Title: Republican: Yes, We're Racist
Post by: Howey on January 30, 2014, 06:43:58 pm
What a refreshing truth! Explaining the difficulty of getting an immigration bill (http://www.buzzfeed.com/johnstanton/some-republicans-see-racism-as-a-factor-in-immigration-stale) passed, Lindsey Graham (R) finally admits:

Quote
“Part of it, I think — and I hate to say this, because these are my people — but I hate to say it, but it’s racial,” said the lawmaker, who remained anonymous. “If you go to town halls people say things like, ‘These people have different cultural customs than we do.’ And that’s code for race.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) noted that race and demagoguery has always been a factor when it’s come to U.S. immigration policy, and it certainly is one now. “There’s nothing new going on today that’s gone on before,” Graham said. “This isn’t the first time that there’s been some ugliness around the issue of immigration.”


I like this new honesty!

It's like watching someone who's OCD about their food touching on their plate or yours, trying desperately, as sweat beads slowly form on their forehead, to convince you they're not OCD about food touching. 

"I don't have fucking OCD. I just don't see why you'd let such a lovely meal become a collage of fuck that...WHY WOULD YOU SCOOP YOUR BABY CARROTS THROUGH THE MASHED POTATO'S, IT'S JUST STUPID! I'M NOT UPSET! QUIT BEING AN ASSHOLE!"
