One person who (probably) supports Romney makes a racist joke ---> Romney is waging a racist war of racism.
Cool logic bro. Tell it again.
Logic?! Yeah what about all the other people that laughed and went right along with the joke? What does your logic say about that? And if someone can say this on a microphone to a crowd of people what is said in private? What does your "logic" say about that?
Well, it was still kind of funny. Kind of racist yeah, but more of an nervous chuckle-type than gasp and head for the hills.
Anyways, that's ridiculous. Much worse things have been said about Republicans (jokingly) at Democrat rallies. This is a schoolboy argument at best.
But I guess the conclusion we should be drawing is that if a campaign that doesn't have poll-tested goodies specifically designed for every single narrow ethnic group, it is predicated on racism.
The foundation of Romney's appeal to whites is predominantly a mixture of the poor economic climate and ideological hostility toward Obama (from right-wingers to left-wingers). It's amazing how Democrats don't even know what the talking points of the other side are, but I suppose it's not unsurprising.
Some 60-70 year old woman from Arkansas tells an odd racist-ish "joke" and accordingly is forced to resign from a tea party organization. Imagine if democrats held their members to that standard, their wouldn't be anybody left in the party.
Note: Republicans ended slavery and defeated communism(a form of slavery). Democrats in full or in part supported both.
Wow, the GOP must have really gone downhill if its members are resting on its laurels from 150 years ago.
And nice try at the symbolic communism analogy. It didn't work.
You really think that those Republicans from the 1860s would be Republicans today? If the black community had any more goodwill left for their efforts from the 19th century, your guy wouldn't be pulling zero support from them.
