Hurricane Ida Targets US Gulf Coast
A candidate says blacks can’t swim. You know its a Republican.
(a looong time before I became the chunky boy that I am now, I swam competitively for my school in Jamaica, so this is doubly funny to me)
UPDATE: Hello FDL readers. I don’t only write about Republican racists, although I admit I never lack for material in that dept. More here.

Thank god that Democrats pushed out Southern racist conservatives in 1964. Otherwise we’d still have these idiots voting and running in our primaries.
I thought the Democrats WHERE the Southern racist conservatives in 1964. (See Dixie Democrats)
As far as the idiot in the clip goes… I tend to believe he is more “dumb” than “racist”.
Maybe in his little corner of the world back in the deep south of the 60’s he really did believe that most blacks were not good swimmers… but you would think his world view would have matured by now.
Like I said… IMO he is more dumb than racist, but we have plenty of dumb in politics already so I hope that WAS the sound of his campaign going down the toilet… and Yes, I am a Republican.
Hence the need to push the racist conservatives out of the Democratic party into the GOP’s burgeoning Southern constituency, John. (see History) Also, quick question, for which party’s Alabama gubernatorial nomination was George Wallace, Jr. running this year?
The Dixiecrats weren’t Democrats anymore, dumbass, they formed their own party because the Democrats didn’t want them. So they went off and supported Storm Thurmond, that well-known Dem. That being Anatole’s point and all.
I was in your lovely home country back in June, down in Bluefield bay. “The Whitey Quadrant” I believe. Everyone was great, it was an awesome and relaxing time.
It was hard to ignore the widespread poverty, but nobody seemed to be bothered, so I wasn’t. They have a different value system there, based on the quality of life and family, not how much money you make.
Sort of like paradise…
A racist is a racist, regardless of color or party. Whether your talking about George Wallace Jr or Cynthia McKinney, they ALL need to be voted out of office…
One down… hopefully Wallace is next.
I just hate when people lump ME in with racist because I choose to be a Republican.
And I hate when some people call Black politicians Uncle Tom’s etc just because They choose to be Republicans.
It is very ugly and I think most people see it for what it is… Intolerant and Un-American.
You have a point, but I am reminded of the August Pollak cartoon showing a Log Cabin Republican saying “I’m sure the part of the platform about hating me specifically is just a typo.”
“I tend to believe he is more “dumb” than “racist”.”
Well, turns out you were right on the money.

DUMBASS??
Nimrod Gently, is this how you debate with your fellow citizens?
I can’t wait to hear your next post on tolerance and civility.
I sometimes forget we’re a lot less sensitive here. Sorry.
Why on earth would he even make a remark like that? On camera, no less.
What possible connection could there be between what he plans to do as a Congressman and the swimming abilities of black people?
Some people just can’t help themselves.
DUUUUGGGGGGGERRRRR!!!!! RED ALERT! RED ALERT!
“34% of Republican voters believe that Bush has definitely or probably not told the truth about the situation in Iraq.”

Where are you!!! The GOP needs to know that no lies told by human beings are conceivably provable. WHERE ARE YOU!!!
AutoDugger Message #43: “Not telling the truth is a completely different thing than telling a lie.”
And if anyone would know about racism, it’s the good folks in blackface at firedoglake.
SaveFarris,
Let me guess: Satire is not your strong suit, right? And irony isn’t either.
Satires on sa car.
Irony when my shirts is wrinkled.
And now you can’t jump. How ironic.

Name 3 Dems (besides the creators), that have outright supported that. Note that each time you pull something out of your ass, you will have to name an extra one.
