I remind myself that such a person is a rare bigot among liberals, but then I would ask liberals to return the favor - and stop painting all, of even half, of all conservatives as racists.

I am Jewish liberal, and I and people I know close to me have fought against antisemitism on the left.

However all the leading Va Dems are not only opponents of antisemitism, they are all strong supporters of Israel.

However Ed Gillespie right now is running a nasty campaign. Running against restoring voting rights to EX felons after their time is served, which we all know disproportionately effects people of color - and using a scare campaign about sex crimes to do that.

He may not be a racists personally, but he is using the formula perfected by Lee Atwater of playing on racial fears to win votes.

That's a Quinnipiac poll.

Illegals vote here. I know this because I've watched the polls and the poll workers simply let them through.

It's even worse than that. Fairfax County is complicit in making sure illegals are not dropped from the voter rolls, even after their illegal status has been brought to their attention. They vote D, and that's all that matters.

Do you have any evidence of this nutty claim? I have never seen the check-in volunteers let someone back without an ID matching their registration in the book.

Why? If Latinos truly feel threatened by a candidate & his policies then I think their voices should be heard.

It's not hard to understand why they'd feel that way:

Nobody is saying their voices cannot be heard. This ad is unacceptable. It is inflammatory and blatantly false.
And, I think it will backfire on the Dems.

It is false that racists and white supremacists support Gillespie? Really?

Racists and white supremacists support Gillespie. Therefore, everyone who supports Gillespie is a racist or a white supremacist. Right? That's how I learned it in school.

No, but if you don't want to be called a racist and a white supremacist you have to stop taking support from racist and white supremacist. This "wink, wink, nod, nod" crap is getting a little old.

I'm not a politician, so I don't take support from anyone. As a citizen, however, I'm not going to align myself with Democrats when I don't agree with many of their positions, and I'm sickened by their identity politics. So, I guess I'll just stay a Republican, disavow racism, live my life as a good person, and know that being a Republican, like I have been my entire adult life, does not suddenly make me a racist. And if you feel you need to, then go ahead and continue claiming that it does.

+1,000

You are not alone, my friend.

+ 10,000 But I am getting fed up with the venom with which liberals speak of, and to, anyone who didn't vote for Hillary. I've found that when you speak to liberals and they start their rant about how despicable Trump is, they become enraged if you don't join in with their hatred, 100%.

That is true on this site, pp. But, IRL, many liberals are quite friendly and kind. The mask of anonymity seems to empower people here to lash out with hate and venom.
I have no doubt that some liberals who post here are hateful in real life. But, my liberal friends are not so.

So you'll disavow Democrats because you "don't agree with many of their positions" but will stay a Republican DESPITE their racist policies and positions. Yeah, that makes a shit ton of sense. Good luck with the mental gymnastics.

It makes a lot of sense once you realize it's not despite those policies and positions but because of them.

My point exactly. But I bet he/she will never admit it.

How is he taking support? He can't prevent people from supporting him. Like the Grand Dragon Wizard Whatever who contributed to Hillary's campaign. I don't hold her responsible for that.
