He actually never said such a thing.
Funny, you demand condemnation and you haven't even really understood what you want people to condemn.

"He actually never said such a thing."
are you illiterate? Here is an exact quote...
"There's a body of congressional people that want to paralyze the system. I think what's unfortunately underneath it is racism"
Which "body" of congressional people was he referring to? The Congressional Black Caucus?
I'm not demanding anything. I'm pointing out the truth, which is that neither you nor Paul have said that his statement is irresponsible. |

Spence, I see what happened...I didn't mean to say that redford claimed that all registered Republicans are racist. What I meant to say, and I am correct, is this...Redford claimed that the Republicans in congress are racist. His proof? Did he see them at a Klan rally? Nope. His proof is that they disagreed with Obama. That makes them racist.

He didn't claim register Republicans are all racist. What are you reading?
He said that SOME in Congress are motivated partly by racism. On this he's 100% correct. He also said some motivation is a reluctance to change. On this he's also 100% correct. He's it's akin to saying they oppose Obama because they're conservatives.
Oh, the horror.

Redford is very good at telling stories. 
A River Runs Through It, one of my favorites. |
" Choose Life "

Spence, for the last time, I am not suggesting that Redford feels 'all Republicans' are racist. He specifically accused sthe ones in Congress, who helped force the shutdown, of being racist (news to white supremacists like Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio).
"He said that SOME in Congress are motivated partly by racism. On this he's 100% correct"
You make that accusation with NO support, yet you continually chastise the conservatives for engaging in speculation.
So Spence denies that Robert Byrd (an admitted Klansmen who used the n-word until the year of his death) is racist. But Spence is fine calling some congressional Republicans racist, with no proof whatsoever.
In other words, you ignore irrefutable proof that an influential Democrat was a racist, but feel justified in using that label on Republicans, with no proof whatsoever.
Whew! Robert Byrd is not a racist, but Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are! Thanks for straightening that out Spence. |

Name a human being that isn't motivated by a reluctance to change, partcularly if the change is not a positive change
He's it's akin to saying they oppose Obama because they're conservatives.
no clue what that sentence means
Oh, the horror.

How about anyone in Congress who's uttered a Birther remark. I'd list them but it would take a while.
