The belief that Republicans hate people with brown skin is already a commonly held idea. And, Republicans are doing everything possible-- from attacking Justice Sotomayor, to passing birther bills, to racist signs at lilly white tea party rallies.
The Republicans a real image problem that they created on their own. Yes, many of us are more than happy to take advantage of it-- but it really is their own doing.
Well, I do know ebrown... it is an absurd and vicious allegation.
The belief that Republicans hate people with brown skin is a "commonly held idea" among
idiots. You would never (and rightly so) give credence to a "commonly held idea" that Obama is a Muslim sleeper agent, or all Social Democrats are Commies. Perhaps you count yourself among the idiots.
Only a partisan hack would interpret Republican resistance to the Sotomoyer nomination as evidence of "hating people with brown skin."
If we are going to employ this ridiculous calculus, then the Social Democrats
hate people of brown and black skin and women because they objected to the nominations of Thomas Clarence, Alberto Gonazalez, and Harriet Miers. (And they must hate Italians too because they objected to Justice Alito).
Birther bills? Where and when?
It's easy to allege racisim at Tea Party gatherings,
but where is your proof, and, more importantly, where is your proof that the odd racist sign at a Tea Party gatherin is any more indicative of the entire Tea Party movement that a
Kill Bush sign was indicative of the entire anti-Iraqi War movement?
