Fully 91 percent of Romney’s support comes from white voters

That's the take-away from the new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

So, look for lots more racist buzzwords up to election day.

Recommend reading Nate Silver for a daily dose of sanity.

GOPers and Tea Partiers Are Cowards and Racists

The Republican Party-Tea Party's grand appeal to racism—locally up to the presidential race—is often noted as the last stand against the brown-yellow-black hoards taking over America.

Changing demographics in fact do make a national racist appeal politically untenable in the coming decades.

But from the local politics of Madison-Fitchburg in Wisconsin to Tommy Thompson (fear the extremist opponent and tell lies stoking the fear) to Mitt Romney, the message is clear: Be afraid.

Best Cleaners - They're Pussies

Here in Madison-Fitchburg, we see a group of black youth and the owner of Best Cleaners in the Meadowood Shopping Center crying about how his rural, white customers won't come around anymore. [the dry cleaning place is not so popular with the brothers.]

But don't look for a message of come-on-down from Best Cleaners; no, it's easier (and more destructive) to take a racist shot; like David Blaska, like the Tea Party, like each and every GO-Tea Partier encountered. It's a surprise this guy gets any business with the marketing skills he apparently possesses.

It doesn't matter that a group of black kids are heading home from an after-school class they just took at the Meadowood neighborhood center; some people just don't like the optics of black people—breathing, laughing fellow human beings who ought to go somewhere else.

The fact is Best Cleaners, Tea Partiers, GOP, your hatred and bigotry is at base: fear. That makes you cowards. That makes you worse than cowards, in my book.

Twelve Bigoted Taunts Peddled by Romney Camp and Allies

Corporate media largely ignored the subtext of Romney's earliest race-coded comments, and have been content to let more recent and blatant examples die after a day in the news cycle.

Adele M. Stan has the story.

Feels like a moment

This feels like a moment, an instance occurring occasionally in American politics, when a political force takes a defining shape.

This is the moment when the Republican Party has been branded by the collection of kooks, liars, bigots and nihilists that populate it.

As David Frum writes:

Now the more haunting question: How did this poisonous and not very subtly racist allegation get such a grip on our conservative movement and our Republican party?

I know there will be Republican writers and conservative publicists who will now deny that birtherism ever did get a grip. Sorry, that’s just wrong. Not only did Donald Trump surge ahead in Republican polls by flaming racial fires – not only did conservative media outlets from Fox to Drudge to the Breitbart sites indulge the birthers – but so also did every Republican candidate who said, ‘I take the president at his word.’ Birthers did not doubt the president’s ‘word.’ They were doubting the official records of the state of Hawaii. It’s like answering a 9/11 conspiracist by saying, ‘I take the 9/11 families at their word that they lost their loved ones.’

Yet even now, the racialist aspect of the anti-Obama movement has not subsided.
