A Problem of Shrinkage

[Askthepizzaguy]

Oh my God.

I hadn't actually seen any seriously racist stuff coming from any Republican leaders. That's pretty lame.

My question is, is this racist **** coming from official or unofficial Republican policy or is it just a handful of really, really stupid people? I'm inclined to not jump on that as being representative of all Republicans. Of far, far more concern to me was the concerted official campaign to label Obama a terrorist who wasn't even an American during the election. That kind of kiddie bull is what actually made me label the Republican party as broken and corrupt. I'm only really interested in official Republican party activities, and from my perspective they have done far more shameful things.

A handful of racists doesn't surprise me anymore. And besides, I honestly think that there are plenty of Democratic racists. Al Sharpton needs to shut his big fat mouth as far as I'm concerned. Not a fan of Jesse Jackson. And Sonia Sotomayor may not realize it, but some of her comments do strike me as perhaps not racist, but certainly coming from a standpoint of racial pride and/or ignorance. There is no reason to think that a "wise Latina" is better than all white males. That's discriminatory as well.

There are plenty of idiots all across the political spectrum. I won't bang the drum of war over a few screw-ups in one party. I'm concerned about official party policy; let the individuals hang themselves with their own words.
