Conservatives Republican’ Hate-Based Campaign Against Liberals (Obama in particular)

The Republican elephant and  supporters may have a short memory but not the rest of us.....A Dom recently kept me awake online late into the night trying to convince me why the Republicans are fair minded people.....and good for everyone in America.....I think NOT.



The right-wing smear campaign against Liberals in genral and Barack Obama in particular. Conservatives intend, as they have so many times before, to appeal to Americans’ ugliest prejudices

There is no greater and unjust privilege in the world than claiming power and authority merely because one is born a certain skin color.  For whites who have seen their incomes decline and jobs lost because of global corporations shifting jobs to below-poverty wage nations, the Siren song of right wing hate radio -- financed by the very corporations fleecing the economically stretched white person of limited education and means -- is alluring. 


President Obama keeps conceding ground to the very same corporations, as he has in the so-called "healthcare reform" bill.  If his character has learned how to be a "non-threatening" black, it doesn't matter. Big money is going to use racist pawns to come after him anyway.

• Republicans invented and successfully implemented the Southern Strategy.
• Republicans (along with many Dixiecrats who would later join the GOP) opposed the Civil Rights Act and other civil rights measures.
• Republicans invented the concept of the "welfare queen" and successfully achieved the demonization of welfare recipients (who were always portrayed as black and often portrayed as female).
• Willie Horton anyone?
• Republicans are the party of strong anti-immigration sentiments.
• Republicans have led the way in anti-muslim rhetoric.
• Republicans have created many code words (states' rights, etc.) to talk about race without actually talking about race.
• There's Trent Lott's entire existence.
• Jesse Helms' entire existence (that was a good ad, you know, the one with the hands?).
• Of course there's Rush Limbaugh.
• Then there's Michael Savage.
• And Bill O'Reilly.
• And how could we forget Fox News?
• Republicans were slow to act and quick to blame the victim in HurricaneKatrina.
• The 2008 election found conservatives using anti-muslim, "suspiciousforeigner," and generally racist language and imagery to describe Barack Obama.
• Republican politician Chip Saltsman distributed copies of the song  Barack the Magic Negro to members of the Republican National Committee.
• Conservatives believe that lending to minorities caused the subprime crisis.
• Recently several conservatives have stated that Obama is purposefully hurting the economy to justify "forced reparations."
• There's the recent rise of segregationist Republican Senator Jeff Sessions(current ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee).
• Many conservatives have made racist statements about swine flu and Mexicans (or immigrants in general).
• And most recently, conservative author Byron York wrote that the opinions of black people shouldn't be included when measuring Obama's popularity.

• We all know that those dirty sneaky Republican’s speak with special code words to let their racist followers onto their REAL agenda. We know words like “socialist, communist, liberal, progressive and community organizer” are all Republican code words for “black”. Now a group of free thinkers has put together a list of Republican code words so we can all follow along.
