Jonathan Martin of Politico just said on MSNBC that conservatives say they don't practice |

the politics of race, class, or gender like the other side does. I thought that was all conservatives practice. At least today's conservatives.

Repukes are the very IMAGE of race politics, class war, and gender war. Mr. Martin is clearly a buffoon.

13. Remember the Bush years? |
|
Everything he every said was actually true... in bizarro world. When he said he didn't it meant he did, etc. The players have changed but it's still the same dirty pool game.

3. Maybe he means they only recognize one race, one gender, one class. |
|
The rest of us are invisible, or on our way to Siberia.

4. Practice the politics of race, class or gender? What an idiotic framing |
|
of the fact that re-pubic-dogs don't care if people are racist, poor or treated unequally.

6. Both sides are guilty of engaging in this practice. |
|
And they are just as adept at using it against their own, as they are at using it against the other side.
Winning is the only thing that matters.

7. He's right. They don't have to "practice," they've got it nailed. It's automatic. n/t |

10. Always look at the conservative message in a mirror. |
|
The reverse image actually provides the truth.

11. We need to start understanding the other side in that |
|
their agenda is NOT to get on TVEE to promote this or that. It is to get the opportunity to say exactly what their agenda wants people to hear, even boldface lies, over and over again. They know how well the average citizen listens to details or retains trivial knowledge longterm. They also know that if you repeat something enough, it will stick in a persons mind and hold sway over their opinion even if it a falsehood.
Each time they say something like this and the M$M lets them unchallenged, we lose that much more ground with the average person.

12. Wait. Is he saying that? Or is he saying they say that? |
|
Big difference:
"Republicans aren't racist. So there."
"Republicans claim they aren't racist, BUT..."

15. As he told the story he did say that this is what republicants say about themselves however, |
|
he is touting the common mistake about the media is that they voice the talking points of the republicants as though there is any grain of truth to it. i wonder if he would do the same for Dems?

14. Hey Johnathan. Take a picture at any republican gathering |
|
count the number of people of color. Bet your ratio is less than 1 in 1000. Try the same thing at a dem meeting. quite a difference.
we could go on.
