No One Should be Accusing Republicans of Being Racist

Some people are finding an anti-miscegenation racist signal in the RNC’s “Tacky Blonde” Harold Ford attack ad. In defense of the ad, local conservative blogger, Nathan Moore, writes that he’s been “in hundreds of Republican meetings, and not once can I think of a time when race was brought up and discussed in any context.”

Dude, the fact that the Republican party, one of only two major political parties in the US, hasn’t discussed race in “hundreds of meetings” “in any context” is nothing to be proud of.

And by the by, no one should be accusing Republicans of being racist. They should be accusing them of pandering to and manipulating people who are.
