I don't know why people are so shocked by this. I hear this rhetoric all the time in the south. I think it's fair to say that the entire Republican party has been successfully transformed into an outlet for white resentment and anger.
Just because the democrats are now known as the "party of tolerance", it doesn't make everyone who disagrees with them a bigot, most republicans aren't like this guy, just because someone doesn't like Obama or his policies doesn't mean it's because of his skin color. You libs like to act like racism is as bad as it used to be. This is 2013, the reason you hear about these types of comments is because they are now so offensive, you think this would have been considered an inflammatory comment in 1963?
