By the same token, most Democrats are not pot-smoking slackers, but most pot-smoking slackers are Democrats. You can have a lot of fun with this rhetoric.
Very good point Lemur, I could not have put it better, as much as I tried.

It is true, Republicans as a whole, in general may not be racists, but the only racists you meet are almost certainly Republicans. Neither says good things about Republicans though. They refuse to take a hardline stance against racism, and in doing so, they are virtually supporting it.
