“The GOP has scores of racists”: A former Bush official condemns modern Republican orthodoxy

The definition of racist has been twisted so much as to have no meaning other than to spur even more resentment in the black community. According to “white privilege” all you need to be a vile racist now is white skin. How is that different from the KKK hanging the first available man with black skin after a confrontation or suspected crime?

If you are white or Asian or non black Hispanic, you are racist. There is an old saying about pointing out a sliver in your opponent’s while ignoring the timber in your own. Rioting, beating old men and young women, looting, murdering each other in large numbers are all the white mans’ fault and to be forgiven as understandable and deserved where whites are the victim.

Now Rand Paul is going to throw out the laws that disproportionately affect blacks. I guess he’ll be vacating murder convictions if the accused is black.

Rant over.

"I helped him. It was everyone in the administration. [The information] was provided by 16 U.S. intelligence agencies and CIA director George Tenet. The Russians, French and British spy agencies all provided the same evidence. It was a political and intelligence failure. The politicians took advantage of that. They took the intelligence and cherry-picked it, reinforcing the idea that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction."

This senile old crud should just shut up. First, he says that all the intelligence was consistent - including that from foreign governments - and then he says it was "cherry-picked."

This should be emphasized for those that hadn't read even the excerpt:

The GOP has scores of racists. Under Richard Nixon’s blessing, the GOP took advantage of disgruntled Democrats in the South. They [Those Democrats] are still there and their children are there. This is very much known in our party. This was a conscious strategy.

[GeronL]

They cannot handle even the slightest criticism of Obambam without screaming “racist” can they?

[Cold Heat]

“Mitt Romney surrogate John Sununu famously suggested that the endorsement was motivated by race “

Actually, Powell himself alluded to the racial importance of his vote..In other words, he said it.

[FreedomPoster]

That about says it with Colin Powell. If you aren’t smart enough to not have your picture taken with Screwy Louey, you aren’t very smart/politically astute. Or you have completely unacceptable politics. Either way, it isn’t good.

[kaehurowing]

But not as many as the Democrats.

[Rashputin]

While that's possible, it was the democrat fascist party that instituted the welfare plantation system, keeps it well funded, and keeps da’ boyz in line by ostracizing anyone who doesn't stay on the democrat welfare plantation.

Anyone who doubts that fact need only look at Detroit.

[tet68]

As though there weren’t millions of racists
in the Democrat party.

[KarlInOhio]

Scores? Not hundreds. Let's say the author picked scores because he couldn't get to two hundred so there are 180 racists in the GOP. So about 0.0002%. Ooooooooooo!

[KarlInOhio]

Strike “Author” and insert “idiot quoted by the author”.

[Boomer]

These anti-freedom liberals really need to get a new diatribe. This old song and dance was old 10 years ago let alone now.

Heck, if anything, the liberals have proven themselves to be the racists on every level while conservatives do their (our) level best to get along with everyone who believes in America and the American way.

Don’t want to assimilate? Fine. America; love it or leave it. It isn’t just a bumper sticker anymore.

[RingerSIX]

I don’t give a flying rat’s dingleberries what color someone’s skin happens to be or where their daddy came from. I hold everyone to the same standard. I am the kind of person that Democrats like to pretend is racist.

[Gay State Conservative]

...has actually gone on the warpath against it at times.

Sounds like one of those "lifelong Republicans" who,like Powell,voted for Obola....twice.

[okie01]

Lawrence Wilkerson is a self-hating Republican.

[huckfillary]

Republican orthodoxy? If you have no ideals, you can have no orthodoxy.

[Unam Sanctam]

Name one publically known Republican who is racist, hotshot!

[Zathras]

Never heard of him but somehow Salon has.
Another Infiltrator probably with connections with McCain

[smokingfrog]

You couldn’t get me within a 1000 yards of Calypso Louie.
