To hear conservative radio host Laura Ingraham tell it, it has nothing to do with their support for liberal policies on issues like jobs, healthcare and education. Nor is it a reaction against the ugly racial rhetoric emanating from leading Republicans or the vile voter suppression measures pushed by the Republican Party. Instead, Ingraham asserted on her radio program today, black voters support Democratic candidates because Democrats wont allow the black population off the plantation.
Highlighting the case of an African-American pastor who alleges that the robbery of his church may be linked to his endorsement of Illinois GOP gubernatorial nominee Bruce Rauner, Ingraham decried what she depicted as Democrats demonization of African-Americans who stray from the liberal fold.
Look at what they did to Col. Alan West. Look at what they did to Justice Clarence Thomas, or tried to do. This is what they do, Ingraham argued.

(43,049 posts)welfare and other policies are keeping blacks down instead of helping. Ghettoizing the population they are.
As usual, if you look hard enough you can find some evidence, but this is a bullshit argument that should bew stomped on hard every time it comes up. The problem with that, though, is it takes some complicated explaining that most people aren't listening to.
Is there is quick phrase we can use to help counter this bullshit?

(10,893 posts)They merely give lip service to the issues of Blah people in hopes of fooling some swing voters into believing that they're tolerant. I've seen this movie play out far too often just in the past several years alone.
