I do let those who call themselves right-wingers and also disavow racism off
the hook...they're not fully right-wing, and anyone can call himself or
herself a right-winger without in fact really being a true right-winger or
right-wing regarding a specific right-wing tenet.   These are the same sorts
of folks who listen to Rush Limbaugh, but are not above taking corporate
welfare for their businesses, accepting FEMA aid when their houses are
flooded, writing their congressman over proposed cuts in Social Security or
applying for college aid.  Most Americans are practicing liberals whatever
their claimed political stripe.

That said, racism is a core right-wing tenet...you can't be a racist and
still be a true leftist; it's an absurdism.  And, the aggregate right is
racist, no getting around it...that's simple empiricism.  Watched the 'Pug
Iowa caususes a few weeks back...the racism against the Mexicans was as
palpable as it was sickening...Tancredo the Creep himself showed up wearing
full bigot regalia.
