Detroit Republican Examiner openly admits racism, calls for "bloodshed"
In a recent article by the Detroit Republican Examiner, at examiner.com, he openly admits that racism influences his right wing views. He also continues with a call for "rioting" and "blood shed" if Republicans don't get their way in November. This article is noteworthy for the unusual honesty displayed by this particular conservative Republican, showing how his extremist views are propped up by common conservative beliefs.

3. Examiner is not really a paper
It is a blog pretending to be a paper and thereby lending its contributors a veneer of legitimacy.
For example, I have seen people parley their "examiner" status to get some pretty impressive interviews.

2. Last gasp?
Or just a new beginning?

I tend to think they are just lurking, waiting for the right moment to foment a violent revolution.

Y'know that the White House has to be aware of these racist freaks.
Maybe that's why they are soft stepping so much?

4. IIRC, Macomb County was considered a bellwether in '88, '92, '96, and 2000.
"Reagan Republicans" was what they called 'em.

Most of the residents had roots in Detroit. Those unionized auto worker jobs in and around the city provided many with the prosperity that allowed for suburban growth.

Yet, they voted for Reagan.

Against the very organizations which feathered their nests.

Against their own best economic interests.

It doesn't take MENSA members to figure this one out.
