Joan Walsh: Right-wing racism on the rise (Rush, White men, the Birthers, Beck, etc..)

"One look at Congress, the Supreme Court, Fortune 500 CEOs -- or conversely, at prison cells across America -- tells you how delusional the Beck-Limbaugh-Buchanan view is, but that doesn't make it irrelevant."

Every one of those black men and women in prison is innocent, right Joan? "Political prisoners" I suppose you'd call them.

[DakotaRed]

How great to see so many GOP “leaders” chooing to keep on the kid gloves to ward off the attacks against the parties jugular vein by Democrats, opting for decades more of obscurity.

I guess everyone has already forgotten the last 8 years.

[JohnLongIsland]

She forgets to mention that the present occupant in the Big House and his lovely bride hate whitey.

[Blue Jays]

Of course they're misunderstood and sweetly innocent!
Want to find an innocent in prison....just poll the inmates...they'll all tell ya' the same! [/sarcasm]

Do Not Question the Party

[SWAMPSNIPER]

If they can’t play the race card they have nothing to say!

[MestaMachine]

Of course o showed no racism at all in the race-baiting Gates circus.
They are only trying to hype up their own idiot constituency. We are gaining real traction and they are like trapped rats. GOOD!!!
I hope they chew their tails off.
Conversely, they are the ones also doing the physical intimidation, not us. They are the ones inciting violence and we had better be prepared for it.

[stevejwn]

Joan Walsh is a major hag, I bet shes the biggest racist of them all.

[SERE_DOC]

Just like the NBPP and voter intimidation and the AG buffoon who see's nothing wrong with that.

you are so correct.

[TheBlueMax]

You know, I'm really sure that we conservatives need the guidance and direction that the Liberals are suggesting that we employ. Since when do I (we) care what Liberals think we conservatives should be? Conversely, me giving Liberals directions on how they are to act is as effective as pi$$ing in the wind.

[Rethgryn]

This person speaks of racism in the Republican party and I am not seeing it.

[Boucheau]

“Still, Limbaugh and Beck continue to ratchet up their alarming and increasingly racist hatred for the president.”

The left is doing splendidly, 0bama is on the ropes.

They will start playing the race card to try to intimidate white people.

I know a lot of right-minded white people and I have NEVER heard ANYTHING remotely racist from them.

This is not about race this is about freedom versus tyranny.

This is about leftist thieves and power mongers and Americans who won’t be their pushovers and victims.

Screw you, Joan Walsh!

Stick your race fetish right up your *ss!

[backhoe]

Always playing it, aren't they?

[leprechaun9]

Saloon.com - the essence of the politics of
FEAR, DIVISION, and HATRED!

[mazda77]

After seeing her on BOR, I think the word skank is more fitting a description.

[Jack Hammer]

The REAL message in a nutshell - no matter what they may do; no matter how incompetent their policies may be; however blithering, wrong-headed, and/or destructive their pronouncements; any and all criticisms of People of Color - however logical, rational, or well argued - are motivated solely and exclusively by RACISM.

[paulycy]

motivated solely and exclusively by RACISM.

Gotta start calling people who jump to the race accusation as "racers."

[PalmettoMason]

Sen. Lindsey Graham tried to kick off a new GOP flirtation with decency when he announced his vote to confirm Sotomayor last week. (Yet Graham wound up the only Republican on the Judiciary Committee to support her, with even supposed judicial moderates like Chuck Grassley and Orrin Hatch voting against her.)

Joan Walsh and Salon's praise of Lindsey Graham tells us all we need to know about the RINO POS.

FULG.

[jughandle]

So a Caucasian socialist would not get the same opposition? A white supreme court justice with backward policies should be confirmed because he/she could be the first white person ever to serve? Give the “racist” stuff a break-its lost so much meaning that not many can recognize it even when it is on full display.
