Ted - Yes there are white republicans that are racist. Guess what - there are also democrats, blacks, latinos, asian that are also racist. My problem with your comments are that you take a few examples or people and use it to disparage a whole group. That's because when the leaders are blatantly racist, its clear that its more than just "a few examples or people". It just isnt true for a whole group, whether repub, dem, tea party folks, black, white, etc. And it is wrong to paint them as such. Hey, if the shoe fits.......

My problem with your comments are that you take a few examples or people and use it to disparage a whole group. You cannot have said it better. I am a lifelong Republican and I do not consider myself as a racist. As a matter of fact my two daughter-in-laws are hard working Vietnamese, and my wife and I love them dearly. My next door neighbors are black, and we are good friends. My other neighbors are Phillipinos, and we get along real well. So there. I am sure that there are many Republicans who are as color blind.
