GOP Bigot Eruption News

Rep. Lynn Jenkins & The White Power Republicans

1:25 am EST August 27th, 2009 | Republicans | 66 Comments

Sometimes, the mask slips.

U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins offered encouragement to conservatives at a town hall forum that the Republican Party would embrace a “great white hope” capable of thwarting the political agenda endorsed by Democrats who control Congress and President Barack Obama.

Jenkins, a Topeka Republican in her first term in Congress, shared thoughts about the GOP’s political future during an Aug. 19 forum at Fisher Community Center in the northeast Kansas community of Hiawatha.

In response to inquiries by The Topeka Capital-Journal, a Jenkins spokeswoman said Wednesday the congresswoman wanted to apologize for her word choice and to emphasize she had no intention of expressing herself in an offensive manner.

Translation? “Sorry I got caught, next time I’m a racist I’ll make sure there aren’t any reporters around.”

Conservative + South =

You bet, more racism about President Obama. This time from an aide to Tennessee State Sen. Diane Black. Republican of course.

This is not to be confused with the guy from a couple days ago who compared Michelle Obama to a gorilla. Or the conservative mayor who sent around a picture of the White House and watermelons. Or the guy who sold t-shirts comparing Barack Obama to a monkey.*

Those were all separate incidents, and if one were to point out that the right has apparently ramped up its reflexive racism in the wake of President Obama’s election… well that would just be mean.

* UPDATE: Also that guy who made a racist remark on Twitter. But not a part. No sireee. Not at all. Look over there, a pony. A BLACK pony.

GOP Bigot Eruption: Betty Brown Of Texas

Sigh.

A North Texas legislator during House testimony on voter identification legislation said Asian-descent voters should adopt names that are “easier for Americans to deal with.”

The comments caused the Texas Democratic Party on Wednesday to demand an apology from state Rep. Betty Brown, R-Terrell. But a spokesman for Brown said her comments were only an attempt to overcome problems with identifying Asian names for voting purposes.

The Next Right = The Same Right

4:02 pm EST December 27th, 2008 | Republicans | 30 Comments

As Vice President-elect Joe Biden noted during the 2008 convention, the GOP continues to offer more of the same.

Chip Saltsman, a candidate for chairman of the Republican National Committee, sent committee members this month a holiday music CD that included “Barack the Magic Negro,” a parody song first aired in 2007 by talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

Until the Republican party kicks the racial habit, they’ll continue to be a minority monochromatic party from the south.
