RNC Attendees Throw Nuts at Black Camerawoman, "This is how we feed animals"

There are assholes in every political movement. Just because there are so many people. After all, look at the assholes who threw oreos at Michael Steele.

Yes, it's such a huge leap from other behavior we've seen from Republicans toward minorities. I can see why it would be so unbelievable.

I mean, I could juxtapose equally rare racist incidents by Democrats with the average quality of Democrat governance in majority-black cities and use it to smear every Democrat and question their motives.

Or you know, I could try to win on the superiority of my policies. Knowing that I can.

Was that before or after Condi Rice, Mia Love and Artur Davis spoke?

I don't know. I was watching MSNBC so they refused to show all of speeches made by non-white people.

How can you?  Romney's plans are so intentionally vague you can't tell whether they would be better or worse.  Not that Obama has been a model of clarity either.  That lack of clarity on both sides is the prime reason why this election has turned into a referendum on likeability and trust, which so far Romney has been losing.

I don't really care about Romney's plans. I believe in the man himself. I'm not voting for a political platform.  I'm voting for someone I believe will be the most eminently qualified, competent, and diligent president in history. In all honesty, I believe he doesn't elucidate his exact plans in order to prevent the GOP base from being mad. Because nothing in Romney's personal history suggests someone who is an ideologue (something very different from Obama or any of Romney's primary candidates). He was a center-left governor in MA and a non-ideological problem solver at the Olympics.

I mean, I personally want short-term stimulus (very unpopular among Republicans but probably necessary) as well as long-term entitlement reform (as opposed to adding another one ala Obama), and I suspect that's what Romney will deliver if he wins. And if that's his plan, there's obvious reasons why he can't declare it.

He is Herbert Hoover without the moral compass. You in fact describe Herbert Hoover well -- an alleged moderate who couldn't decide between the liberal and reactionary wings of his party once the economy went sour.

People have gone from Left to Right... and from Right to Left. He has sold out his moderate past to curry favor with the Hard Right and especially its financial contributions.  He has shown himself consummately ruthless in his business dealings.   

Elect Romney and you get the GOP base -- the Tea Party cultists, the Religious Right, and Corporate America. You get warmongering as foreign policy. You get the strident denial of reproductive rights.

An America like Fascist Italy but without the antiquities and opera, but plenty of castor oil and truncheons? Such is the GOP platform.

What do you mean by "moral compass". Sounds like a code-word that basically says "NOT AS LEFTIST AS ME MUST BE EVIL".

And really, is this what the modern left has descended to? Not questioning someones competence or capability, but "YOU'RE A FASCIST". How do you even rebut inane name-calling? Besides just letting it stand and rot.
