You can find thousands of racist 'conservative' posts on this site alone. Not that you'll see any of it on fox news.

Or anywhere for that matter. I mean... it's not news that white conservatives are overwhelmingly racist.
Yep!

Breaking News! "Poster asks right-winger why they would vote for Rand Paul!"

Story at 10 on Fox News.

As should women only restrooms. I want people to understand the philosophy behind it. What you are arguing is a majority of the population should be able to enforce their values on others. Technically that means laws enforcing segregation could come back. I do not wish to grant government that power.

This is the caliber of information one would expect from catty middle-schoolers.

(I took it to the next level of thought for ya.)
lol But it wasn't one person.
I agree. Those that criticized her are catty middle schoolers.
She is being targeted by the left based on skin color.

Dumb people who are from the left to be exact. This isn't an isolated incident either.

You're asking do I criticize those on the right? You're kidding me right?

Stuck on the plantation? Really? How many of those posts like that are there? Don't you mean when the loony left says the repubs want to go back to the 1800's?
Look at my posts. I've called out those on the right when they are wrong. I'd like to see some of your posts calling out Obama. Are there any? I'll be waiting.

In the video it was mentioned this was the first time in social media but people on campus said "You're black, why are you conservative?" She's not the first one to be stereotyped and won't be the last.
The reporter mentioned one post and asked her opinion on it. She had a beautiful answer.
The question to you is the same one I all to often ask, why are you not focusing on the actual issue?

American Liberalism is, at its core, an ideology of hate and bigotry. Liberals spend so much time patting themselves on the back telling OTHERS to shape up, that they don't see their own racism.
Are you ****ing kidding me?? He's acting like it's offensive that anybody would say black people shouldn't support Rand Paul but conservatives are always saying that blacks shouldn't support Democrats. Tucker Carlson needs to get off his high horse and take care of his own side

But it's perfectly ok to call a black person "brainwashed" or "just voting for the black guy simply because they're a liberal who supports the Democrat

I am seriously in awe of how low Fox News has sunk.

I guess the newscaster making ridiculous comments about liberals stoning people to death is perfectly fine, though.

But I can understand why people were angry at her, considering Paul's opposition to affirmative action.
Damn, I had to go back and look and you're right. It was only one post

no its not, but as I said, it happens far more from the right and these threads remain silent.

not at all. Im simply talking about this specific rhetoric.

there are plenty of post like that. And yet the vast majority of those right of center on this forum have no problem with that language.

Heck look at the very interviewer in the video. He said the same thing about the Left as the tweet said about the right. And yet he and the young lady views what he said as ok simply because they each believe him to be right.

Did President Obama use this same rhetoric, if so, quote him.
