I don't expect you to agree with anything I said except this, the GOP will continue to get accusations thrown their way. Its a tactic we like to use. We'll ride that sucker all the way to november. Win or lose we'll use it again in '16, '20 and beyond because its an effective tool

Conservative by their very nature are racist, so it is a perfectly natural reaction for people to automatically assume that everything being said by a conservative is racist or has some sort of a racist slant.
Calling people, “illegal’s” is perhaps the best example of widespread conservative racism today.

I'll try to explain it once more:

THe three examples of false accusations were demonstrably false. In fact in two of the cases, the lefty accusers themselves said that it was a deliberate strategy of false accusation. So no, there was no 'kernal of truth.' One reason I picked these three examples is that they were so clearcut. Now if that does not penetrate, I'm done. That's as far as I'm willing to dumb-down the explanation.

Why would I get 'worked up' to the point I 'have to create a thread?' Pretty simple--I don't like to see lies spread. And I enjoyed creating the thread. It's not something I 'had' to do. I enjoy the back and forth. I don't know why someone would even be posting here if they don't....

They know they are racist; they are just trying to convince themselves that they are not. Let’s not let them have that peace. [SIZE=3][/SIZE]

Your examples didn't prove anything. It's obvious that charges of racism are a sensitive subject for you. Just wondering why.

And thats all you have, the race card. Something you don't like, screech racism and then sit back and feel very smug with yourselves.

Pathetic.

Respect has to be earned.

And I guarantee politicians (especially on the national scale) are so narcissistic that it would never cross their minds that they might be in danger. So no, they aren't risking their precious lives to "serve the public." Politicians serve nobody but themselves.

so republicans have never hurled accusations ever in a presidential election? Every accusation has been 100% accurate and the truth?

Arrant nonsense.

Anyone from anywhere including Canada can be an illegal alien.

The left sees people belonging to a group, rather than seeing an individual.
