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.”

I care about what Steve Israel thinks as much I care about what the desert turtle in Harry Reid's back pocket thinks.

Oops, maybe it's the Chinese Solar power project, or the water rights to Reid's friends, or the fracking for Rory, or the _______________...thinks.

The race card is all they have—This shows how desperate they are.

They have to sincerely believe this tripe. It is all they have to hang their dunce caps on. If they don't believe in that all else fails to fall into place. The failures of their policies and programs have to be some racists fault as it is impossible for it to be theirs. They after all...are perfection personified.

Republicans are SO racist that the continue to pour money down the bottomless pit of transfer payments...almost $4 TRILLION in welfare alone in the last five years.

We’ve got 13M people on welfare; 47M on food stamps; 6M on unemployment insurance. 40% of recipients are black.

They are framing the mid-terms to be about RACE...anything to stay away from Obamunism and ObamaTyrantCare.

You are wrong, it is not “mostly” Democrats. It was *all* Democrats. Every last member of the KKK.

“Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t the KKK mostly DemocRats?”

I’d suggest that you may be more right than you know. The KKK was conceived by Democrats as a vehicle for suppressing voting by newly freed former Negro slaves, because they were too much inclined to vote for Republicans. After all, Father Abraham, whom they likely thought their Liberator, was Republican.

My friend, study the history of Nazi Germany in depth and you’ll find that neither Hitler or anyone else in the Nazi Party advocated aborting healthy Aryan(German) children. The New Order, the Nazi state would need more soldiers, workers and mothers. Sterilization and/or the murder(’’mercy killing’’) of the mentally ill or physically unfit or elderly was something the Nazis engaged in. Look up the “T-4’’ program.

The KKK and White Citizens Councils in the South were 100% Democrat. Back then they bullied blacks - today they bully Tea Party members. Same tactics - different choice of victim...

The response is to say that if some Republicans are racist that is a far better cry from the Democrats who are 100% all racists. Democrats see everything through skin color unlike Republicans. That makes Democrats all 100% racists and they simply cannot deny it.

When all else fails, and rational discourse no longer wins the day, play the good ol’ faithful race card.

Leftist commissars never tire of this scam.

I’m surprised he had time for the Interview since he probably spends most of the day beating his Wife.

Anyone know the name of the Guy he is Married to?

This man is a stinking liar! To accuse the GOP of racism, you need to be able to supply proof. This bigmouth jackass has none.
