Conservative blogger Dan Riehl:
Anyone watch the afro-mercial last night?
Yeah, really.
I’ve seen some folks on the left say that they hope to see Ashley Todd, the race-baiting fabulist volunteer for the McCain campaign, seek mental help. Excuse me? She knew what she was doing. She’s done what College Republicans have often done - like affirmative action bake sales - they provoke racial discord in order [...]
They strike again
The head of a New Mexico Republican women’s group is being pressured to resign after calling Barack Obama a “Muslim socialist” and claiming that “Muslims are our enemies.”

She included her criticism of Obama in a letter published Tuesday in the Alamogordo Daily [...]
The Republican party fully supports the Bull Connor/George Wallace agenda.
McCain supporters heckle early voters
Photographer Joe Eddins and I headed over to the closest one and found a steady line of voters hoping to cast ballots early. Most seemed to be Obama supporters and several had come from the rally. Nearly all the voters were black. [...]
It’s good for a wider audience to see the sort of bile Limbaugh produces on a daily basis.
Michelle Malkin draws parallels between seizure of property in Zimbabwe and Sen. Obama’s fiscal policy. Cause, you know, they’re all black and we blacks all share the same thought process.
Just got emailed this picture. Don’t know how real it is, but it’s plenty plausible in the current atmosphere.
Racist e-mails and hateful phone messages advance the prominence of haters in the Republican party.
I don’t know why McCain doesn’t just use the “n” word and cut through the clutter.
Ronald Reagan did it first
The term “welfare queen” is most often associated with Ronald Reagan who brought the idea to a national audience. During his 1976 presidential campaign, Reagan would tell the story of a woman from Chicago’s South Side [...]
This is your modern Republican party.
“I’m afraid if he wins, the blacks will take over. He’s not a Christian! This is a Christian nation! What is our country gonna end up like?”
“When you got a negro running for president, you need a first stringer. He’s definitely a second stringer.”

The reality begins to leak out, this time from a GOP club in California.
The latest newsletter by an Inland Republican women’s group depicts Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama surrounded by a watermelon, ribs and a bucket of fried chicken, prompting outrage in political circles.
The October newsletter by the Chaffey Community Republican Women, Federated says if [...]
Oh no, the facts!
As the economy worsens and Election Day approaches, a conservative campaign that blames the global financial crisis on a government push to make housing more affordable to lower-class Americans has taken off on talk radio and e-mail.
Commentators say that’s what triggered the stock market meltdown and the freeze on credit. They’ve specifically [...]
McCain likes to festoon himself with these guys named Keating, doesn’t he?
Appearing on Dennis Miller’s radio show, Keating charged that the Democratic nominee was covering up his ‘very extreme’ record, and urged Obama to be more honest with Americans. ‘He ought to admit,’ Keating said, ”You know, I’ve got to be honest with you. I [...]
Well golly gee gosh heck darn.
Angered by a delay in the receipt of his voter registration card, a Louisiana man today threatened to shoot election officials, claiming that he urgently needed to cast a ballot to “keep the nigger out of office,” according to police. Wade Williams, 75, was arrested this morning on a felony [...]
John McCain’s campaign is just George Wallace in this century.
McCain campaign rep in Virginia goes there.
In ‘humor’ he accuses Obama of wanting to paint the White House black, supporting reparations, changing the national anthem to the ‘black national anthem’, teaching ‘black liberation theology in all churches’, and replacing the flag with a ’star and crescent logo’.
ALSO: MaverickTM’s brother called Arlington and Alexandria “communist country”.
These are the people we’re fighting against.
Another Republican tells us how he really feels.
Embattled Bernalillo County Republican Party Chairman Fernando C. de Baca has officially resigned.
The state Republican Party officially reported the resignation in a news release just after 3 p.m. Thursday.
Last weekend, C. de Baca was quoted in a BBC News blog as saying, “The truth is that Hispanics came [...]
Can’t help themselves.
A conservative political forum on Saturday sold boxes of waffle mix depicting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama as a racial stereotype on its front and wearing Arab-like headdress on its top flap.
The product, Obama Waffles, was meant as political satire, said Mark Whitlock and Bob DeMoss, two writers from Franklin, Tenn., who created [...]
Of course, we know the problem is that Adam LaDuca got caught in public. Behind closed doors this is what they say.
The leader of a statewide group of college Republicans has been forced to resign after posting racially insensitive comments about Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama on the Internet.
Adam LaDuca, 21, the former executive director [...]
I’m not going to link to it here, but Google, my email, and some comments show me a lot of people are talking about it. The story rings false to me, and is just the sort of thing like the phony “whitey” video tape story that Larry Johnson was peddling that would be whipped up [...]
