Rush Limbaugh thought this racist picture was funny…
“Stung by accusations from some Democrats that bigotry underlies virulent opposition to President Obama and wary of further setbacks among minority voters, some Republicans are lashing back with a new mantra: We are not racists,” according to the L.A. Times.
Are most Republicans racist?
I don’t think so – but I think most Republican leaders in Orange County and in California certainly are. And the Southern Republicans are a lost cause.
You think you can round up ten Latinos who feel otherwise? Or ten black Americans?
Sorry nutters – Jesus was brown!
The GOP is a party of white, Christian conservatives. They like to trot out minorities, on a leash, to show they aren’t racist but most minorities don’t buy it.
Republicans in California, in particular, like to blame immigrants for all the state’s ills. That this is a lie doesn’t stop them.
As for their feelings about President Barack Obama, just listen to Rush Limbaugh for a little while and you will hear one racist onslaught after another. I tuned in the other day and heard Rush spend an hour laughing about a picture of Obama where he was caricatured as a witch doctor. Rush cracked up – but all I could think was Rush is a RACIST PIG!
Is there hope for the GOP? I really don’t think so. They have painted themselves into a white corner. Good luck with that. You can’t turn back demographics…
Is this photo racist?

For proof that these folks are crazy racists, look no further than the “birther” movement.
These people will refuse ANY government document and the word of government officials, even a Republican Governor’s word, yet will believe ANY fellow lunatic who posts crap on the internet.
If you take their “beliefs” to their logical conclusion, NO ONE can “PROVE” anything really, not their identity or proof of ownership and not our currency (really what is a dollar bill worth if you don’t trust your government ).
If they choose not to believe or respect official documents they really are advocating anarchy.
Why didn’t they feel this way when Bush was POTUS?
Why are they so distrustful now? Because Obama’s BLACK!
On this blog, just check out #18 Cion’s post under; Court trial to determine eligibility of president Obama may be set for Jan 26, 2010, go to the links he provides and read the comments. It’s all rage and hatred mixed with threats of violence.
These people are CRAZY RACISTS and the “rational” Republicans who know this is BS but continue to PRETEND that there is some validity to this nonsense are PLAYING WITH FIRE.
Junior,
That picture is not. Bush is presented as himself.
The caption alludes to his supposed stupidity.
Let’s see, Bush wasted hiw much money in the Iraq War? And he destroyed our economy?
Yes, I would say Bush was pretty stupid…
Most people are racists, sorry, but it’s true.
I don’t think so. Maybe that’s because I keep good friends.
Republicans do have legitimate grievances with President Obama such as how Obama is turning our friends into enemies and our enemies into friends.
President Obama loves Russia and Venezuela more than Columbia or Honduras or Ukraine or Poland.
Unfortunately Republicans were warned that ANYTHING portrayed as racist will hurt the party’s credibility.
Yes, I also feel that its not racist to question the president’s birth. Even if the President was European in heritage and had a British father who was not American, we have the right to question that because its not following the constitution. If we do not like the circumstances we should change it. Obama should of revoked his Indonesian citizenship before he ran for president.
It reminds me of the Avenue Q song “Everyone is a little bit racist”. Unfortunately you can make fun of Condi Rice or Clarence Thomas or Miguel Estrada, but because the President is a leftist he has a veil of Political Correctness that we can not punch holes in.
#6 Matt Munson,
I suggest you go to Factcheck.org for the REAL truth regarding Obama’s citizenship and not the crazy racist loons who post illogical half-truths and outright lies on the internet.
By the by, there’s a Nigerian Prince who needs your help.
“President Obama loves Russia and Venezuela more than Columbia or Honduras or Ukraine or Poland.”
Yeah, uh huh, sure!! Obama loves Russia, unlike Bush, ahem..cough!!
“Presidents George Bush and Vladimir Putin have met for the first time and appear to have hit it off…. ‘I looked the man in the eye. I was able to get a sense of his soul’ George W Bush said.
They say they found the basis for a relationship of mutual respect. At the end of their first summit meeting in Slovenia Mr Bush described Mr Putin as a straightforward and trustworthy man.
The Russian leader said he regarded the US as a partner.”
You must be so informed that you don’t even know how to spell Colombia. It’s with an O and it does not have a U in the spelling. You should pick up geography book or google your information before posting it.
Not all Republicans are racist, but all racists are Republican.
Exactly right.
George Will was right: “Liberal Mccarthyism.”
Art,
I think the most racist people i have ever met, are people with brown skin!. Not all, because two of my most favourite people in the world are brown. Larry Elder and My nursing buddy, Cheryl, who is the most beautiful girl i have ever seen. Her skin colour is very dark, with the most perfect teeth. She is as beautiful inside as she is on the outside. And she has a brilliant, dry sense of humor.
I find alot of people who happen to be brown are always talking about skin colour. People of colour got to override the system and get into college based on the colour of their skin. Pres. Obama got over 90% of the black vote because of the colour of his skin. People of colour fight within their own race, lighter skin is considered better, than darker skin. In my race a nice dark tan is the thing to have!.
