From your link: "Fifty-one percent of 400 Republican primary voters surveyed nationwide by Public Policy Polling said they ascribe to the controversial birther conspiracy theory..."
A poll of 400 primary voters is not the entire GOP.
I went back and re-read the posts and I still didn't see where anyone claimed that Republicans didn't make stupid statements. They argued that it seems like they are the only ones that get called out for them.
The title was "yet another racist democrat". I took that as "Another 'only Democrats are racist' kind of thing".
Which two sides would that be? I don't remember a bomb ripping through a white church and killing 4 white girls.
I don't remember bombs going off in white Alabama neighborhoods.
I don't remember any dogs or fire hoses being turned on white Alabamans.
Haven't seen any photos of whites being lynched in Alabama with a black mob standing beneath them.
Did some white pastor write a Letter From a Birmingham Jail or have a black nemesis named Bull Connor?
Haven't seen a photo of thousands of whites crossing the Pettus Bridge marching for their civil rights and hoping like hell that they'll finish the march alive and in one piece.
Both sides? Nah...I don't think so.
Racism is a belief. Those are actions leverged by the power of racist Whites.
I said racism is on both sides, I did not say that one side han't suffered immensely more from it than the other. Please don't assume that.
While I don't think the comment by Mr. Holmes was in any way appropriate or legitimate, it is nothing compared to the suffering of Blacks due to racist policies and beliefs in Alabama.
