I don't see much common decency in the GOP. Hate and intolerance is all they spew....

That wasn't the point. They spew hate and intolerance to drown out what THEY consider "political correctness". It's not "political correctness" to say that racism exists, excessive greed and exploitation is a bad thing or that it's wrong to mock people who suffer from neuro-muscular disorders. It's just common decency.

These people have gotten so wrapped up in their A-hole Crusade they have lost sight of that.

The Right would insist that pointing out racism is itself racist, that decrying the excesses of capitalists and oligarchs is class warfare and that objecting to the ridiculing of the disabled is pandering for sympathy and "special treatment".

Or as I was once told, "Whining about racism is just hating on rednecks.". LOL!
