On Sunday's "State of the Union," CNN's Candy Crowley asked DCCC Chairman Rep. Steve Israel if he thought his Republican colleagues are racist. Israel responded, "Not all of them, no. Of course not. But to a significant extent, the Republican base does have elements that are animated by racism."

Given that the question specifically asked about Israel's Republican colleagues, when asked for a response by Breitbart News, the NRCC's Digital Press Secretary Andrew Clark asked for some clarification, "... which Republicans does he think are racist?"

Clark also asked if Israel thinks all conservatives are motivated by racism and suggested that the comment was below even the low standards of the DCCC, "Such comments are below the integrity of the DCCC (even for them.)"

DCCC Chair Steve Israel: Not All, but Most Republicans Are Racists

I have to admit it's true...Most of us don't care for Democrats...

In 1960 Richard Nixon got 32% of the black vote. In 1964 Barry Goldwater got about 6%. Why the tremendous shift? Goldwater was against the 1964 Civil Rights Bill which was a two-edged sword. One side eliminated all sorts of unfair discrimination against blacks and other minorities. But the other side gave blacks special favors and made them victims.

Since Goldwater, Pubbies have never gotten more than 10% of the black vote in a prez election. If they received, like Nixon did in 1960, just one third of the black vote, Dems would never win another prez election.

Every republican in congress should go to his office and stand outside in the hallway. When he comes out they all ask him “Which ones of us are racists?”

This guy is prejudiced bigot.
