My Tolerance Is At An End (RANT)
I'm sorry...I cannot tolerate Republicans anymore. I've tried. God knows I've tried. I've tried to understand them...and that while I disagree with their policies, they are after all no less American than I am with the same rights to express their beliefs as I do. But what is currently going on in this campaign is beyond the pale. It is disgusting and is as far from being American as anyone can get.
Let's be honest...it is overt RACISM. They don't even try to hide it anymore. They have NO SHAME.
No other President has had to deal with such hatred and racism as has our current President. We are all well aware of the dog whistles that have been blaring in our ears for months now.
He is not an American...He doesn't understand our country (our economics)...he is "monkeying around"...shucking and jiving...his birth certificate and school transcripts...he's a Socialist/Communist/Muslim...traitor...un-American...etc, etc.
What is wrong with these people?!
And don't give me this "low information" crap. There is no excuse.
And where is Romney expressing regret and shame for those who would express such overt racism? Nowhere to be found on the issue. No interviews...nothing. His silence speaks louder than anything he could say.
I've had it with the Repiblican Party and for ANYONE who would support their platform. There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for supporting or tolerating the hate and racism that is now so obvious.
From now on, anyone who expresses their support for the Republican Party will be seen for what they are...as the racist disgusting pigs that they are.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021650069Of course you are well aware of the dog whistles, MSNBC keeps telling you every damn thing that is uttered by the GOP is a dog whistle. And they must be dog whistles because you goons wag your tails every time you hear one.
This is the ultimate in intellectual laziness, instead of trying to defend 0bama and his horrible record you pull out the race card and try to change the subject.

8. A Couple Of Comments On Your Response
My generalization that ALL Repubicans are as I have described not withstanding...
If you vote Republican, I would hope that you would educate yourself on your party's position and method. As I stated, this so-called "low information" crap is just that...CRAP. It is no longer acceptable as an excuse for supporting racism.
If I were to learn that my party engaged in such disgusting methods, I would immediately stop at nothing to expose the unacceptability of its existence.
For those in the Republican Party who conveniently ignore the racism are not only irresponsible party members, but they are doing a disservice to all that is treasured by our society.
So, no...not all in the Republican Party are racist. However, associating with those who are and then tolerate it from those assigned to speak for their party, is unacceptable.
If you are not educated on the policies and methods of your own party...THAN ****ING EDUCATE YOURSELF!

You arrogant little bitch, how dare you claim that we don't know policies and the methods of our own party. If anyone needs an education it is you. You have bought a pack of lies and spew them as gospel truth, then say we need to be educated. You wanna see racism? Mention Allen West, Herman Cain and Condi Rice at DU. You will see language that mirrors a KKK meeting.

10. It's not just the overt racism that bothers me with Republicans
but their willingness to uninformed and believe lies. They create their own reality where conjecture becomes fact and in essence, in their worlds, history is different. There is forever going to be section of the Republican party that believe Pres. Obama was born in Kenya. There is always going to be a section that believes he's a Muslim. I know this comes back to racism with President Obama but it still chaps my ass that they allow themselves to be "educated" by Fox noise while voting to damage actual education in schools.

The worst part is, these people think they are much more intelligent than anyone else on the planet, yet they are the ones taken in so easily by lies. All one has to do to fool them is say something bad about the repukes and they run with it as truth even when it is debunked, then they claim fake but accurate. Just like all the made up quotes they said came from Rush, when it was proven he never said a single one of them their excuse was, he may not have said it, but that is what he believes.
Maybe if they actually bothered to listen to what conservatives have to say it might sink in that we are not how we are portrayed, they may never agree with our positions, but they could at least educate themselves on our beliefs so when they try to counter them they don't need to make up this crap.
