Another GOP mailing: this time, full of race-based stereotypes

zeph, this ISN'T the republican party, the group is not part of the republican national party.

X, I don't know what to say. I watch the news and read the paper, you should read the letters to the editor section of my local newspaper. Conservatives are actually writing in to say that screaming terrorist, kill him, ect ect is such a great thing! Now, Obama just spent four days in Toledo so needless to say the news followed him everywhere and not once did the news pick up a anyone saying kill McCain, or anything nasty that is going on to the extent of Palin and McCain rallies. Yes the people of Toledo did boo when Obama said McCain and he said right away "we don't need that what we need is to get out and vote". There are a few just a few conservatives that have not lost their mind here you are one of them and I'll cover my butt here (lol) there are 2 other ones as well. I'm not sure what has happened to the conservatives. I use to be a liberal with a conservative side but, this election has made that conservative side go away completely with all the hate that is being slung by that side. I would much rather someone call me crazy liberal than a conservative. I live in a white area of my black city my children go to school with about 80% black and they do not need to hear this kind of bullshyt. I can shut my news off and not let them see the paper but, they do have friends black friends at school that are talking about this. Palin can heckle her OWN supporters asking her to talk louder but she can't tell them that racist words are not welcome? WTF is that? Explain that one to me? She heard someone call her a "hottie" and she addressed that but she can't address "kill him" "terrorist"?? hmmmmm that makes no sense to me at all! Oh sorry about the rant but this really really has me pi$$ed off even more than that bailout thing.

xfahctor, they are Republicans, and they reflect negatively on the party they support. I never said they were official members of the party proper, and it is very obvious from the very excerpt I quoted that I had NO intention of implying such. You're going pretty far to accuse me of dishonesty, don't you think?

GOP has been used to refer to the RNC throughout this campaign. I've heard it used MUCH more than RNC to the point where everyone sees GOP as the official name at this point. Just look at the OFFICIAL website of the RNC: http://www.gop.com/

See response #5. Your thunder has been stolen, and I've already explained myself.

Also, GOP != DNC. RNC = DNC. False analogy. "GOP" is a nickname, not a title.

well someone had to, you can be sure no one else in the thread would have.

I described it as a "GOP mailing" meaning that the people sending it were Republicans, nothing more. You'll notice that my other discussion on a similar mailing specifically mentioned that it was from "the Sacramento GOP", which shows that it was involved with the actual party. It's a subtle difference, but it is clear. I used "GOP" merely as an interchangeable term with Republican, referring to party and not organization. Hope that clears up any misunderstanding.

And it really would be totally impossible for McCain to repudiate all the imbeciles in his own party. There are too many to count. I'm glad these ignorant women are not part of the GOP. Maybe there is hope after all. Thanks for pointing this out.
