Quote(s) of the day: How come you guys call us racist? Oh, and sexist?

"For what? For feeding him and housing him?"
~CPAC participant Scott Terry, in response to a speaker saying that Frederick Douglass wrote a letter forgiving his slavemaster

He then went on to complain, "Why can't we just have segregation?"

According to ThinkProgress,

...when asked if he’d accept a society where African-Americans were permanently subservient to whites, he said “I’d be fine with that.” He also claimed that African-Americans “should be allowed to vote in Africa,” and that “all the Tea Parties” were concerned with the same racial problems that he was.

At one point, a woman challenged him on the Republican Party’s roots, to which Terry responded, “I didn’t know the legacy of the Republican Party included women correcting men in public.”

CPAC is fast becoming mainstream Republican. While it also includes the crazies like Sarah Palin and Donald Trump, the (losing) Republican candidate for President and Vice-President (a prominent Congressional Republican) and several sitting Senators and Congressmen spoke, as well as several names being bandied about for 2016. Speakers included Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Wayne LaCrazysauce, Ted Cruz (who Dianne Feinstein took to school yesterday), sitting WI governor Scott Walker, and Jeb Bush.

Republicans are forever complaining that they are labeled as racist. And deny that they believe women are second class citizens. When such prominent politicians as these don't denounce this type of rhetoric, they implicitly (and frequently explicitly) condone it.

So Republicans, stop with the "You're putting words in our mouths" and the "There is no war on women" and the "We aren't racist! Some of my best friends are black!" and the "Liberal media boohoo!" because you're lying sacks of dog doo.
