About those racist Republicans . . .
In his must-read column on the rise of black Republicans, Jack Kelly notes something interesting:
Of the 39 black Democrats in the House, all but two represent districts where blacks are a majority or plurality. One other black Democratic contender is running in a white majority district. So in this election, Republicans are running more blacks in white majority districts than the Democrats are. Shouldn’t that be taken into consideration when accusations of racism are being hurled about?
The three candidates with the greatest shot at winning seats in Congress, Tim Scott, Allen West or Ryan Frazier, all hail from districts with white majorities, with Frazier running in a district where Hispanics alone outnumber blacks by a margin of 4 to 1.

Proud, so nice of you to chime in with such a thoughtful rejoinder to my post. I do appreciate your genuine concern with civil discourse.

Ooops! My stupid fault.
Proud Liberal, you don’t have to go after the darkies yourself. You can send a house “n” word to do your dirty work. Wink, wink, nudge. You boys have a long history of handling uppity types.

Meanwhile, one of the many, many lily-white hosts on MSDNC makes a racist crack about Michael Steele, or, at least, what *would be* a racist crack if Rush Limbaugh had something similar such as, “Obama just dances to the tune of his white masters.”

Is there any point to Kicked Puppy? He/she/it ‘s a drive-by agitator definitely lacking any balls to even try to back up his ASSertions.
If anybody should be banned, it should be bandwidth thieves like that and not oxygen thieves like Little Bitch of a few weeks ago. Although, Little Bitch was just repeating the same BS over and over.

I would love to confess that I secretly author Delusional Liberal, as a kind of performance art. I could not produce a cruder, more entertaining caricature of left-wing dementia. Alas, such a confession is not mine to make; at least not honestly.

Proud Liberal reminds me of Maude from All in the Family & the Maude television show. PL is entertaining since he’s unaware he’s a caricature, a parody made real.

She reinforces our sense of righteous intellectual superiority?

It is instructive to see what differentiates a mere liberal from a PROUD liberal. Front row at the guillotine and all that.

I’m in Colorado and must say that Ryan Frazier is full of potential. He is really a great person, well spoken and has a wonderful family. I think he has a very good chance of winning and a bright future!

Here’s a good question:
How did the many white people, who’s votes were vital to the success of the Obama victory in 2008, become so racist in such a short period of time?

The next challenge for the GOP, then, is to borrow a cue from this group of standard-bearers – to campaign tenaciously for BoringWhiteChrisitian(andJewish)Men(and Women) Republican candidates in predominantly black and other ethnic communities.
Comment by Gay is NOT the new Black — October 7, 2010 @ 8:37 am - October 7, 2010
Gay is NOT the new Black (#17) makes the age old point of how Republicans should go about gaining a foothold among the pandered class. It is a near impossible challenge to turn a group that is 90% aligned with the other side. You can’t out lie or out pander the Democrats. You can’t change the narrative and make the Democrats the villains. About all you can do is peel a layer off the onion and show the rest of the onion how getting off the plantation works.
The problem is, too many sad souls are satisfied stewing in the own juices and waiting for their government check. The Democrats have created a view of a failing and corrupt America and sold it to the people who cherish their jaundiced outlook which is steeped in their own concoction of anger and misery served up with sour grapes.
There is no sadder person than a liberal. They live for utopia and hate everything about today.
