Comments
Only 12% identified as Republicans. [participants in the survey].
Strange for WaPo to choose such a skewed group. Perhaps they had a similar-sized group of Republicans (88%) that they were ashamed to reveal the results about - to who knows what result, but surely more anti-black.
Yes, Virginia, there is some residual racism even in so-called open-minded people. It was probably manifested in the two articles that were given to the poll-takers to read before answering the questions.
So, what does this survey say? That the articles given the poll-takers were racially slanted and influenced the responses, or that the poll responders exhibited racial slants after reading 'objective' news articles?

This is the funny part...the part about where only the left is 'open minded'.
Any more self-congratulatory bullshit that you can also be proven wrong about?

Fred: Exactly where did I say that only the left is open-minded?
And just how is my comment 'self-congratulatory'?
And how did you prove me wrong?

So, you are saying that you believe the right is also open-minded? I have never heard this from you or anyone else here. It's quite a surprise.

Yes, Fred, their are many open-minded Republicans, but few, damn few, fire-breathing, fact-ignoring, radical-right supporting, Bu$hCo-card-carrying, mouth-breathing wingnuts - like you - that have anything open except their mouth (and certainly not their mind).

What kind of weasel answer is that? Yes, but no?

Don't even talk to us about weasel answers, Fred.

Well, it looks like Jimmy needs a 'skirt' to defend his asinine ramblings.
