Has the GOP become the new Skinheads of America?
http://bayareahouston.blogspot.com/2010/08/has-gop-become-new-skinheads-of-america.html

Over the weekend I caught a few episodes of the TV series Gangland. The segment focusing on the history of the skinheads reminded me of another group in America, the Republican Party. Like the GOP the skinheads

* Claim to be Christians while spewing hatred towards non-whites
* Believe America is a white Christian nation
* Spew hatred for those who are on government assistance
* Are gun rights advocates
* Spew hatred towards gays in society
* Spew hatred towards immigrants and anyone who looks like one
* Are against non-Christians especially Muslim

5. No, certainly not
The real "Skinheads" are more honest about their agenda while the Republicans act the same but try to cover their ass.

7. Not exactly new
they have too much in common with the standard Skinheads, except that the repubs are better dressed.

10. That makes them uglier than skinheads...the fact that they hide their
ugliness in their expensive clothes doesn't mask it very well...

8. Yes,
which is why, as a member of SPLC, I've asked that they be declared a hate/terrorist group and placed on a watch list.
