Racists Are Never Racists

.

There’s this guy in New Hampshire, a Ryan J. Murdough, who is running as a Republican for the State House and here is what he thinks about racial diversity.

For far too long white Americans have been told that diversity is something beneficial to their existence. Statistics prove that the opposite is true. New Hampshire residents must seek to preserve their racial identity if we want future generations to have to possibility to live in such a great state. Affirmative action, illegal and legal non-white immigration, anti-white public school systems, and an anti-white media have done much damage to the United States of America and especially New Hampshire. It is time for white people in New Hampshire and across the country to take a stand. We are only 8 percent of the world’s population and we need our own homeland, just like any other non-white group of people deserve their own homeland.

Wonderful.  On the Tea Party movement, he has stated that he believes they are “dong great things” but not enough to his liking.

The Tea Party at its core is all about race but most of the Tea Partiers do not even realize it. They downplay the race issue every chance they get because they are afraid of being perceived as racist.

Murdough also has problems with Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jews, and homosexuals. Clearly, the man is a racist, something which he denies.

“I can’t really be a racist, because I don’t hate them. I just don’t want to live around areas that are heavily, predominantly non-white.”

Racists seldom see themselves as racists, a view they justify in much the manner that this guy has.  A sort of I don’t hate them but if you found a way to round up all those non-whites, Jews and fags and ship down out of the country, I wouldn’t object attitude.  They’re not racists.  No, they just don’t want them other folk infiltrating their neighborhoods, schools, political parties and the air they breath.

As for the Republican party and Tea Party movement, I don’t believe their objective is to be racist organizations.  In fact the GOP has disowned Murdough and referred to him as a “despicable racist.”  But I do ask this: what is it about the conservative movement that it attracts the overwhelming majority of racists, bigots and homophobes of the country?

And if one is truly non-racist and a Republican or conservative, should they not be concerned by the undeniable fact that if their neighbor is a racist, a homophobe, a neo-Nazi or a member of the KKK, then the greater likelihood is that their political party of choice is the same as yours?  And if you, the non-racist conservative,  are not bothered by it, shouldn’t you be?

Fox News On A Mission To Spread Intolerance

.

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c
Wish You Weren’t Here
www.thedailyshow.com
Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Tea Party

.

As humorous as Stewart is, the issue he dealt with in that segment is anything but funny.  Bigotry and hate are the type of things which creep up on you when you’re not looking.  Continued exposure to intolerance, be it racial, religious or sexual in nature, has the effect of making it acceptable at some level.  This is Fox’s game.  This is what they do on a daily basis in both subtle and not so subtle ways.  And the people who watch this garbage are victims and don’t even know it.

Hear it enough times that Latino immigrants are in the drug trade or that Islam is evil or that homosexuals are Satan’s children and you get to believe the crap.  Next thing you know (or actually, don’t know) is that you’ve become a raging homophobic, xenophobic bigot.

And when you call them out on it, they deny it.  They always deny it.  Everyone wants to be seen as an intelligent open-minded individual.  This is why they always have a number of ‘justifiable’ reasons as to why they feel the way they do about Muslims and immigrants and gays. They feel that these reasons absolve them from being referred to as bigots when in fact it is what makes them bigots.

We mock Fox News and much of the conservative media.  We laugh at the idiocy of a Glenn Beck and dismiss it as garbage and then we walk away until the next time.  What we sometimes fail to realize is that the damage these people do to the American social fabric has long term effects.  And none of them are good.

Racism and Birthers

Add up the numbers from the Vanity Fair/60 Minutes poll and you’ll find that 24% of Americans believe that Barack Obama was born outside the U.S.  Then ask yourself what percentage of Americans you believe are hardcore racists.

A Wingnut’s Definition of Islam

.

Mark Williams, conservative radio talker and chair of the Tea Party Express, demonstrates how to fight the war on radical Islamic terrorism.

“[R]epeat after me: Islam is a 7th Century Death Cult coughed up by a psychotic pedophile and embraced by defective, tail sprouting, tree swinging, semi-human, bipedal primates with no claim to be treated like human beings or even desirable mammals for that matter.”

I guess it isn’t enough to have a small minority of Islamic extremists to do battle with.  Williams is hoping to alienate all one billion Muslims in the world.

Conservatives are getting more embarrassing by the day.  Racism and bigotry have gone mainstream for these people and it’s now a badge of honor among wingnuts to proclaim your hatred for all things not white, straight or Christian.

The Edge Of The Cliff

.

Yep.

It’s getting harder and harder to defend Arizona Republicans from accusations of overt racism. And it’s getting easier to give concrete examples of what happens when extremists get into elected positions. This helps the Republican party how, exactly? When Rick Perry and Jeb Bush run away from Arizona policy, you know The Grand Canyon State has gone over the edge of the cliff. The next time you criticize a “birther” poll for making Republicans look bad, remember it’s Republicans just saying what they really think that makes Republicans look bad.
