 True, but the vast majority of racists are KKKon$ervatives, and the vast 
 majority of liberals are not racists.

 Long, long ago, the bigots in the South were the Democrats - but that was

 I really am not sure whether or not he is racist, but ANY racist is NOT a 
 true liberal, no matter what his claimed political affiliation.
