New York Rep. Steve Israel said Sunday a significant part of the Republican Party is “animated by racism,” marking the third time in recent days that a leading Democrat has appeared to make race an issue and draw a sharp response from Republicans.

Israel, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, whose major role is the get his House members re-elected, told CNN’s “State of the Union” that not all of his Republican colleagues are racist.

“Not all of them, of course not,” he said. “But to a significant extent, the Republican base does have elements that are animated by racism.”

Boehner responds by going on the defensive, just as the Democrat knew he would.

Personally I don’t care if the left thinks I’m racist or not. I’m not going to try to defend or justify myself to them by trying to prove the number of black friends I have.

Someone needs to consistently remind the democrats that for every racist in the republican party there are 4 in the Democratic party.

I have no clue how to start threads. I’m a computer illiterate. But I wish you, or someone would star a thread on this video. It’s quite important, and deserves more exposure!

Racism, whatever.

My bosses all through life were black. Some very smart, some not so much.

I work my ass off regardless. If Obama wants to call me a racist I will respond in kind.

I am done with anybody calling me a racist.

Obama is racist.

If you’re anti-racist you’re racist.

Isn’t it a huge irony that the “party of Negro people” is the more sensible of the two today. Oh wait, that’s the Democrats. I take it back.

FALSE. "When the Nazis came to power in 1933 one of the first acts Hitler did was to legalize abortion." Here's the source: Hitler and Abortion (Hitler was a Leftist). And even a cursory search of threads here on Free Republic confirms that assertion.

There is only one color in the USA the red of the blood that has been sacrificed to create and maintain our nation and the liberty and freedom that the common people never had before.

When ever you hear some politician hollering racism your listening to the racist in the conversation.

This is nothing more than a blatant attempt to enrage Blacks to get them out to vote in 2014. Dems cannot argue on Obamacare, the economy or international affairs, so they have to make accusations against Repubs to try to get their base to turn out. It’s worked in the past.

The Democratic party, 1859 ROBErt Byrd photo: Robert KKK Byrd ebony_robertbyrd.jpg Democrats calling anyone else a racist ... that's really rich. That's like Babs Streisand calling someone ugly, Joe Biden calling Matt Damon stupid, Oprah calling conservatives fatties. It is to laugh, it is, well ... just like a democrat. Speaking of fat, stupid and ugly, whatever happened to that brain-dead, eye-hurt tub o' guts Michael Moore? Maybe he could do a documentary on Republican A. Lincoln and Republican M.L. King, Jr. and ...

Republicans shouldn’t waste time on this. Just point out that the Democrats say this same thing every election, then counter-attack that the Democrats are just doing this to cover up the issues, like ObamaCare

I love it when they do this because the GOP simply trots out, Allen West, or Ben Carson, or Mia Love to respond etc...

He was pro-abortionist towards non-Germans.The Nazis wanted to increase the native German population to the numbers necessary to create a large army and workers for the future Nazi state and it’s conquest of the world. To that end the SS under Heinrich Himmler , with Hitlers blessing created the “Lebensborn’’ program in which all healthy,young Aryan women were encouraged to join and in effect become pregnant outside of wedlock to create more Nazis.

Abortion is abortion. Hitler, like Wendy Davis (candidate for Texas governor) and fellow DemonRATS, are in favor of murdering children. There's no such thing as selective abortion. It's always wrong since there are moral absolutes.
