Racist McCain Republicans

Posted on 02/28/2008 at 8:37 am by Bob Cesca

We need to repeat this headline over and over again. Because this is how the Republicans are going to run Senator McCain’s campaign: with race-baiting and outright intolerance — playing up the irrational fears of its toothless, inbred constituency in places like Tennessee, where this is happening:

Tennessee Republican Party put out a press release entitled “Anti-Semites For Obama,” accusing “Barack Hussein Obama” of being anti-Israel and linked to Louis Farrakhan. And just to sweeten the deal, they included the picture of Obama in native African clothing.

Tennessee, you might recall, is where Republicans used race-baiting against Harold Ford in ’06.

Racist McCain Republicans. Racist McCain Republicans. Racist McCain Republicans.

    BobThose of us who live in AZ recognize that John McInsane is not exactly a full six pack. He is a very very short tempered nasty old man. He is vicious and probably bites.He will stop at nothing, illegal or not, to gain the nomination.The fact that Renzi (another illustrious Arizonan) is still active on his campaign says volumes about that creep.McCain is simply an old, nasty, filthy George Bush who wants more war, more death and a free ride.Send him home….oh wait, please don’t. Then again, when you’re a carpetbagging Republican politicians, WHERE is HOME??? At the side of his heiress wife … whose facelifts indicate her eyes are going to soon meet at the back of her head!

    What a bunch of horseshit. The Tennessee Republican Party needs to be censured and censored for their lies. The scariest thing of all, is that this type of bullshit is effective. The Republican Party knows they can prey on the bigotry of many many Americans.Even their stupid little ad referred to the Somali elder clothing as “muslim attire”.This kind of stuff makes me the most angry.

    Except that “racist Republican” is redundant.

    whats really ironic about this is that most members of the Tennessee Republican party are anti-semetic themselves…