Alot of people with colour expect entitlements, stating,”that they cant get ahead because of skin colour”. ON and ON and ON and On.
Infact people with brown skin have become a pain in the arsh. I think they are driving themselves up the wall, with the constant bragging about how great it is to be brown (brown pride) yet it seam’s they do everthing to screwup their lives, blaming it on the colour of their skin.
My advice is get over your colour, i am not going to give you any leave way or excuse any bad behaviour or bad choices in life, because of your skin colour.
In my eyes, if you screw up in life, its because your a flake!. I only excuse people who are physically or mentally not able.
If your down on your luck, pick your self up and dust yourself off. Your responsible for your own life and you have the freedom to either screwup, or succeed.
Yes i am sure there are alot of white racist, but i do think people with brown skin have the Marjority of racists!.
And most people of Colour vote dem, right??.
And my other favourite person of colour, is Christ!.
Night Night:)
And ya know the Republicans, bunch of religous freaks!:)
That is so funny, i did not see your christ picture. Of course he was brown.
That did not take a brain surgeron!.
“And my other favourite person of colour, is Christ!.”
How dare you Michelle? Jesus was a white man with blond hair and blue eyes:)))
Anyway, you know what the problem here is? I don’t think we can even get 10 people that can agree on the definition of racism and thus define what a racist is.
Simple definition, fear and/or hate of anyone that does not look like you. At any level.
Fear turns to anger which can turn to hate.
Knowledge and understanding truth are the enemies of racism.
With knowledge comes understanding.
I Think racism is one of of Mans dumbest excuse’s for just not liking outsider’s.
I dont understand why people look at skin colour (which has everything to do with adaptation)and judge anyone.
Like i Said before, I judge the Character of the Man/woman skin colour is just the shell!.
And your right LP, i remember as a kid looking at the Christ pictures and wishing i looked like him!.
He was real cute:)
But my favourite good looking brown Saint of all time was, St. Martin!.
I think hate is just plain boredom, caused by lack of education, opportunity. “Nothing better to do, then go around picking on people”. Sometimes killing them!. Hate is just a manifestion of lost.
One of you said “Not all Republicans are racist, but all racists are Republican.”
Lets see, where should I start first.
Oh yes. Senator Byrd, Democrat Mass. Former member of the KKK.
Speaking of the KKK, the KKK was founded by democrats to resist republican activities to end segregation.
Speaking of segregation. Civil Rights Act of 1964. Most Democrats voted against it, Most Republicans voted for it.
Speaking of Democrats voting against and Republicans voting for, let me add these to the list: 13th Amendment and 15th Amendment.
“You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian Accent.”
-Joe Biden
Mahatma Gandhi “ran a gas station down in Saint Louis.”
-Hillary Clinton
“Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”
-Robert Byrd
“I’ll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.”
-Lyndon B. Johnson
Youd find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, theyd just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva.
-Fritz Hollings (Dem, S.C.)
Is you their black-haired answer-mammy who be smart? Does they like how you shine their shoes, Condoleezza? Or the way you wash and park the whiteys cars?
-Left-wing radio host Neil Rogers
You f*cking Jew b@stard.
— Hillary Clinton to political operative Paul Fray
ok believe what you will but the klu klux klan was formed during the time early american development, its one of the oldest social groups in american history, it was formed by white conservatives it later grew into a violent terrorism cell that plagued america for a few centuries, from the early 1800’s to now the kkk is a powerful white supermacist group which in todays standards is the aligned embodiment of facism in america, their radical right winged agenda and views are supported by Christianity and conservative core values they vote republican and they dont in any way like liberals.
in the 1800’s they were democrats but at that time democrats were the white conservatives there was a process called a transistion which after the 1970’s made the republican party the conservatives and the democratic party became the liberals.
read a book you will be able to verify this.
Nazi supporting monsters who want blacks to go back into slavery on the principle of being diffrent and predispositioned stigmas
How come most people I know that are racist are democrats, just my experience, and why is it that the democrats push for government housing for poor whites and blacks, its to segregate them from the rest of the community and win there vote.
In a word, Yes. That is, NOT all Republicans are racists, but ALL racists ARE Republicans.
El Grande.
Hate to break your pinata but I do know some Democrats who are racist.
Yes, there surely are racist Republicans but not every one of us fits that description
The Tea Klux Klan
democrats are the most racist, they just do not realize it. every one of thier policies is catering toward a person of colour, to shun the white colour, and exploit minorities since they are so stupid on their politics they will vote for anyone what says Yes We Can.. there was even a news excerpt of a black lady taking her kids out of school because they were so proud that obama would be paying her bills, mortgage, gas etc etc.. what the fuck .. are you serious? the obama thing is all about racial prejudices, at least the true colors show now, EVERYONE is racist, but takes a diplomat to realize the issues, and not cater to every race but white.. you are the racists.. redistrubution from white wealth.. give me a break.. get off your trust fund baby high government job high horses and learn to work a real job like the rest of society you fukin leeching parasites. And race has nothing to do wit this, but the fakes exploiting race, barbara boxer, clinton, obama. you name it. bush is a sorry sap too so dont even start with me on that.. once you dikwads get over the skin color we can progress, but it seems the democrats keep recycling ideas of hate and racism, or and their fabricated milk it for what its worth bullcrap holocaust story.. lets all evolve from the bs please. This is america, not a democratic america or a republican america, but one american.. please left and right kill each other so us next generation can pickup the ashes you left for us to build on with your pity political and power struggles.
