House Republican: Democrats Have Launched 'War On Whites'

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."

....

Ingraham then told Brooks that characterizing Democrats' rhetoric as a "war on whites" was "a little out there."

"That’s what they are doing though," he responded.

Fournier and Ingraham, the voices of reason

You gotta shake your head at how these people think. Everything is an attack on them. These guys need a bong hit for breakfast.

More correctly it's the party of small minded spiteful dickheads who dislike
everyone who is not like them.

Think about it: The only reason Obama is black is to be divisive. If he wanted to bring us together, then why is he so infuriatingly black? It doesn't make any sense.

A real person of unity would be white, which would be so much less upsetting, unless he was a Jew or homo.

As I suppose I should expect, the Radical Right and it's wholly-owned subsidiary the Republican Party just can't stay away either from racism or wailing about persecution when more enlightened souls call them on it.

I wish I could think of a way to change their hearts and minds, but I fear there is none. The only political cure for such cr*p is to gain veto-proof majorities and turn the Republican Party into a powerless permanent minority party.

And no, Dixiecrat turncoats, you WON'T be welcomed back into the Democratic Party when that happens!
