The word PC has just become a right wing excuse for bigotry and racism.

So these tea Party Conservatives whom virtually every conservative claims dosen't have a racist bone in their body sees nothing out of order with this??

Republicans want minorities to support them at the polls yet we are suppose to endure these attitudes and slights.

Sorry but I'll never support people who think like this, we are not monkeys or dogs and we do happen to know what's in our best intersts!!
Is this supposed to be new, here in Arizona the National Socialist Movement is pulling the strings of RepubliCorp. If you aren't ARAYAN you have no place in their """Real Amerika"""

The individual in question repeated a message and we are supposed to be outraged, (and since I cant see the message I cant determine if it was an insult, or humorous) but you repeated it and we arent supposed to have problems with that?

The comparison between dogs, if said should of course come under fire. Lacking a father figure though is a factual statement and should be acknowledged and discussed as such.. It should lead to an intellectual discussion not some viscous hateful attack.

Where is it shown that tea party conservatives see nothing wrong with this? Typical left wing, repeat something, then lie about others standing on what is said, then criticize them for not believing what you lied about to begin with..

Who is suggesting blacks should endure these attitudes, and how is this any different than the racist comments by the left against the right?

If you knew what was in your best interest, you would stop stop supporting programs that increase federal handouts, governmental welfare, would encourage individual responsibilities and such. Instead you continue to support the same political party responsible for increased poverty among the minorities, the destruction of neighborhoods where minorities are the majority, oppose the higher tax bracket for property taxes in these neighborhoods, stop opposing businesses to establish in those neighborhoods which provide jobs and such.

Instead you want to sit here and lump all "Republicans" in with the actions of one while opposing Republicans and moaning for doing exactly what you JUST did..

OWNED!

No matter if its racist or not he should know better than to forward or have any relation to that e-mail. Poor judgment used.

It could easily be a case of a non racist white guy who found the joke funny. Hell it is funny, not everything is freaking racism.

That said he should not have been associated with it.

That was true for many people who voted for him. I doubt that many black people voted for mcCain in 2008. Do you disagree?
