I am absolutely stunned at the out and out bigotry by people on this forum.

Not me. Just look at what creeps into the immigration threads.

There's a knee-jerk reaction to "furriners". The far-right has always had a strong nativist streak, and, in discussion, it often reveals a nasty "us-versus-them" mentality that populists like Buchanan take advantage of.

Now, we see a wholesale descent into Arab-bashing and Arab-trashing. Shameless phonies like Michelle Malkin and Bill Bennett give a veneer of respectability to this racism, though they vehemently deny that that's where their unfounded fearmongering leads.

The Democrats are taking advantage. In an attempt to get out in front of the raging mob, GOP grandstanders Duncan Hunter and Peter King are leading the charge in the House. King, he of the send-your-money-to-the-terrorist-IRA, and Hunter refuse to do anything but demagogue.

Schumer appeals to the worst of the American psyche. Instead of being adults, calming everyone down and showing the American public that there's really no boogeymen at DPW, doofi like JD Hayworth and Norm Coleman play right into Schumer and Hillary's hands.

The GOP could very well lose the House and possibly the Senate this year. And, it will be the fault of the gutlessness of the GOP members of Congress.

Still playing the race card against Republicans, eh?

The poll numbers show that your despicable tactics aren't working with the American people, notwithstanding whatever success you might have had using it here on FR.

Wait until the find out there are 5.5 million Muslims in the US and the biggest groups are 2.1 million Afro American Muslims, 1.22 million South Asian Muslims and 640 thousand Arab Muslims. Then things will really begin to roll.
