The sort of meanness that we've seen all along, such as the lack of decorum from the guy yelling 'you lie' during the State of the Union and the branding of Obama's tepid, moderate-Republican policies as socialist come from Republican politicians who know that their base doesn't see any problem at all with showing disrespect to any black president and feels any lie is appropriate. This whole birther conspiracy thing is really 'did you forget this guy's black'. The opposition to 'takers' and safety nets is code for "I don't want any of my tax $ supporting blacks. We have all of this made up crap about Obama sending $ to urban minority slackers, when the trail of federal revenue distribution flows from the industrial northeast, midwest, and California to the red states of the Republican south. We've moved from dog whistle alerts to fire engine sirens. The Republican base is terrified of the demographic change in America.

This speaks to their problem with how the electorate has changed and instead of trying to move away from that dynamic they're shouting it even louder.

no, man. you're just taking shitty things the republicans did and calling them racist because Obama is black

they said Kerry was a coward in Vietnam. it was indefensible and he is white

Matthews leads his afternoon show with an apology for his "stupid" "wrong" and "bad" remark about the storm, made early Wednesday morning

Another New York congressman put it this way: "The bill opens the door and invites the entrance into the political field of a power so vast, so powerful as to threaten the integrity of our institutions and to pull the pillars of the temple down upon the heads of our descendants." A Republican senator from Delaware claimed that Social Security would "end the progress of a great country and bring its people to the level of the average European."

Eighty years ago, in response to Social Security.

Oh man, I forgot about this bestest reply to a Trump tweet, by a Chrysler senior VP...

comparing the 47% comments to Obama's innocuous and true "You didn't build that" comment. wow.

Glad he did this.

I think the misconception that half the country doesn't pay a lick of taxes played a way bigger role in this contest than the misconception that black people suck

This whole thing is absolutely fascinating. Loving the dichotomy between between the republicans who say change is needed against the ones who want to dig in deeper against the lazy people and sluts, whoever they are.

and cheerleader Bill O'Reilly pretty clearly articulated (among others) that those 50% not paying taxes are minorities.

I agree. But I think a lot of the people who are viewed as not paying taxes are also minorities. Although, as it was said a lot of that money is flowing from blue to red states.

Yeah, and you're never going to explain that to someone if, instead of trying to explain it, you just say Ah, you're all a bunch of racists!

Red states have lots of minorities. The money flow by itself doesn't prove anything.

Is there an Eatdatpussy take on the election? Seems pretty socially conservative, given that he doesn't actually, you know, eat pussy.

Johnson got over 1.1 million votes. Proud of him.
