Thom explains:

In a typically long post on the same issue, Chauncey Devega also addresses Republican racist dog whistling. Here’s a snippet:

Racism is a habit for white conservatives because racism and conservatism are the same thing in the post civil rights era.

Paul Ryan and other conservatives can claim that they are innocent of their racist political arson. But, they are repeatedly caught, hiding behind the dumpster, or in the bushes, as the building burns. One hand is busy, down the trousers, working in onanistic fervor as the conflagration spreads. The other hand is concealing a lighter. The police approach, shake their heads, and say “you again!”

The Voter Fraud Fraud 0

The strategy is simple.

When you know that the majority of the public won’t vote for you and you know that your supporters are conquests of the “Southern strategy” determined to vote under any circumstance, do everything you can to keep everyone else from voting.

Almost a third of North Carolina’s 100 counties have received permission from the State Board of Elections to reduce early-voting hours heading into the May 6 primary below what last year’s elections overhaul law demanded of them.

The law, pushed through by state Republican leaders, remains a divisive issue with legal challenges as the upcoming primary provides a key test of how new rules will work before the November general election.

It is superfluous to point out the the Republican Party is no longer a political party. I’m not quite sure what it has become, but I think that “subterfuge” comes closest.

Why Do Republicans Lie? 0

Dick Polman thinks it’s because they keep getting away with it.

The latest mendacious whopper about the health reform law – supposedly, it’s gonna throw two million people outta work! – will likely beneft the GOP on midterm election day. It doesn’t matter that the claim is a blatant lie; what matters is that the ginned-up conservative base is conditioned to believe it.

Talking Points uber Alles 0

I once overheard one of my neighbors say to someone, “[Redacted], every other word out of your mouth is a lie.” (And he was correct, but that’s another story.)

And that person wasn’t even a Republican.
