    Look at a crowd pic of any right wing gathering and see how many blacks, Hispanics or any other non-white persons are in it.

    The simple fact is that the right caters to older, white audiences and they are in the decline (non-white births in the US will outnumber white births by the end of the year).
    Couple the shrinking fan base with the muddle headed decision to "resist" the Census (which determines congressional redistricting) and you have a naturally decreasing voter base actively seeking to render themselves politically invisible.

    Not exactly genius level political strategy but probably the best the GOP could come up with in a LA strip club.
    LA strip club, eh?

    Some people will believe anything...

    Btw-

    What flavor kool-aid is that you're drinking?

    What does "belief" have to do with it?
    Are the charges by the GOP at the club in question?

    Don't know, but the majors' story that Michael Steele was on hand for the festivities sure is.

    I have not read, nor did I imply, that Steele was personally present.
    Who are "the majors" to whom you refer?

    It was apparently reported on the Big 3 and other cable nets.

    The story I saw on Fox was a refutation of this.

    Fox was apparently "refuting" a story that no one else had reported.
    None of the coverage I read said anything about Steele being personally involved.

    Fox is very good about slaying their straw men.

    Well, of course.

    But then, you only watch Fox, right?

    How would you know?

    Ya know, I actually did watch Fox two nights ago.
    Sean Hannity, in fact.

    I prepared by self-medicating my gag reflex into docility.

    His lead segment was the TERRIFYING SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER of the student loan business.
    Clearly, THE LIBERAL ELITE is attempting to resurrect the ELDERS OF ZION, who, having refreshed themselves on the BLOOD OF YOUR CHILDREN, will proceed to RUN THE WORLD to the RUIN OF THE COMMON WORKING FAMILY (who's tasty children are now gone, but...).

    I was exhausted within five minutes (also, the gag reflex was returning).

    Christ, he could make the weather terrifying..."Could tomorrow be THE RAINIEST DAY EVER!!??"
    "Tomorrow will be 75°, SHOULD YOU LET YOUR CHILDREN OUTSIDE?"
    "Sunset will be at 7:13 PM...WILL IT EVER RETURN?"

    He was fitfully amusing but ultimately too tiring to watch much.

    Why do you suppose Fox is so invested in winding up it's audience?

    I always give Hannity a miss.

    I never watch O'Reilly, either.

    I'd never have guessed what Hannity's show was about, but now I know, thanks to you.

    I honestly don't watch any of their evening schedule at all, so the joke is on you.

    It was a very cruel joke.
