Guido,

Those Black Panther pics depict a different time of American oppression. Teatards are not oppressed.

For the love of pete, shut the he!! up. Your excuse making is a freakin embarrassment.

Good choice, he's the poster boy for lucidity.

When did Kucinich become logical or sensible?

Your way of thinking is not the only correct way of thinking. He is quite logical and sensible, within the framework of his ideals.

Within the framework of their ideals, so are Limbaugh and friends.

What's your point? Bush was not black except between the ears?

LOL.  Gotta love Franken for making people laugh!  (At least people that have a sense of humor and a brain to appreciate same.)

Politicians are always fair game for comedians.  Some cross the line from funny, even at your favorite politician's expense, to venomous.  Letterman did that for me during the 2008 election.  I haven't watched him since.

Franken's turned out ok....but the Teatards and Grand Obstructionist Potty still don't get it....

A CPAC session sponsored by Tea Party Patriots and billed as a primer on teaching activists how to court black voters devolved into a shouting match as some attendees demanded justice for white voters and others shouted down a black woman who reacted in horror.

Conservatives are more nitwitty than ever.....

Another note, Republicans have convinced themselves that there is no racism for the same reasons they claim there is no such thing as Global warming, or that the problem is that we don't have enough guns on the street, Republicans pretend these problems don't exist and take offense if you claim they do because Conservatives and their wealthy financial backers are the chief beneficiaries of racism and pollution and the flooding of America with high power war rifles. Saying racism doesn't exist then allows you to turn a blind eye to it, because of course it doesn't exist, so what's the problem. That is why Republicans tell themselves that black people would only vote GOP if they really knew what the GOP was about. As if that isn't insulting.

If they admit the problem exists they have to offer a solution, so they don't. Instead they insist that the problem of racism, pollution and other things don't exist at all, unlike socialism.

And there you have it. Republicans can't admit racism exists because they are the sole beneficiaries of it, keeping poor white people voting for rich white people is only possible if the strawman of the Sherriff is black.

And the media will never state that because they are owned by the corporations who stand to gain the most if Republican racism remains the Elephant in the Room, pardon the pun.

Magical thinking doesn't fix these problems. And magical thinking is all the GOP has left, that and fear.
