33. Those Republicans didn't get the memo that it was racist code.
They meant black community organizers and wanted their audience to think of people like Malcom X, the Black Panthers, and all those other African Americans who scare them. They didn't mean white Christians. Too bad they couldn't really explain it better or more explicitly.
