In vino veritas (in wine there is truth)
Most noticeable in the responses on this thread is the denial; supporters of the Republican Party argue the incident as reported did not occur or if it did it must have been a plot by 'libtards'. While there is some evidence to support the allegation - though its probative value is minimal - there is no exculpatory evidence to even suggest it did not occur.
Based on the comments by some on this message board who are self described conservatives, such reprehensible actions as those reported are credible. Keep in mind, the Republican Party opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and opposed both the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the Equal Rights Amendment and today opposes the Dream Act.
The Republican Party is fractured into factions - social conservatives, fiscal conservatives, neo conservatives and paranoid racists - what they agree upon is clear: Avarice, Bigotry and the Callous disregard of others.. The demagoguery of the leaders of the GOP is rife with false pathos and false promises.
