Come Saturday Morning: In Case It Wasn’t Obvious That Bigots Run The GOP

So much racially-connected synchronicity going on over in Wingnutville lately.

Michael Steele, presiding over a midterm electoral romp by the Republicans in which the moderate GOP candidates that managed to survive the primaries outperformed the Tea Party endorsees by a three-to-one margin, was ousted as RNC chair by a teabagger-endorsed guy named Reince Priebus, the former head of the Wisconsin GOP, who got the gig ostensibly for actually managing to get a teabagger who wasn’t the son of a famous congressman into the senate seat of the much-beloved Russ Feingold.

The Republicans decided Steele had to go for two reasons: 1) his (skin?) tone turned off ultra-conservatives like “Angry White Dude” who promptly switched to aiding individual candidates or conservative groups, and 2) he committed the unforgivable sin of saying out loud and in front of a microphone what everyone knows but conservatives try so hard to deny, that the corporate-bigot alliance called the “Southern Strategy” didn’t end when Nixon took the chopper out of DC. They replaced him with someone whose state Republican Party unit is assiduously working to keep non-rich, non-white, non-rural Wisconsinites from voting.

In the “Special Interests is Conservative Code for Black People” Department, we have this: Tea Party Gov LePage (Maine) has issues with ‘special interests’ (aka the NAACP). Funnily enough, this is the same guy who employs his daughter, who has no administrative or clerical experience, as a $41,000-a-year “Executive Assistant to the Chief of Staff”. Talk about your special interests! (But he adopted a kid from Jamaica, so that’s supposed to mean he’s incapable of race-baiting. Yeah, right.)

Meanwhile...
