The GOP has never had a problem playing the race card...there's a whole suit of them in the GOP deck. They even played it against McCain in S.C. when he was running against Bush. The GOP roster lacks a viable choice in 2012, and have shocked many with their outrageous behavior. IMHO, the bottom line is that people don't want to regress...at least not the normal ones.
One would normally think a former GOP state party chairman under indictment for fraud would not be regarded by anyone on the left (or anyone else for that matter) as a credible source of opinion or information -- unless of course the opinion being offered confirms their biases, in which case the opinions of right-wing frauds are perfectly credible and valid.
Blowing the whistle on these people and apologizing for his own idiot actions last year was party-neutral. So what if he was under indictment for fraud? That was probably his tipping point into finally acting like a normal human being.
'bout time somebody from the right is being a straight shooter...
Here is another quote from the article.
Greer, now under indictment on fraud and money-laundering charges after being drummed out of the state party, also accused "many within the GOP" of having "racist views."

^ Yes hes creditable and couldnt be bitter at all
No doubt there is racist in the republican party as there is in the democrat party and every group
Shhh some wants to keep pretending there is only racist in the republican party. Dont want to bust their bubble that their is racist in their party also
Uhuh, but you are ignoring the fact that this is a member of the Republican party that is spewing this rhetoric. Not some limousine liberal living in a gated community.
Blaming the Democratic Party for the misery so many minorities find themselves in is also getting old. Last time I checked the richest black county, and the city with the most educated black populace were located in blue areas. BTW, how are those blacks in the rural south holding out?
I thought that Georgia had the most educated and successful black populace.
This man is only pointing out the obvious. He has had a serious reality check. If his statement was based solely on ulterior motives, he could've left race out of this and simply apologized for his statement, but he didn't because he is being truthful. I don't believe that all Conservatives are racist but the ones who sit back and let the bigots speak for the party are just as guilty as the bigots. Any time some one calls them on it, they accuse that person of playing the race card, time and time again. It seems that they believe that they are outsmarting people when they accuse them of playing the race card as if that gives their racism a pass. It may work among you but those of us who are not racist can see through that. Starting with the last presidential campaign, Conservatives' strongest tactic has been to scare racist White people into believing that Blacks and Muslims are trying to take over the country. Terms like Socialist, Marxist and Liberal propaganda are used as code. Every time people utter these terms (Beck, Limbaugh, Pailin), my intelligence is insulted. It is truly sad that so many people fall into this and run with this lynch mob, but I guess in order for your intelligence to be insulted, you have to have some.
If we're talking about the "traditional" Republican (not tea party which is partly the KKK in drag IMO), I don't think that most Republicans are "racist", but I do think that there's a portion of them that want things "as they were in the good ole days." You know, the days that women stayed home and had the kids, didn't work, shut their mouths, and didn't vote, and when minorities stayed in the background and did their jobs and didn't cause a whole lot of ruckus. Basically, there are those that miss the days where one gender and one race held the majority of the money and wielded all the power. Falling into obscurity and becoming extinct as the dinosaur ain't so easy. That's why they're huffing and puffing as they're going down. The fact of the matter is that the color, ethnicity, religious preference, etc., is changing and that's not sitting too well with them.
Still, if he were questioned he'd be able to back up his statements and evidently he knows the difference between racist and non-racist. It doesn't matter who he sucks up to next; he told the truth about an ugly secret all those people pretended wasn't true and that took some stones.
First of all, he is actually pandering to the Democrats with his statements. You are evidence that the Democrats have swallowed this utterly transparent ruse hook, line, and sinker.
Secondly, Republicans treat blacks as equals, as in no special treatment and everyone is responsible for his or her actions regardless of race. This translates to the liberal mind as racism.
Thirdly, once a politician, always a politician. This guy is more than likely terrified that he will have to get a real job if he is not embraced by the other team.
This guy is playing the Democrats like a fiddle, do yourself and your party a favor and don't let it happen!
