    BTW the term "family values" very much is used by Republicans as a code word for "Christian values" and it has been for decades. Ogie is full of crap trying to deny it. Next thing you know he's going to deny Republicans attack women's rights, don't endlessly play the race card in an attempt to fan white fears, and aren't anti-science. I mean if he wants to spend his time arguing the sky isn't blue that's cool but most people will just laugh at him and instantly recognize what sort of game he is playing.
    A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

      I do have a question though.

      Am I a bigot if I speak out against the Ku Klux Klan for their bigotry and what it stands for because that in turn, implies I have no tolerance for them (which would thus make me bigoted)?

          Then we should not speak out against the Ku Klux Klan; it's wrong to be bigoted.

                Going right around the bend aren't we? When one draws moral equivalence of a major party to the KKK (which btw they have had along and storied opposition to) it's almost as hopelessly deranged and pathetic as the making Israel=Nazi's that seems to be in vogue.

                  I'm just using an example to get to the root of your "logic" - it's wrong to speak out against bigotry, because then that would make you bigoted.

                      Their "long and storied opposition" to groups like the klan where when they were progressive and known as the "radical Republicans". Conservative, the American right wing, has always been the klan's base and the modern Republican Party is the conservative party. Conservatives in America have always, always, ALWAYS been on the wrong side of history when it comes to race. Your nonsense reminds me of the popular Republican claim that "more Republicans voted for civil rights than Democrats" which completely ignores that the parties have switched positions and that the break down was progressives were for equal rights while conservatives, especially southern conservatives, were militantly opposed to it. Conservatives were the enemies of equal rights and the modern Republican Party is nothing if it is not so conservative as to be right wing reactionaries.

                      Do you honestly believe the modern Republican Party would embrace those northern progressives who opposed the klan and who pushed for equal rights? Hell, they've purged the party of even moderate conservatives calling them RINOs so obviously your claim is bogus.
