it takes a lot of money and time to keep those white robes clean. And those poor slave masters sitting under the sun all day cracking that whip - clearly white man abuse. Buying ammo and guns to prepare for the colored uprising is a terrible expense. It takes a lot of lack of thinking to keep up that prejudice, sign making ain't cheap any moran knows that. A white guy has to keep on his toes about these things.

I see from the photograph that he's not a young guy. As a white guy who grew up under Jim Crow and witnessed some of its appalling cruelties, I'd be very interested to hear about his background. I bet it's not very pretty. I'm sure he's been anti-civil rights all the way. My wife left the Republican Party because she finally got sick and tired of jerks like him who had taken over her party. The Republican Party has gotten even worse since 2007. Oh, what am I saying? The Southern strategy has been in effect ever since the early 1960s! With the emasculation of the Voting Rights Act by SCOTUS (which is just the beginning), we see the bitter fruit of it today. I have absolutely no respect for "little Mo" -- none at all! I just hope he keeps his white sheets clean.

It's right there in the seminar handouts: "Number 173: Don't say obviously racist things in public. It's OK to think them in your head, or say them in small, Republican-only groups, just don't say them where darkies can hear you. Like, for instance, don't call those people darkies in public."

"Number 174: If you can't fight your urge to say racist things in public, use code words like 'urban poor,' 'foreign-born,' or 'have-nots.' And don't refer to yourselves as rich white men, use code words like 'successful,' 'patriots,' or 'job creators.'"

"Number 175: Don't try to start a race war. Just don't. The darkies don't like to vote for people who make war on them. And, again, don't call them darkies in public."

This guy should read the old book "Black Like Me".

I have never seen so many really crazy people in Congress.

This has been all different since the right decided to go after Bill Clinton. They dug in then and don't seem prone to quit digging.

I think back to what got Tricky Dick to leave, it was 3 republican senators led by Barry Goldwater that told him to get the Hell out of office. Can anyone imagine that today? Dubya could have been caught on tape robbing a bank and the right/Fox News would have rationalized it.

Your real problem is that since the end of the Bush II regime, too many moderate and independent voters have declared war on YOU!

Tue Aug 5, 2014, 04:49 PM

There is; however, a war on white people. I realize that statements like Rep. Mo Brooks' are made only to anger white voters, but I would ask how is there a war on white people. What exactly have Democrats done to hurt white people? Pushing to increase the mininum wage? Reducing the debt and deficit by billions? Passing legislation that helped spur the creation of 200,000 plus jobs per month for the past six months? The economy has been creating jobs every month for more than a year.

Tue Aug 5, 2014, 06:22 PM
Aug 2014

should consider changing their party's mascot. Elephants are known for having good memories, but the GOP has resorted to this divisive rhetoric just a little over a year after their so-called "autopsy" and plans to do minority outreach. We all knew that their plans to supposedly reach out were nothing more than lip service in order to persuade swing voters that they're not bigots, but they're not even doing a good job at it! And Bill-O recently talked about young black kids smoking weed, as if all of them do that:

&list=UUKZGcrxRAhdUi58Mdr565mw
Never mind the fact that drug usage crosses racial/ethnic lines. It's as if the Stormfront folks have infiltrated the Republican Party. There was always a racial element in the party, but I don't remember them being this upfront about it before.

Maybe we need to have a "tomb of the unknown Great white male" akin to the tomb of the unknown soldier in the Washington mall so white families can come in to pay their respects and non-white families know their place in american society as to "who" really built america and to quote Sarah Palin as to who are , uum are "real americans" ? Perhaps use beefy Chuck Norris or gun-toting Ted Nugent or Jo, the dumb plumber or david Duke of the KKK as a model for the statue in front of this revered tomb?

Just a thought? NO ?
