Was born one of those people and will stay one of those people.

Another reason to “call BS” on this is:

The cartoons he’s talking about all came out years ago. (Never mind that they were done by a few individuals, not the party, and were the objects of immediate condemnation within the party. Tsk. Never mind that. And never mind all the chimp comparisons made vs. Bush 43.)

YEARS ago.

Yet only now he’s discovered them and that they bother him? So much (unlike ... say ... the Bush 43 chimp comparisons) that he’s leaving the party ... to support a President who’s been in office 2.5 years and has nothing but debt to show for it?

Someone who works for the NAACP claiming to have been a Republican? I call BS.

This guy?

Read his list of supporters. The first is a Democrat State Assembly member.

RINO, bu-bye!

[philled]

I take it he was OK with how Condi Rice was treated?

Who ever this clown is, he lying through his teeth. That picture has been around for months. It has nothing to do with race. It’s all about ideology. They are all socialist being depicted. Tell the race baiting creep to F—k off.

Let me check my meter...

I thought so...

[freejohn]

I would like to get windflier’s take on this.

(haven’t read through all the posts yet so maybe he has responded already?)

So a cartoon depicting Obama as a chimp is "racist" but eight years of depicting Bush as a chimp isn't? Why? Besides, I thought we all "came from monkeys."

The Dems will never apologize for a single cartoon, ethnic slur, or attack. Ever. I find this author's hypocrisy overwhelming.

Sac.Bee...LOL. I bet this whole thing is a cock and Bull story, mostly bull. Hard to believe there is a black republican in the whole damn state let alone Sacramento. If Calif. needed an enema (and it does) they would stick the nozzle in Sacramento.

So, he cannot look his parents in the eye and tell them he is a member of a party that has one county offical with the bad judgement to not know that she could not mock this president the way the previous president was for eight years, but he had no trouble telling them for years that he was a member of the party that FORMED THE KKK?!?!?

[so_real]

Holy Crow! This is AWESOME. If this fella is playing the race card for sympathy, he is at best a RINO and at worst a liberal plant. If we can get those types to leave the Republican party en-masse of their own free will, we won't have to start a third party afterall. We'll be able to reclaim "Republicanism". That will save us a lot of time and work. Someone please thank that jack-wagon and hold the door so it doesn't smack him on his way out. And whatever we cooked up to deserve this gift, serve some more up for the rest of them to feast upon.

[mreerm]

makes sense to me. racism displayed by a few members of the republican party, so resign from the republican party. hey...wait a minute...aren’t they also a few members of the human race? wonder what he’s going to do with that???

[fish hawk]

Hey Mr. Barnes, you wimpy gutless wonder. I'm an American Indian and you should hear and see what we have put up with, yes, right here on FR. It's got a lot of fair minded thinking people but I've got racist flack here for a long time. It's mostly about Casinos and taxes , which of course is the White Mans own fault as he created the problem.

I don't have much love for the Republican Party as well as he Democrat Party. I'm registered Republican but ashamed to go around bragging about it. I tell people I'm a Tea Party Conservative.

[mas cerveza por favor]

Given the caliber of Republican he hangs out with, I can almost understand why he wanted to leave the party.

Then again, maybe the demography of his district is just shifting to Democrat.

“But as a proud black man, I can no longer be a member of the Republican Party.”

Don’t let the door hit you in the...rear end.

You’ll be missed..not.

First of all, I’m fairly sure you voted for 0 in the first place (based strictly on statistics). Second, your excuse for jumping ship is frankly ridiculous. As the old saying goes, if you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

Buh-bye.

[laweeks]

As Rush would say, “You’re a seminar caller.”

I’m a good loyal Republican, but . . . . (fill in the blank).

It always comes after the “, but”

[A_Former_Democrat]

Not buying it, Ken. The value systems are at polar opposites. If you leave over this, then you were not a serious values guy to begin with. Just a stray off the plantation until the libs reeled you back.

Go take a look at an inner city or two then get back with us about how great the Democrats have been over the decades.

[biggredd1]

Go back to the robert byrd KKK Grand Wizard party....bwahahahahhahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
