Scary: What New Hampshire Progressive Voters Think of The 2012 GOP Field

That’s the classic — “I have black friends, so I am not a racist” excuse! Racists often use this scheme to justify their evil doings — and, it’s nothing new in Republican campaign discourse.

Race-Baiting has been a staple of the GOP’s Southern Strategy Playbook in the last 50 years. In the eighties, Ronald Reagan, the greatest PR swindle in American history, successfully embedded into “frightened” white minds the false notion of “black welfare queens.”

In the eyes of many whites to date — black people are free-loading leeches feeding off the government coffers — paid for by white people.

Racial minorities in the U.S. have spent their lifetimes in a society that has traditionally valued whites over them. For hundreds of years whites have dominated almost all aspects of life in the United States — including the key ingredient that holds the institution of racism together — political power.

It therefore didn’t come as a surprise that when Obama broke the “political power streak” — and, for the first time, a non-white president accepted the oath of office — white America rapidly began to lose its grip.

About 12:01 on the afternoon of January 20, 2009, the white American brain finally went haywire in spectacular fashion.

Hello …Tea Party!

Old school Gingrich and Santorum still strongly believe that an all out racist campaign will win them the presidency. Unfortunately for these two troglodytes, America has changed significantly in the last fifty years. Yes, there are still many who are rabidly racist, but they represent a fast shrinking portion of the electorate — which in another 10 to 20 years — will be reduced to an insignificant bunch of old, dying — hungry howling hyenas.

Huffington Post: On Monday, in response to a question about health care following a routine Chamber of Commerce speech, super-wealthy Romney tried to illuminate the virtues of a free market.

“I like being able to fire people who provide services to me,” he said, his expression altering perceptibly as he heard the words tumble out. “You know, if someone doesn’t give me a good service, then I want to say, ‘I’m going to go get someone else to provide that service to me.’”
