can they keep the hate tamped down for 3 whole days or

it going to be hateapalooza? I'm pretty sure there's no way to keep the hate and racism of the tea party under wraps for that long. Of course, the MSM will aid the repubs in trying to cover it up, but still boozed up haters are going to vocalize their hate. They actually have given Donald Trump a platform. I expect some ugly stuff to come out- not that that's bad for dems, even if if it is bad for the country.

What do you think? Can the repubs avoid the convention looking like a hatefest?

Thing is, they don't know from hate. It's so ingrained, and most of these folks are so insulated, that they have few self-restraints on what they say and do. I think you can count on a hateapalooza.

via a Barrack Obama impersonator.

It wouldn't surprise me at all.

Trump has been almost giddy with excitement each time he 'hints' at the surprise he is preparing for the Regressive convention.

It wouldn't be a rethug/Conserv gathering without plenty of TP's from
Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and all the other RW Media Hatemongers.

How long from when the convention opening speaker opens his* pie hole does the first anti-Democratic Party or President Obama slur fly?

15 seconds
30 seconds
45 seconds
60 seconds

No way it's going to be longer than a minute imho.

* = in no way are the old white teabilly f*cksticks gonna allow a girl to talk and stuff to open their hate fest convention.

my advice would be to keep that shit contained in the hotels, porn/strip clubs and that convention center.

Not every one shares their twisted ideology.

Their policies show contempt for the working class.

It'll be fun to see how quickly that oozes out.

up their leg for the base but it won't fly with dems or independents. I think it will backfire. I hope.
