Obviously its racist.


They hate the U.S., regardless of who's in power.

Obvious racism, but only two individuals. You can't tar a whole party based on this.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that they are capable of doing so. Perhaps they shouldn't. But that likely won't stop them.

It was just two guys. But we've seen it before in 2008. The GOP is now the natural habitat for whatever white supremicists remain. They certainly arent going to back the Democrats, who have 90% of the black vote and just elected the first black President. It's been like that for 40 years.

A few years ago the head of the RNC apologized for the Southern Strategy. The deliberate effort to stir up white resentment to consolidate the south as Republican territory after civil rights was signed. To a white supremecist that wasnt even a coded message. I'm sure many would like them to stfu and go away but it is what it is.


Actually, most white supremacists are apolitical, and want to secede from the U.S. altogether.


That may be so with actual white supremecists. But white racists in general know where their bread is more likely to get buttered. Or at least they know where it will get burnt.

Two whole Republicans partially reveal their true colors? Then a leap from Two to All. Is this logic?

:lol: A whole party shouldn't be tarred over this.
