(12,799 posts)He was speaking to his audience, that's clear. I *almost* feel sorry for Republicans today. They have to keep blowing the whistle, but it always comes back to bite them. Schadenfreude -- or something like it.

(12,799 posts)I don't know how many in his audience are racists but clearly he thought a majority of them would react positively to what he was saying. Yes, he brought race into it for a purpose. I don't assume that he was mistaken in his assessment by too far a measure. Rush Limbaugh has listeners in Iowa.
