U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins offered encouragement to conservatives at a town hall forum that the Republican Party would embrace a "great white hope" capable of thwarting the political agenda endorsed by Democrats who control Congress and President Barack Obama.Gordon explains where that term originated and you can bet your flabby ass that it was very much a racist origin.
If Rep. Jenkins is not a bigot, then she is terribly tone-deaf. Is there a politician around who does not now understand that any remarks made in public, as well as most made in private, are going to be broadcast to the world? There probably was once a day when what was printed in a Topeka newspaper wouldn't have been seen outside of Kansas, but those days are long gone.
The GOP apparently is hankering to become a regional party of bigots, christopaths, and fetus fetishists. That's my only conclusion based on their bizarre behavior since the election of President Obama.

It's hard to proclaim a lack of bigotry while wearing a pointed white hat.
