What’s race got to do with it? Paul Ryan’s black ex-girlfriend becomes a campaign issue

• More power to them both...hope they had a great time together and departed friends... :-)

  And the point the Dems are trying to make is?????

• It's interesting how the left is asking why he doesn't point to these relationships to prove he's not racist, but would immediately call him racist if he did.

  • The idea that you don't have to prove you are not racist if you are pure of heart, just flies over the heads of libs.

    That's because they are themselves racist, so they run around all the time trying to prove how enlightened they are. It would be amusing but they are so obsessive about it that it is just annoying.

    Honestly, give me redneck racists any day. At least THEY come right out and admit they are bigoted idiots. These so-called enlightened libs are so phoney it makes me want to gag.

    • Wait a minute now Karmaa, I'm a redneck but I am not a racist. I don't care for stupid people with all the equality I can muster. Just because most of them happen to be liberals is not my fault. (snicker, snicker)

  • Pretty much standard procedure. ANYTHING a conservative does is racist, irregardlesslywise.

    • Indeed! Especially true for those minority conservatives. They are super-duper racists.

• Well, clearly Ryan is an oppressive white guy who just wanted a black girlfriend he could feel superior to. The dems just haven't figured out how to SAY it yet, but give them time. The longer it festers in their tiny little brains, the more likely it is to be spewed with no "code words". That could be the next "you didn't build that" or "put ya'll back in chains" moment.

  • That's what I was thinking. They're probably waiting until they can get her to say they played "Massah and Slave" to bring it up.

    • This may be TMI, but sometimes when my hubby and I are wrestling on the couch, I yell "the white man is holding me DOWN". I wonder how THAT would play out in this case?

      • Lol

      • You're obviously insensitive to the plight of the REAL women, and REAL women of color, who actually ARE being held down by YT. Right?

        sarc/off

        • I am deeply ashamed. Where do I go to atone? Could it be a spa in West Virginia, please?

• Now that barry won't be able to play the race card with Paul Ryan and joey's comments about putting y'all back in chains has been disproven. Will the dim wits now discuss substantive matters like the economy, energy, the middle east, housing, obamacare and other issues that actually are important? NOT, they only wish to discuss stupid shit.

  With Ryan at least he's talking in specifics and can spell Ohio.

• Who are the true racists in this country? The Sharptons, Jacksons and Goffs. They add fuel to the fire, getting rich by exploiting the very people they claim to be trying to help. They have to keep racism alive to keep the money coming in. They are sickening examples of human beings.

• I love that piece! It just skewers the idiot for calling Paul Ryan a racist for having relationships with people from different backgrounds but not bragging about it then by saying he isn't racist. If we didn't laugh, we'd cry!

• Please, spare me the Left's obsession with race and gender.

  Obama, in his fictional autobiograpy, claims he dated white women. Do these women matter? Of course not. But somehow Paul Ryan dating a black woman does matter because Ryan is a Republican and carries consevative cooties. He was probably harboring racist thoughts as he and his colored date dined or watched a movie.

  Nobody with a brain cares, but the Donks are obsessively turning over every rock they find, hoping to find a racist remark, a racist dog whistle or a racist code word uttered by Romeny or Ryan.

  Remember, if you're a Republican you have to prove you're not a racist or a sexist or a homophobe.

  This campaign is only going to get dirtier as the Obamaists dig deeper into their bag of Chicago tricks.

  • "Obama, in his fictional autobiograpy, claims he dated white women."
    Yeah, but they were composite white women--probably the kind you have to blow up and whose mouths are in a permanent "O"

• You just can't win with those people.

  (OMG HE SAID "THOSE PEOPLE"!!!!!!)
  (Yes, those Demonrats.)

• I'm surprised Al Sharpton hasn't come out and condemned him for it.

  • Hey Kip, OT but did you know one of your heroes is too left-wing for the BBC? Too funny