You know they couldn’t contain themselves for very long. This whole attack on Obama from the GOP is that a black guy just doesn’t know his place. I mean, what does he think he’s doing, running for President?
Georgia Republican Rep. Lynn Westmoreland used the racially-tinged term ‘uppity’ to describe Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama Thursday.
Westmoreland [...]
So, not only is the “Center for Immigration Studies” a racist white power group, they’re also refreshingly stupid.
Flashback, John McCain of 2000:
On his campaign bus recently, Sen. John McCain told reporters, “I hated the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live.” Although McCain said he was referring only to his prison guards, there are many reasons why his use of the word “gook” is offensive and alarming.
It is [...]
Our government - state, local, federal - should not honor racist a-holes.
L.F. Eason III gave up the only job he’d ever had rather than lower a flag to honor former U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms.
Eason, a 29-year veteran of the state Department of Agriculture, instructed his staff at a small Raleigh lab not to fly the [...]
There’s an amazing whitewash of his record in the official obits making the rounds.
Like a crack addict, Grover Norquist is one of the figures on the right with power who can’t help themselves.
“Norquist dropped by The Times’ Washington bureau today and, as part of his negative critique of Obama’s liberal stances on economic issues and other matters, he termed the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee ‘John Kerry with a [...]
They’ll have to change the name of the White House if Obama wins. Christ.
The weasel words you would expect from the GOP’s cable network.
“A producer on the program exercised poor judgment in using this chyron during the segment,” Fox’s Senior Vice President of Programming Bill Shine said in a statement to Politico.
I mean, it ain’t like this is a pattern.
No matter what he says.
Newsbusters’ Noel Sheppard: “Republicans face more scrutiny on race than Democrats.”
Me: “Yes!”
In the language of law enforcement, you round up the usual suspects.
Typically, Glenn Reynolds has been pushing this SF Chronicle story on black bloggers. Of course, the story doesn’t pass the smell test.
That coverage gap is partly what inspired Gina McCauley to help organize the first Blogging While Brown conference this summer in Atlanta. The most popular online community conferences - like the Netroots Nation confab [...]
If you would like to speak via email with someone who calls people n*****, you should feel free to email Qxh7@aol.com or hit him up on AIM at Qxh7.
That is all!
They hauled out black coservative Niger Innis from Congress of Racial Equality to try and ease Dog The Bounty Hunter back on to tv after he got caught using n****er.
Weird.
Innis was a campaign chair for Alan Keyes though, so I clearly trust his judgement.
Some conservative out of the blue starts IMing me today, arguing with me about immigration and affirmative action. He argues with me that white people are downtrodden and discriminated against and that it’s right for conservatives are right to be anti-immigration in order to preserve white majority.
Then he starts telling me that its scientifically proven [...]
Do not be soft on the Klan then take umbrage when someone points that out in an election year.
More connections emerge. By some politician’s description these guys are the real hardworking Americans.
The last throes are pretty messy.
Hillary Rodham Clinton vowed Wednesday to continue her quest for the Democratic nomination, arguing she would be the stronger nominee because she appeals to a wider coalition of voters — including whites who have not supported Barack Obama in recent contests.
“I have a much broader base to build a winning [...]
That’s the latest - and probably last - b.s. excuse from Team Clinton on why they didn’t really lose the nomination. As I discussed with a friend last night, the Clinton campaign decided that in order to win they would throw the black vote aside and drive up their vote among white voters. What they [...]
Sigh.
A statue honoring “Pitchfork Ben” Tillman, one of America’s foremost white supremacists, will stay on the South Carolina State House grounds — at least for now.
The decision was made by Republican state Rep. Greg Delleney, who Thursday morning killed a resolution that would have removed the statue from its prominent spot at the State House [...]
Jon complains that liberals see the hint of racial attacks in conservative actions. The problem is that the right has a history of racially based campaigning for over 100 years up until now. They’ve given no indication they have any desire to stop or slow down the process. They, in fact, rely upon it to [...]
Or, the Republican battle plan for this fall versus Barack Obama. You knew it was going to go this way. They can’t help themselves.
I’m glad we have experts like Bill Kristol to tell us this stuff or else we would never know.
I’m curious: If Captain Milquetoast, lower-middle class get-along colorblind guys like me (remember, my life experience is largely the mean streets of suburban Florida and Maryland) react so poorly to this conservative swill, how do they think [...]
From Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s blog on the LATimes.com:
One of the common myths about me was repeated last week when a friend of mine was playing in his weekly basketball league and a teammate asked him, “Why was Kareem always so angry?” That’s not the first time I heard this charge. What’s weird about it is that [...]
My high school would be worthy of concern under the Derbyshire rule.
