Expect the Republican party to do absolutely nothing about the racists in its own midst. …At what point do we hold John McCain responsible for fraternizing with racists? You don’t see John McCain ever saying that he’s no longer going to meet with, fundraise with, any state parties that promote or tolerate racism (like the folks in NC and TN). All McCain and that national party does is say ‘gosh, that’s so bad, stop that now.’
McCain and the GOP have the power to punish the racists in their midst. So when will they? Oh, and for all of you in the media who will of course say that this has nothing to do with the GOP: What would you say if racist pins were being handed out at the Democratic National Convention?”
Maybe it’s time the GOP just do everyone a favor and disband. Or regroup. Yeah, I know, it’s not going to happen, but the hate-mongering in the party is stunning and shameful. Republicans will never shake the bigot label unless members address the problem themselves with categorical rejection of racism.
