    I doubt a single TPF liberal would watch more than 40 seconds of that.

    Democrats throw the race card so often, it has lost meaning. Meanwhile, they play the race pimping and class division card constantly.

    They vote for people not based on platform, but indentity, gender and race . BREAK THE GLASS CEILING, never mind her long history of corruption and incompetence, she's a Women!

    Watch how many vote for Oprah if she runs, if she comes out as a lesbian all the more votes.

    There are racists in both major parties, in their past and their present. Prejudice doesn't just reside on one side.

    Historically, the conservative movement, from its inception in the 1950s, has always pushed racist away, ostracized them. That's conservatives, not the Reps. But, historically, generally speaking, Swain is correct about Reps and Dems.

    I watched the whole thing. It is a "I ain't no racist because my great grand pappy had a black man shine his shoes and paid him a nickel instead of whippin him" piece. At least they acknowledge that the modern republican party does nothing for women or blacks though their "because we treat them equal" is kind of laughable.

    Happen to pay much mind to what party had minorities in positions of power, long before the other?

    Virtually the whole country was racist back then, and the party didn't matter.
