Amen, brother Reince! You tell that Bill Ayers-loving Kenyan communist that if he can't stop being such a racist he should just go back home to wherever he came from
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus
truly is a 100% pure American hero:
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus ripped President Barack Obama for creating a “culture of hatred” in which Democrats are likening the GOP to the Ku Klux Klan.
“It’s the culture that the president’s cultivated here. A culture of dishonesty, a culture of hatred,” Priebus said Monday on Fox News’s “Hannity.”
Reince's beef? Harry Belafonte compared top GOP donors like the Koch brothers to the KKK at a fundraiser for Bill de Blasio and Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson compared tea party groups to white supremacists in a fundraising letter.
de Blasio rejected Belafonte's characterization and the Democratic National Committee issued a statement saying it was "disappointed" with Grayson's mailer, but Priebus saw through those blatant attempts to cover up for President Obama and courageously pressed forward with his attack against the first African American president in U.S. history:
“I think he should take ownership over this divisive culture that he has created,” Priebus added. “Look, it’s the Democratic Party that has the shameful history. It’s not the Republican Party, and I think it’s about time that we also as Republicans start recapturing the real history of the Republican Party and not let these guys rewrite the history of equality, freedom and opportunity, which is what the party is about.”
Priebus is completely right, and there's no denying it. If President Obama had simply known his place and been satisfied with his job in the U.S. Senate, none of
this bitter division would be taking place. And there certainly wouldn't be any this hatred:
And that's not all. If Barack Obama hadn't had the uppity arrogance to think he could be president, Mitt Romney would never have
gone birther on the campaign trail—and neither
would his sons. If it weren't for Obama, a Republican congressman never would have yelled out "You lie!" in the middle of his State of the Union address, and GOP-appointed Supreme Court justice never would not have done
the same thing—albeit
sotto voce.
The list of things that wouldn't be happening if it weren't for President Obama could go on forever, but in all fairness to him, he's not the only reason that Republicans are acting out their hatred—they also went nuts went Bill Clinton was president. And as Reince Priebus seems determined to prove, some things never change.
