a couple years ago i was dragged - very unwillingly - to an opera. hundreds of people there, not a one was black.

is it your position that opera-goers are therefore 'overwhelmingly racist'?

Were the folks at the opera carrying racist signs such as telling Obama to go back to Kenya?

I think not....your analogy is ridiculous.

That's racism...plain and simple.
Has Professor Parker released the ACTUAL questions from this poll yet? Do you have another poll to back up your statement or are you basing your comment on the one poll still in question by WISER?

Oh I see, you don't like the WISER poll. Considering the results clearly show the 'baggers to be racists...that comes as little suprise.

Don't worry, I'm sure Rasmussen will release a poll telling you what you want to hear

Your words, not mine.

All I asked was if the actual questions have come out yet. Any intelligent individual understands that a poll can easily be skewed to reflect desired results through wording. Most polls are open and honest enough to include the actual questions asked.

Since you do not cite another poll to back up your statement I will take it that you were making another ridiculous accusation.

FAIL

The lady in the the video said that Republicans lead the way on civil rights, but those were liberal Republicans who have all been purged from the Rupublican party. The Southern Democrats were racists, they are now Republicans. When LBJ signed the Civil Rights Bill he said we (The Democrats) have lost the south for a generation.
