At least Joe's being honest.

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

I knew that was Romney's problem -- more tan than white.

[Sopranos Republican]

What supreme intellect, let us utilize him in our campaign!

[memphis]

I wonder how making >$250k/year is working out for him. The new tax bracket must be crimping his style.

[Beezer]

You gotta love how delusional some of the far-right activists are when they keep on telling themselves that there's nothing racist about their ideology. I mean there is plenty of data out there which proves how Tea Partiers have far higher levels of racial resentment than other groups, even other conservative Republicans.

Aaaand Joe the Plumber continues to be an embarrassment to Toledo and surrounding suburbs. I wonder if he will ever actually do anything to improve the dilapidated mess he lived near when he became quasi-famous besides try and ride his "fame" into national office. Nah, well, I would imagine he believes he became a faucet and not a drain from his own hard work and not through sheer luck. And now people are still posting threads and paying attention to his faps? Let the man jerk off in peace! "Crazy idiot agrees with crazy idiotic article" is not news.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Wow what an incredibly racist remark

[pbrower2a]

What a vile person is this "Joe the Plumber"! Here is an example:

Maybe Republicans need to know why they are losing the votes of many who fit the demographics of those who "liked Ike".  Heck, in 2008 Barack Obama won only one state that Eisenhower ever lost -- and in 2012 he won only states that Eisenhower won twice.

I thought his fifteen minutes were up a long time ago...

Can we have a "Crazy People" omnibus thread for all this stuff?

[Torie]

Hey Joe, if I were elected POTUS, would I be equally "immune" from criticism because to do so would be homophobic?  I haven't noticed folks being shy about criticizing Obama by the way (heck even his own party members dump on him from time to time). I guess they don't mind being called racists when they do so or something.

That actually wouldn't be a bad idea.

The idea usually is that criticism of Obama is only racist when it comes from the right-wing of the Republican party.   Tea Partiers quite understandably get tired of the accusation, and so may express their frustration in unhelpful ways.

The right-wing of the Republican Party has demonstrated racist-baiting (and at times, outright racist) tendencies on multiple occasions (see Ronald Reagan's "There's a welfare queen on the South Side of Chicago..." speech, or his "States rights" speech in Philadelphia, MS-the town in which not twenty years prior, the Klan murdered three Freedom Riders from the North-and this is just the Republican right-wing's Patron Saint we're talking about!).

I have seen and heard far too many Republicans espouse talking points that are laden with racist undertones to dismiss it as "a few bad apples." And the policies that Republicans support are not exactly endearing to minorities (who, for one thing, are disproportionately represented among the poor or the unemployed-good luck on courting their votes! ) Therefore, a lot of us think that the Tea Party et al doth protest too much

[Ogre Mage]

No doubt Joe doesn't care how this sounds to minority voters such as myself or comprehend why his party does so poorly with Black, Asian and Latino voters.  And what will Joe do if Hillary wins in 2016?  I can see the post now --  "America needs a male Republican President."

The level of vitriol directed at this president is unprecedented. Conservatives didn't like Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton either, but nothing approached this level of hatred. If you think race has nothing to do with it, you're naive.

[DrScholl]

America needs to issue right-wingers a land grant in the desert, let them move there and allow them to run their own crazy, racist government how they want. Let them leave the rest of the country alone.

[Stranger in a strange land]

Teabaggers: When people call you racist, it's not because you disagree with the president. It's because you're actually being racist.

[Eraserhead]

Has the good Rev. Cain responded to this yet?

Meanwhile, teabaggers have descended on to Washington DC today to wave the Confederate flag in front of the home of a black family and damage federal property (in protest of their own party shutting down a memorial to United States veterans). It's like the 1960s all over again.
