ORIGINAL: DomCplsc That "someone" you refer to is the architect of the GOP's strategy for the past 20 years. Of course, this highlights the ignorance without which the blatant racism of the Republicans wouldn't have been viable this long. I'm just wondering: can you name a single, overtly racist policy of the GOP? Yes. The friction detonated this week when Doug Preisse, the influential Republican Party chairman of Franklin County, which includes the state capital, Columbus, was quoted in The Columbus Dispatch newspaper as saying, “I guess I really actually feel we shouldn’t contort the voting process to accommodate the urban — read African-American — voter turnout machine.” Mr. Preisse has sought to tamp down the fury, saying in a statement that his comments, which The Dispatch said were e-mailed to the reporter writing the article, were “misconstrued, and in some cases misquoted entirely.” “However,” he added, “if my comments, either in their original form, or as repeated in other ways, have caused anyone discomfort, I regret that.” Matt Borges, the executive director of the state Republican Party, stoked the controversy when he was quoted in The Plain Dealer as saying that Mr. Preisse thought his comments to The Dispatch were off the record. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/23/us/politics/ohio-early-voting-battle-flares-after-racial-comment-by-republican-official.html?_r=0
