Thought I'd go back to a point I missed:
The irony of you comparing an elected official of the Republican Party (there? Is that better?) in one of the largest counties in the nation with a population of 3,026,786 - that's MILLIONS ripe with racist Republicans to the village of Winter Haven, Florida, with its population of 32,577 - that's THOUSANDS (est. 2007) (most likely also ripe with racist Republicans, but that's another thread...) with a non-elected official - merely a candidate for mayor - simply amazes me!
The fact that you think that one is "not really a national news story" when it's dealing with (again) an elected official of the Republican Party (there? Is that better?) in one of the largest counties in the nation with a population of 3,026,786 - that's MILLIONS, yet you think that the one who's a mayoral candidate in East Podunck, Floriduh with its population of 32,577 - that's THOUSANDS should be considered "a national news story" simply amazes me even more!
See the point is the GOP partisan hacks can't admit it is racism. It destroys the whole we hate Obama for his policies not his race shit, they trot out all the time.
The sad part is the partisan hacks have basically gift wrapped the election to Obama with all their other crap. I was on another forum and read a thread about Obama not celebrating Easter but celebrating Muslim holidays. This is a national forum which a year or two ago the thread would have gotten a lot of support. Now most of the moderates are like,"Shut the fuck up about this shit" The GOP hacks have beaten the horse so much, the middle are starting to feel bad for the horse. The spin is now back-firing. The GOP have gone to the personal attacks on Obama well so much it is now dry.
