This is what the gop is good for. Two Republican county officials in South Carolina make outrageous racists statements, then tuck tail and apologize. From the AP:COLUMBIA, S.C. — Two Republican county officials in South Carolina have apologized after they disparaged Jews in a newspaper op-ed in support of a fiscally conservative U.S. senator.Come to think of it, this is what they do every time they screw something up, except when they screw up the country, crater the economy, invade the wrong country, double our debt, defend the insurance companies, support torture, and more. These they should have apologized for, but didn't.
They shout "You lie" at the President of the United States on national television, or refer to Jewish Americans as penny pinchers, or call a decorated Vietnam veteran a coward on the House floor, and then they run to the nearest microphone asking for forgiveness.
The Southeast director for the Anti-Defamation League said the apologies were not enough.
"The seeming ease with which these Republican leaders invoked age-old stereotypes of the Jewish people makes it clear that they need to engage actively in meaningful conversation with the Jewish community to understand why their remarks were so insensitive," Bill Nigut said.
I agree. They need to resign, but don't hold your breath. They are cowards and will hide behind their microphones waiting to attack someone else who isn't a white republican to energize their racists base.

I think they need to apologize..
John, I can't help but laugh when you, a representative of the Party of the KKK (with a Kluxer still sitting in the Senate), dare to indict the GOP as racist and anti-Semitic because two guys appeal to an old and ignorant stereotype. I guess you really do believe that the American people are so ignorant that they will believe you.
especially since those two guys have been universally condemned.
Anon,
It is very hard for you to claim otherwise. The Party chief, Rush Limbaugh is a blatant racist. I'm not saying all Republicans are racist, I am saying all racists are Republicans.
A blatant racist? Do tell, including details of actual racist comments and statements and actions.
And since Limbaugh has no connection to the GOP, you've already proved yourself a liar, so i can probably guess the quality of the arguments you will make.
limbaugh is NOT a racist.
He is a fat, drug addict, idiot, racist.
There is a huge difference.
