KT,

>There are plenty of bigots it The Democratic Party, mostly in red states. There are, by definition, no bigots on the left, as being on the left means being for civil rights.<

I stand corrected. I tend to use the terms left and democrat too interchangeably. I should have said democrat.

I can't totally agree with your observation about where they are located though. There is no shortage of bigots in NY, but most of the ones I meet are blue collar democrats. The educated white collar middle class and upper middle class people I tend to socialize with (other than in poolrooms and racetracks) belong to both parties, but I'd guess most are republicans. None are bigots.
