Surprise, Surprise A Racist Teabbager





The Teabbaggers have tried to strenously claim they are not racists, even though their rallies are a as devoid of brown faces as a J. Crew ad. But they seem to suffer the same problem as the Republican party who spawned them.

As much as they deny their problems with black people, the evidence keeps shooting them in the foot. Dale Robertson, a Teabbagers based out of Houston, is pictured with a sign that uses the N-word. On top of that, he didn't even spell the word correctly.

You can't make this stuff up. Teabbaggers responding by booting Robertson out of the party. Well, that is something.

Right-Wing Website Site Posts Offensive Immigrant Song

RNC Chairman Steele Holds News Conf. On Dems Health Care Reform Proposal



This headline might be redundant, because if an offensive song turns up online, the chances are that it will be on a right-wing site. Human Events posted a parody of "Felize Navidad" on it's web site, which includes charming lyrics such as "Illegals in my yard, Throw them some pesos and they work so hard." Real funny. A few months ago Bill Maher said that not all Republicans were racists, but if you were a racist, there is a good chance that you are Republican.

I have said this before, but it seems as if the GOP needs to have a come to Jesus meeting about race. The party has a reputation of being a pro-White (and anti non-white), and it is not helping when these offensive incidents keep cropping up. One way to ensure that the GOP stays a minority party is appealing to white people, a shrinking minority in a country where Latinos are the fastest growing ethnic group.

Having a black face as the leader (Michael Steele) is not going to solve the problem.
