The Conservative Fool Of The Day is...Didi Lima!

I have no doubt the Republican Party of today is the racist party. Of the most outspoken racists you know, notice they gravitate to the GOP.

Didi Lima was the Republican communications director in the county that contains Las Vegas. She was also a liaison for the Hispanic community to the McCain campaign. The photo of Lima with this entry is the only one of her I could find, but it's from some sort of Republican meet-up website.

But now she's been fired from her positions because - while she was working at a McCain campaign booth, no less - she made racist remarks about blacks.

Lima claimed that all African-Americans (every last one) are "dependent on the government" for handouts.

Didi Lima said she and her party don't want Hispanics to "become the new African-American community." She said, "And that's what the Democratic Party is going to do to them, create more programs and give them handouts, food stamps, and checks for this and checks for that. We don't want that."

She cried, "I'm very much afraid that the Democratic Party is going to do the same thing that they did with the African-American culture and make them all dependent on the government and we don't want that."

Is that statement racist? It absolutely is! I have no doubt about that.

And it was intended to be racist. Didi Lima was a communications director - more or less a spokesperson. If she doesn't say what she means, why was she hired for that job?

Right now, it seems to me like the only people who are "dependent on the government" are big corporations. The corporate empire gets skillions of dollars in corporate welfare annually.

If I was a corporation, I'd be ashamed to bring in all that money for nothing.

As free money for corporations spins out of control, however, Republicans keep stepping up their bigoted attacks against people.
