Blame the Black Guy -- Is this in the GOP Playbook?

[Renaissance Man]

Remember the last time someone in the GOP blamed a big black guy.

Yeah, he was soliciting sex in a public bathroom from an undercover cop.

People, we aren't playing with people with a full deck, here. Whether it's self-mutilation or soliciting sex from law enforcement officers, the default GOP response when caught doing something unsavory is the ever-present big black straw man.

Whatever happened to the "law and order" GOP?

1. Are you effin' kidding me?

It's the Prime Directive for them.

2. It's in the racist fuckwad playbook.

And the entire GOP is full of people who are either racist fuckwads, or people who coddle and tolerate racist fuckwads in exchange for their votes. Fuck the whole lot of them. They aren't worth the milk their mothers wasted on them.

:grr:

3. Yep. It's on page one.

4. it's all they have

anyone still voting for the republicans, to me, remind me of those japanese guys who were abandoned and still fighting WWII in the 1950s.

History has passed them by.

10. I agree completely. This is their last rally round the flag issue--the

scary terrorist black man that will rape your daughters and sell your country to the Arabs. Obama won't go there but I will--its a RACE issue for the Republican base.

7. Law n Order GOPs think all black guys are guilty of something

just like all Democrats are guilty of something and combining the two in any story is totally believable to them.

I've found this not only in GOPs but also in lily white suburbanites. I had hoped it was changing, but apparently it hasn't.

8. GOP SOP

just look in historical political campaigns, from the Southern Strategy to recent sentorial races in NC and TN.

9. It's in the privileged white kid sociopath playbook.

GOP just comes with the territory.

11. When was their *actually* a law and order GOP? n/t
