A press release was sent out showing that the RNC is doing research on how far to go in attacking these groups. This is just terrible.
"The Republican National
Committee has commissioned polling and focus groups to determine the
boundaries of attacking a minority or female candidate," a new survey
directed at college students has come to light that shows an attempt to
finesse language to convey sexist and racist stereotypes. In the survey students are asked to rate how strongly they agree or disagree with a series of sexist and racist statements like, "when women lose to men in a fair competition, they typically complain about being discriminated against," and "I feel threatened when interacting with Black people."
Dean allied with the DNC Black Caucus Chair Virgie Rollins, DNC
Women's Caucus Chair Mame Reiley, and College Democrats of America
President Lauren Wolfe and issued the following joint statement:
"It is disgraceful that one of America's two major political parties would spend money on finding ways to push the envelope in its attacks on African American and female candidates. It is also cynical that college students, the future of America, would be targeted in that effort. This episode is a sad reminder that the Republican Party's history of divisiveness and intolerance toward minorities and women is alive and well.
John McCain owes it to the American people to denounce the RNC's efforts, and as the presumptive nominee of his party, to put an end to it."
