Be certain of it.

Some of the twitters have hit people in the right places already. Much depends on the Sun’s response, if the fire Chris and issue a statesmen that they do not support the statements he made or his... what ever... then the story kinda of goes away, and one more biased “reporter” bites the dust. Personally I am waiting to see what the Sun’s response to this is before I publish further on it. If they try to bury it, then it gets big fast.

This is classic... apparently this poster is not aware of American History... has totally bought into the Democrat Party lie: in otherwords a product of publik edumacatchum. Lincoln was a Republican, Republicans FREED THE SLAVES. Republicans when the DEMOCRAT SLAVE OWNING SOUTH SCEEDED FROM THE UNION went to war to free the slaves. Own that you libtard idiots! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

8. The Republican Party has used racism to garner votes for decades.

At first they did it overtly, in more recent years it's been less explicit but still there. So it's not the least bit surprising that a large portion of their base are racist. They've been trying to combat this (quite incompetently) by doing things like making Michael Steele RNC chairman, but it comes off as insincere pandering. They're history of catering to the most ignorant and fearful among us in order to get votes is finally biting them in the ass. The presence of this base hurts their image, but if they were to somehow drive them out then the remaining Republicans would likely become a political minority for the foreseeable future.
