Yes, ma’am, you know him and don’t think he’s a racist. He just thinks it would be a good thing if fewer blacks voted.

But remember: WHAT THE HELL DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?

I’m still not watching TV news, is any of this stuff we’re reading here on TPM getting out of the echo chamber to the general public?

“Writer Julia Jones told the New York Times in an interview that Bannon, who was recently named as Trump’s chief White House strategist, would occasionally claim that some people were genetically superior and once suggested that the vote should be limited to property owners.”

Republicans always try to suppress the black vote, but i think the headline is off.

Well because they are inferior to whites of course.

Why are white supremacists always so fat and ugly? They obviously consider themselves the pinnacle of human perfection, so what are they seeing in the mirror?

I don’t have TV at all but I doubt the broad mass sees any of this as a dramatic highlighting of the crazy. I’m more wondering if Ryan and McConnell are being honest with themselves about what they’re up against. To me that’s the key question. The public, yeesh, little disappointed in them. Got decades of work to do there if we make it through this mess.

Sen. Sherrod Brown:

“[Bannon]'s an out-and-out racist anti-Semite…a bigot.”

Howard Dean:

“[Bannon’]s a Nazi. It’s a big word, and I don’t usually use it.”

Still waiting for “journalism” to catch up with these two.

This “alt-right” pussyfooting has got to go…

Interesting thing going on here in Dallas over Spencer. His entire school - St. Mark’s - has publicly repudiated him for his Nazism and it’s been very public on the news every night.

I wonder so much what his parents think of all this. His father is a surgeon here. He does retinas.

Let’s see, eugenics supporter, check. Limiting voting rights to property owners, check. Sounds like a bigot to me.

“Alt.Right” is far too kind and certainly not descriptive. White Supremacists is closer, but this particular specimen requires a whole new language
