Party Of Racists? Follow Up

Thanks for this. Hayes has got to be the best political commentator on US television. And as you say he hits the same points here we did in discussing your earlier post.

For more on the 2012 GOP and white supremacy at the voting booth, here’s a NY mag piece from yesterday arguing Republicans are making their final bid as the party of and for white America.
