Correction, 12:26 p.m. ET: An original version of this story said that Reince Priebus referred to Mitt Romney’s comments as “racist.” He said it “hurts us.” Business Insider regrets the error.

Well, I just checked, and apparently he really did say it. It’s all over the web and on Facebook, going viral now. Priebus just bought himself a world of butt-hurt.

At this point, I doubt there are any “true Republicans” that are also “high level”.

Reince Priebus is one of the reasons I will not support the GOP. Illustrates what the GOP is all about when they selected this empty suit to run the GOP.

Racist...over the word “self-deport”?

Priebus has added another to his list of really dumb comments.

There’s nothing racist about wanting an illegal immigrant to self-deport, any more than it’s “racist” to want a thief to return stolen property.

RNC chairman Reince Priebus swept in his party's presidential nominee, saying that talk of "self-deportation" was "horrific" and even "racist."

Racist? Really, against what particular ethnicity? Irish non-immigrant overstays, Canadians nationals working without authorisation, Saudi students not attending school? All are subject to deportation.

Now if we just reflexively think of all immigration violators as Mexicans, that would be what exactly......let me think...........I think I know because I had a dog named Bingo, its RACIST!!!!

I for one don’t believe that the GOP is the stupid party - they know exactly what they are doing and that’s being honest that they hate their base.

1. The majority of the GOP leadership leans towards big government in some fashion or form, it may not be in the same frame as what Pelosi or Dick Durbin desire for Big Government but its along the same fault lines

2. Most of the Republican consultants and advisers are liberals or lean that way. The elites like Karl Rove, has actually set up a PAC to attack the tea party in primaries and so forth.

3. Most of the big donors are socially liberal and love big government too because it means they get paid too.....ie cronyism

Take all of that together along with lobbyists and you got a party that despises its base.

Even Rush said some years ago how at these cocktail parties he was invited to that the Republican Party leaders and consultants there told him that they were embarrassed by the GOP base..ie...social conservatives and now he’s hearing the same thing about the Tea Party.

How many times has the Establishment gone to the national media to attack conservative or tea party people behind the scenes as “anonymous sources”

The point to all of this - is that they couldn’t care less with we leave the party. Yeah they may be a minority party because of this but in Washington DC there is no such thing as a true minority - they will still hold power in some form and they will still have the crony big donors so that in most elections they can spend tons of money to tear down the Tea Party/ Freedom Party candidates or whatever you call it - and win most of them. As long as the gravy train continues in their eyes then they are safe and they believe that they will finally be liked by the media in these interviews and cocktail parties

It is this sort of insanity among those who advise Republican candidates, that is responsible for the decline of the Republican Party. If this fawning jerk is followed, the Party will have "No sense, no guts, no future.'

What possible objection can any rational person have to the idea of those here illegally, voluntarily leaving? What?

Are ethnic Americans supposed to apologize for wanting to protect their borders? This is not about being anti- any Latino nation or people. We have limited space, limited resources. We want to preserve what is ours for our own. Calling us names comes with very poor grace from a political adviser who seeks popular support.

Oh, I have encountered the likes of this fawning individual many times. He has either bought or been intimidated into accepting the Leftist frenzy to remake America in the rest of the world's image. He probably is too stupid to realize that he is buying into an effort to promote world government--too caught up in the popular slogans in Academia, to understand just what he has apparently bought into.

Again, this is not about whether you like the peoples of Latin America. We have no reason not to like the peoples of Latin America. That is no reason to convert America into their culture--none whatsoever.

For a better understanding of why the Left is so emotional on this sort of tangent--so impressive to shallow organizational Republicans who have lost the ability to reason--see Compassion Or Compulsion?

Let Mr. Priebus decide which heritage he wants to embrace. Thomas Jefferson explained that he bought Louisiana to establish a buffer for the young American Federation of States & the Hispanic States to the South. Jefferson had no hostility to any people; but he understood, as any one with common sense understands, we are not all cut from the same cloth as it were. Any nation's culture reflects its people. You change the population, you change the culture.

Conservatives refuse to do the work to change the RNC committeemen. We put a Michigan tea partier on the RNC but from what I’m seeing no one else has even bothered to change the policy making structure.

If conservatives can’t get 1000 or so people to a state convention to vote on committeemen, they aren’t going to have what it takes to start a 3rd party.

“Reince Priebus swept in his party’s presidential nominee, saying that talk of “self-deportation” was “horrific” and even “racist.”

So recommending that illegal invaders voluntarily go home, just like they voluntarily came here, is “racist.”

I would never have known that without a genius like Priebus telling me.

With the Priebus/Rove axis in power, I don’t ever see the Republicans winning the presidency. These guys have to be employed by the Democrats.

Maybe I should send a copy of this video to Butt Boy and the rest of the RNC girly-men:

Let us try a novel concept. Let’s reach out to immigrants who can vote and are legal. The GOP is idiotic to feed the lie that illegal immigrant is no different that a legal immigrant. I don’t oppose legal immigration of people who want to be Americans and respect the ideas upon which it was founded but I don’t want to make citizenship easier for neosocialists of any type.

Steve King was right. Many teens coming to America are drug couriers but of course no one wants to talk about that because it doesn’t fit the narrative. I know many come after the fact to find fathers or relatives. The problem is what is happening with the dreamer bs is that we are moving from a situation where you become a citizen if you are born in the US to an even looser standard where if you make it to America before you are an adult you are considered a citizen. Its exactly the wrong way to address this issue.

This is the problem you run into when you decide not to enforce what are fairly easy to understand laws. What we are ending up with is an IRS immigration system. We might as well just open the doors wide for anyone because that is the ultimate result of current efforts at “reform”.

Where do we keep getting these panty-waisted, metro-sexual, losers to be in positions of leadership so they can spout their effeminate opinions.

Give me a break. We are a successful country because of your liberty, free markets, religion, and culture. You sound like a looser that will not stand up for America from this INVASION. WE have a right to defend our selves. CLOSE THE DAM BORDER.
