...and by that I meant it seems that these stories prove such backward thinking still exists in this country across BOTH parties. It's about time we drag these bigots and racists into the 21st century.

Ok, so they denounced it and not ALL republicans are 'like this'. Shame that we hear this story all too frequently...

(An aside: Yes, yes, not all Republicans are bigots. We know this. We hope you do too.) Thank You. When I first saw this story yesterday, I was thoroughly disgusted. I certainly hope the CAGOP is on this. I will say however that the Democratic Party is not without its own racist demagogues. There have been many incidents of blatant bigotry directed towards Condi Rice, Michael Steele, Joe Lieberman, Colin Powell and others. Though come Sunday morning, Mr. Powell may be moving from the category of Bush house negro to Democratic champion. Imagine that.

Agree southpaw. It's crap like that which is used to justify the crap seen on the GOP site.

I was driving down Fountain last night and saw someone's Halloween Decorations in a spotlight, it was a body hanging by a noose. As I got closer I saw that the dummy (pun intended) was dressed up like Sarah Palin. This is no good people. We need to be better than that, different from the republicans. Better than these tactics.

Food stamps, Kool-Aid, watermelon and fried chicken aren't racist when used with a picture of Obama? Damn! Live and learn. *snariness intended* The Republican Party denounced these images...too little too late though.

Another example of our "friends" across the aisle being out of touch, small minded and ignorant. "No racial intent intended" - yeah right just like Nixon's Southern Strategy. Well done Republicans! You inspire me.

NorCal racism isn't an obnoxious as SoCal racism. Both are offensive and ridiculous. :)
