> [@Shodan](#): > > Others try to win by screaming ‘racist!’ when they run into an opponent who doesn’t roll over. Yes, the battle cry of the conservative. **magellan01** is really a dipshit, but _you_ should probably know better than to support this kind of stuff. ---

> [@YogSosoth](#): > > For a guy who sailed around the world, magellan has remarkably short vision. > :rolleyes: Magellan only made it to the Phillipines before the brain-washed natives killed him for not being a racist. Seriously, if the Republican party that continually outspends Democrats by a minimum of a 2 to 1 margin thinks that its messaging is defeated by superior Democratic messaging to convince every single black person in America who votes (let’s face it, 95 percent is within the margin of error) for the past five decades what is the Republican “take-away”? That black people are stupid? Racist. That black people like free things? Racist. Here’s the take-away: black people have concluded that at least for the past five decades that Republicans are racist against them and vote accordingly because that is uniformly their experience with Republicans. Yeah, there’s a Clarance Thomas or Colin Powell here and there, but they are pure sell-outs who get paid handsomely in prestige and money for selling-out. ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > Fair point. In any event I would have said that the thread title is a bit misleading. **magellan** has espoused racist views (in the past, even if not here) but he’s hardly the epitome of a racist Republican. The epitome of racism around here would be **Chief Pedant** and **brazil84,** but I don’t know their party affiliation. ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > Yes, the battle cry of the conservative. **magellan01** is really a dipshit, but _you_ should probably know better than to support this kind of stuff. It’s not a battle cry; it’s an observation. You guys pull this shit all the time. It’s not that I don’t know better; it’s that I do. I am a conservative. I know all this stuff about code words and dog whistles and how the GOP hates black people is projection and bullshit. You are making it up and blaming it on your enemies. It’s like how Maureen Dowd had to lie in order to stick a racist remark in where it didn’t exist, even though Wilson was correct in pointing out that Obama was lying. ([Cite](http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2011/08/10/you-lie-joe-wilson-was-right/).) There are points of view that you don’t want to hear expressed, so you scream racism to try to shut them down. You are getting way too much practice doing it by responding to every thing not 100% supportive of Obama with the same blather. Then you just repeat it over and over and over. You are reaching the point of diminishing returns. The word used to mean something - now it just means ‘crimethink’. No doubt it will get worse up to the mid-term elections, and then even more marked once the GOP regains control of Congress. Regards, Shodan ---

You are getting way too much practice doing it by responding to every thing not 100% supportive of Obama with the same blather. Then you just repeat it over and over and over. I am a lifelong Democrat. I think you’re mostly correct. Liberals often see racism where it isn’t, and use it as a weapon when it’s not appropriate. This ends up hurting their cause, not helping it, because people become immune the more they cry wolf. It diminishes legitimate complaints about real racism. That’s not to say I think there are no legitimate claims of racism in this thread though. ---
