Just posted some new GOP racism stories on Facebook. GOP apologists to start ranting in 5...4...3...

I'm speaking about these two stories:

I'm going out to mow the lawn now. I'm fairly certain the usual suspects will have responded with "oh, it's just some staffer and a guy who works for a communications consulting company. They don't represent the real GOP. Socialism! Socialism! Socialism!" Should be the same people who cried "lone nut! Lone nut!" regarding Tiller's murderer, and the Holocaust museum guy, and the Minutemen killers, etc., etc., etc.

1. Sherri Goforth is telling the truth.

She's not sorry she sent it, she's sorry she got caught.

Like my momma says, "There is only one crime."

2. I love living in SC...

2 racist comments on major social networking sites in 1 weekend! SWEET! Guess that means they're finally offering internet in all parts of this "great" state now! Frakin' morons...

3. People will make tacky jokes, but these were both poorly done.

And that is unforgivable. These are supposed to be smart people. The gorilla thing just wasn't funny, at all. It wasn't clever but funny. It wasn't "really bad" but funny. It wasn't stupid but funny. It was just plain unfunny.
This pictures of the presidents thing had potential as an idea, but they blew it. Getting in the time machine here- if someone had done all the pics up to Bush, a Republican had done this, and you're looking at it and you finally notice the woman kneeling in front of Clinton- that might have been funny. But I looked at that collage in the OP, and I didn't know what I was looking at or why it was supposed to be funny.

4. How disappointing...came in from mowing the lawn, and none of the apologists had reacted.

Guess I need to give it a little more time.

5. They can't help themselves; it's who they are

It's like Tourettes, except instead of swearing, it's racist comments that keep "slipping out." They really can't help it.
