The gift, it keeps on giving.
MARTIN: But your candidates got to talk to them. One of the criticisms I’ve always had is Republicans — white Republicans — have been scared of black folks.
STEELE: You’re absolutely right. I mean I’ve been in the room and they’ve been scared of me. I’m like, ‘I’m on your side’ [...]

President Obama is overwhelmingly popular in every region of the country except for the south. I am surely this is all entirely due to his economic policies and his radical social agenda and not any other thing at all, certainly not the color of his skin no way sir.
CNN Tries To Woo Latinos, Has Anti-Latino Racist Lou Dobbs Hosting Show
October 24th, 2009

Thankfully latinos are not being fooled about CNN’s relationship with Lou Dobbs:
The hypocrisy, critics say, lies in CNN’s decision to woo Hispanic viewers with a prime-time documentary while still giving Mr. Dobbs a nightly forum. Roberto Lovato, a founding member of Presente.org, a Latino advocacy group, said in a statement, “We won’t allow the network [...]
BNP’s Nick Griffin Shows Best Disinfectant For Hate Is Sunshine

As previously noted, Nick Griffin of the racist BNP appeared on BBC’s Question Time. As almost always with filthy racist thugs, it did not go well:
The smirking extremist was exposed as a political lightweight by members of the panel and an angry audience who booed and jeered him as he took his seat.
One black [...]
BBC’s BNP Dilemma
October 22nd, 2009
35 Comments
So this is an interesting thing. The BNP – British National Party – is a racist, anti-immigration whites-only political party. They’re on the fringe of British politics, but they recently won seats in the European parliament. So the BBC is having the leader of the BNP on for the “Question Time” political program. People are [...]

Charles Johnson (!)
Robert Stacy McCain writes for VDARE and Takimag, two disgusting, openly racist websites. And he’s a friend of Richard Spencer, a self-avowed white nationalist. McCain is a member of the white supremacist group League of the South, and he’s associated with the deeply racist American Renaissance.
At the link McCain also defends the confederacy [...]
Pat Buchanan’s White Pride Brought To You By NBC News
September 11th, 2009
78 Comments
Pat Buchanan, when he’s not pissed of that latina women are nominated to the supreme court or pushing pro-Hitler revisionist history, is writing columns lamenting the fact that people aren’t cheering confederate generals and instead praising people like Martin Luther King.
The Nixon administration is long over but Pat Buchanan is still an effing racist.

Racism On Display In Anti-Health Care Rallies
August 4th, 2009
110 Comments
When President Obama came to Raleigh to talk health care, the conservatives were ready with their signs, and being conservatives what’s a protest sign without a little racism?
As I’ve noted, conservatives often can’t help themselves from indulging in racism, and Republicans still – inexplicably – see that as a winning political strategy of some sort.
And Some Times Powerline Should Shut Up
July 30th, 2009

Powerline adds their stupid right-wing opinion to the growing mass of wrong-headed right-wing opinion piled up around the Henry Gates arrest:
This suggests to me that, as far as African-Americans are concerned, ‘race politics’ will continue unabated, as if Obama had never been elected president.
This suggests to me that right-wingers insist on pretending as if racism [...]

A national leader of the Tea Party movement has pledged to support fellow teabagger David McKalip, the guy who sent around the email of President Obama with a bone sticking through his nose.
Just in case you were wondering if these people still weren’t on the fringes of American society (but in the base of conservatism).

I also know that there have been incidents of false reports of racism by police officers — the Tawana Brawley case, for one.
And you know what? Every time a case comes up involving racism and police, we hear about Tawana freaking Brawley from 22 years ago. Yes, she lied. Yes, Al Sharpton [...]

A few weeks ago I noted this picture circulating in conservative circles (though some of our right-leaning commenters said otherwise), and now here it is in the wild with David McKalip, a Tea Party guy and a conservative doctor opposed to health care reform.
This is who we’re fighting against.

You know, I hate writing about racial issues. I’d much rather be talking about almost anything else relating to politics, but so often instead of discussing policy differences and differing belief systems, Republican and conservatives jump to race. And while for the nation I think things have gotten significantly better (Cambridge PD notwithstanding), since President [...]
