		<description>&lt;p&gt;“We are where we were with the black folks after the Revolutionary War,”  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- For someone who’s involved in running our country you would think that he would know his history  - It was the Civil War.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;But Rs AREN’T racist. Every one I’ve ever asked has told me so.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You guys that want to stereotype a group because of the actions of a small number of people who are a member of that group are no better than the racist.  Isn’t that line of thinking the root of modern racist?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is the Democratic party any better? Many dems, and a growing number of repubs, continue to exploit the poor by using government policy to buy votes, thus ensuring that the poor stay poor by making them reliant on the government for assistance and thus ensuring continued votes from the poor in fear that someone will “take away” their handouts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People are racist, not groups.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-1123253&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;SanderO @ 33&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I suppose this is a southern bigot?  Amazing in the 21st century.  But heck, we know that repukes have a racists strain running through them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not surprised.  But surprised that they say it openly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i guess you didn’t read your comment or think before you wrote it. repukes sounds as racist as that smallminded man in arkansas.one of the neat things in the south on all sides of the political spectrum is that things are talked about in the open so at least most of the time,even if you don’t like it ,you know where someone stands and you aren’t left at the alter of false promises such as those of the policies of dems who leave the people they profess to help more dependent than ever with their handouts&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I don’t think he’s looked at a census lately. Nearly 400 million Americans . . . of which only about 13% are black. Yeah, that’s some out-populatin’ there. Between 2004 &amp; 2005 there was an increase in the African-American population of about 500,000. African American are projected to reach 15% of the population in 2050. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe by “outpopulating” he means that African Americans are doing a better job of not “inbreeding.”&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-1123220&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Eureka Springs @ 13&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;As an AR native I would blush if it would do any good at all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A few of us have been fuming over this at the AR &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.arktimes.com/blogs/arkansasblog/2007/11/republican_repartee.aspx&quot;&gt;Times blog today&lt;/a&gt;. Also in the comments a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.4029tv.com/news/14722456/detail.html&quot;&gt;.pdf of the original letter&lt;/a&gt; which sparked this story. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The other outrageous news in AR.. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.arktimes.com/blogs/arkansasblog/2007/11/nail_gun_treatment_needed.aspx#comments&quot;&gt;A teacher in Huntsville (Orval Faubus hometown) killed a raccoon with a nail gun in a classroom before giving skinning lessons&lt;/a&gt;. Another teacher complained and someone killed a dog and threw it on the teachers fence one night shortly after the complaint.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Welcome to part of my world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;johnny reb dont need no shoes or books just a nail gun&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
