Republicans view all Democrats as non-Americans. True?

A really great observation piece here, called "The Excommunication".

It basically sums up what the public face of the Republican party feels about all Democrats.

Many Democrats think of the current brand of Republicans as Americans holding some very un-American views.

Republicans, on the other hand, just feel that all Democrats are NOT AMERICANS.

It seems as if they think we are actually foreign and should probably be deported, or worse.

Now the writer of the above linked observation piece didn’t go quite as far as that last statement. But that’s where it’s going.

If any actual Republican says “well I’m not like that,” well, that would be fine if it was just a few fringe crazies spouting off that BS. I mean, that kind of crap happens in every political party everywhere. For instance, you think I view all corporations everywhere as inherently evil, seeping “Corporatist” Republican ooze over the world? Uh, NO. That view comes from very real and valid worries many people have but there’s a limit to that kind of talk, where it steps over the line of reality and into fantasy.

But this non-American view of Democrats by Republicans is coming from the majority of the GOP Congress, most of the news media, and common folk around the country. These people have skipped merrily across the line of honest debate and into political and social race-baiting. Has anyone in the Republican party said a word about that? Why, it wins elections! Do they know how 1930s German they sound? “How DARE you compare us to Nazis!!” Tough, your party sounds like them.

Go to www.freerepublic.com, a premier right-wing hangout, read the comments section replace with “Democrat” or “Liberal” with “Jew,” and there it is. Sorry but its true.

Just think about it ... we had all of these people in ONE place. It would have been so easy ..

A stinkbomb would have been redundant. So would chemical weapons most likely, for the same reason.

From what I've seen, Old hippies and their hippie offspring. Too bad all the drugs they took didn't make them sterile

a gathering of socialist, communist, anarchist and other freaks. I consider it a blessing in disguise. Just think if these mental morons worked at Nasa! They're better off left drooling in the streets. A nice outlet for the roving asylum aka liberal America.

Does America want these great unwashed yucks running the country and sticking their hands in our pockets, pilfering our hard-earned money to finance their lifestyles?
Let's pray for the reelection of President Bush!

This appears to be the Majority view of the GOP, even if the party covers it up with some decent people at the convention (McCain, Ahnuld, etc). DO SOMETHING to stop this evil from infiltrating your party and I’ll respect Republicans in general much, much more.

ugh. Sorry bout that.

I just was NOT like this last year. It's very tiring.
