Reply #1: That is so true! Not onlly that..

.. but many Reeps and extreme rightwingers function
effectively as bullies; but when challenged or
debunked, they go victim and pretend that they
are being unjustly or unfairly attacked .. say, for
example, by someone playing the "race card."

Folks.. there is no such thing as a "race card."
Racism exists in the GOP and extremist rightwingers,
bigtime. It's as though the dark id of the
GOP and rightwing has a kind of uninhibited expression
now; and since they have their hatemedia mongers and
allies to incite, buttress, and back them up with
lies, hate, and misinformation, they feel as though
they can first bully and then play their own, heh heh,
victim card and milk it for all its worth.

Palin more or less developed it into an art, as I recall.
