In a healthy GOP, the folks pulling out the race card and leveling those kind of sleazy attacks within their own party would be laughed off of the stage. The fact that this kind of rhetoric is not only tolerated, but semi-endorsed by the administration, indicates that we've got some serious problems (other than the fact that we're all racists of course).