Democrats aren’t racist, thanks for proving the point Adam! It’s called a republican rebuttal and they try to defend their strikes and racism with “This is America and we speak American.” Please! Every republican I’ve ever known is very close-minded and their only reasoning for having wanted McCain over Obama is Obama “isn’t American”. Yet he is and there he stays, in the white house.
Democrats denounced Senator Trent Lott for his remarks about Senator Strom Thurmond. However, there was silence when Democrat Senator Christopher Dodd praised Senator Byrd, a former official in the Ku Klux Klan, as someone who would have been “a great senator for any moment.” Senator Thurmond was never in the Ku Klux Klan and, after he became a Republican, Thurmond defended blacks against lynching and the discriminatory poll taxes imposed on blacks by Democrats.
Democrat Vice President Joe Biden boasted that his state Delaware was a slave state. Apparently not a racist comment.
Democrat President Bill Clinton following in the footsteps of his mentor J. William Fulbright, a staunch segregationist, refused to enforce a court-ordered affirmative action plan while president and was himself sued for discriminating against his black employees while he was the Governor of Arkansas. Apparently not racist.
Clinton also had his Attorney General, Janet Reno, file a class action, reverse discrimination lawsuit on behalf of a group of white janitors at Illinois State University to stop the University from hiring blacks. Not a racist act.
Some of these things may or may not be truly racist, but had a republican done it it would have been called racist.
I suggest you all grow up. Abraham Lincoln. End of Story. Martin Luther King. End of story. Republican civil rights bill of 1957, end of story. Yes, that’s right, 7 years before Kennedy got his panties in a bunch when he realized he might lose the election if he didn’t find a way to get the black vote. The percentage of republicans who voted for the civil rights bill of 1964 was HIGHER than that of the democrat base. Percentage is necessary here, because they were the minority. In fact, they’ve been the minority for 57 out of the last 70 years. In those last 70 years issues of race have progressed horribly. I think the ultimate insult is being told that your race is so inferior, that you must receive assistance in order to stand on level grounds. Affirmative action is grounded in racism. I’m not referring to types of affirmative action which ensure a company isn’t racist, there are different forms. I’m talking about the type that awards points for being black, so that a white person with the same credentials has an acceptance rate of 8.7% in some schools where as the black person has 100%. That is unfair, and unreasonable, and RACIST. It is also…Democrat. The party who has roots in racism. Grow up. Also to the guy with the Bush comment: Republicans received a majority for the first time in 40 years in 1995. Guess when that was? The congress makes spending decisions NOT the president. Guess what happened? Record surpluses. Guess what happened in 2006? A flip to democrat. Guess what happened a four years later? Guess what we haven’t recovered from? 4 years in 1995-1999 the republican congress FAR outperformed 2006 to 2010 democrats. Not even a question there. You can’t blame 13 years of a majority on the worlds problems.
Julie,
There are countless reasons Obama should not be president. His plans don’t work. There have been studies on over 200 economic climates and methods. In most of them (such as the 1990’s deficit with Canada) when, when spending was cut, and programs were cut, deficits turned to surpluses, and economic prosperity. In most spending situations, red ink turned into lack of performance and inflation. So why does Obama suck? It is possible for a red ink public supported company to stay alive until the country goes bankrupt, while outperforming a green ink private firm which accumulates no debt. See Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They built up bad debt. They received public funds. They outperformed the private investors, but also survived to give the public a huge debt. If they had not been around to do that, we would be fine. When a private company fails, you don’t build up public debt. A new one moves into place. We fell a lot harder than we needed to. Clinton made Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do what they did by the way. What happens if we build up so much debt with healthcare, while public funding, that we not only bankrupt the nation, but also drive the private companies in the ground and then the public sector causes bankruptcy? This is how communist countries go bankrupt. Private companies cannot make a country go bankrupt. It is literally impossible, because their dollars are separate from public debt. Capital of the amount that private companies have in the health field took decades to build up. We would literally be 50 years backwards, trying a plan that doesn’t work. Obama is a fool.
I guess it’s okay to make fun of blacks only if the black is republican… Where was the racism in the Condolezza Mammy pictures? Where was the racism in all the pictures making fun of Michael Steele as simple Sambo. Democrats even hurled oreos at the man.
Republicans fought for the right for black to vote after the Civil war and in the 1960’s when the removed the voting requirements created by democrats to prevent blacks from voting.
I just can’t stand how much the democrats deny their racist history. They should be ashamed. Al Gore Sr fought against civil rights. Clinton used to play golf at a restricted golf course… it restricted blacks and jews from playing. But hey, no one cared because they’re the non-racist party. If it looks, smells, and acts like racism it doesn’t which party does it. It’s still racism!
