House Republican: Democrats Have Launched 'War On Whites'

The seething racist undercurrent of the GOP comes out quite clearly on occasion. With any luck, many of them will run on a platform of the Democratic Party waging a "war on whites":

House Republican: Democrats Have Launched 'War On Whites'

By Caitlin MacNeal Published August 4, 2014, 1:49 PM EDT

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) on Monday accused Democrats of making the Republican party's push for stronger border security about race, the Huffington Post reported.

"This is a part of the war on whites that’s being launched by the Democratic Party. And the way in which they’re launching this war is by claiming that whites hate everybody else," Brooks told conservative radio host Laura Ingraham. "It's part of the strategy that Barack Obama implemented in 2008, continued in 2012, where he divides us all on race, on sex, greed, envy, class warfare, all those kinds of things. Well that’s not true."

Brooks made the accusation in response to National Journal columnist Ron Fournier's comment on "Fox News Sunday" that the Republican Party is becoming "the party of white people."

The congressman defended his stance on immigration, arguing that "every single demographic group" would be negatively impacted by an increase of undocumented immigrants in the U.S.

1. Had a Dem said something like this in the other direction think what the GOP would be saying on FOX.

Just who is always playing the "race card"? It used to played by the RT and GOP just using code words. Now they are being very direct.

[Louisiana1976]

30. And that's the truth.

[stranger81]

2. By all means, go ahead and make that argument, idiots.

I can't think of a better way to cement the fact that the GOP has become the party of old, racist white people, and old, racist white people only.

These clowns just can't stop digging their own grave.

[BeyondGeography]

3. Recycling the whitemare

It's what they do.

[Initech]

4. Oh shit here we go!

[steve2470]

5. All racists are Republicans or used to be Republicans/now "independents" nt

[1StrongBlackMan]

8. I wish I could agree ...

that were the case; but sadly, ...I cannot.

[steve2470]

9. I will gladly accede to your scholarship

You are far more knowledgeable about racism than I, my friend.

[BadtotheboneBob]

25. I agree with you...

... I've known more than a few here in Michigan (a lot, actually) of card-carrying union people (UAW, mostly, and white), who almost always vote Democrat, but are very racist toward blacks.

[randys1]

26. I have said repeatedly about 97% of the teaparty are racists, and I am right, even though

i cant prove it...and easily 75% of all republicans are. But then probably 15% of Democrats are overtly and the rest of us white folk have some racism in us whether we are conscious of it or not.



When I say this I always get a racist who says "prove it", instead of making the argument that they are not racists by pointing out something decent about themselves, but you see there really isnt anything decent about the rightwingers, is there...

[al_liberal]

6. And this ass is my rep.

These government welfare handout supposedly intelligent "rocket scientists" actually elected this first class douchebag and he appears to be a lock this Nov.

[MohRokTah]

11. My condolences.

I'm truly sorry you have this asshat for a Representative.

[JaneyVee]

7. So divisive on race he chose Joe Biden as his VP!

[Sheepshank]

10. This is absolutely like.......

the so called war on Christianity.

After hundreds of years of torture, killings, false trials, suppression of knowledge and science, wars, demonizing Gay person, Athiests, Single mothers, and thumping their bibles with their guns, Fundy Christians are trying very hard to turn the tables and claim there is a war on Christiantiy.

The RW messaging is just so off as to be laughable.

[ProfessorGAC]

12. Well As A White Guy, I Hate Hearing That!

Since it's so obviously true (because they wouldn't lie) now i'm in trouble.

Or maybe it's the exact opposite because most of the people who voted for the dems in the last 2 elections were white.

[Louisiana1976]

31. +1 million

[irisblue]

35. we need to warn the Aussies, quick.

[Johonny]

15. Republicans reveal themselves by how they project their would views on others

they assume because they divide issues and run campaigns based on racial and economic discourse their opponents must to. Once again is anyone shocked these people are worried about a "race" war? Nope. Moving on...

[dawg]

16. Let me guess ...

this is all about that tax on tanning beds, right?

[IronLionZion]

17. I doubt the Obamas use tanning beds.

Coincidence, or communist conspiracy? hmmm...

[AlbertCat]

18. B-b-b-but....

....you have to separate the whites from the colors if you are using bleach, or the colors are not color fast....



Wait


You mean he's not talking about doing the laundry?????

Then what the hell is he talking about? Some Scifi channel made-for-TV movie?

22. I hereby surrender...

And agree to be taken into custody by Halle Berry.

Please, in the name of all things holy, do NOT launch a rescue mission.

[Jamaal510]

23. So what about

white Democrats? Does this mean that they're waging a war on themselves?

P.S. Somebody should tell this bum that the majority of the Democratic party is white.

[Louisiana1976]

32. Exactly.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

24. Resistance is futile Rep. Brooks

[woodsprite]

27. I'm thinking that's gotta be the last card they have to play

What pisses me off is that you know there are people who'll buy into it.

[muntrv]

28. If so, the Dems are doing a crappy job fighting that war.

[americannightmare]

29. I understand more and more...

why Sartre wrote "Nausea." The world is a nauseatingly horrific thing - particularly when I read something like this.

[pinto]

34. Representative Brooks - Get a clue. Bigotry isn't leadership, it's bigotry. Simple.

[tclambert]

36. What he meant to say was "No fair fighting back."

[El Shaman]

37. This guy

is stuck on Fox Noise; Limpball radio; Patrick Buchanan books and is stuck in redneck's ville. How sad for him.

[samsingh]

38. the repugs complain that Democrats raise the temperate of the debate
