Liberal hate talker Mike Papantonio: GOP party of stupid racists

On Saturday, liberal hate talker Mike Papantonio - who happens to be a frequent contributor at MSNBC, said that the Republican Party is a party of stupid racists.  Papantonio specifically named Rush Limbaugh and conservative columnists Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter.

Newsbusters' Noel Sheppard posted his comments Tuesday morning:

MIKE PAPANTONIO: The message is clear. “We’ve moved out in the open right now. This is who we are. We don’t want minorities. We don’t want Jews, don’t even apply to our Party. We’ve given up on you. We want the NASCAR white guy, and that’s all we’re going to go after.” And that’s what their Party’s turning into. […]

Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, Limbaugh, they know what they stand for. These Republicans that think they’re going to change America in a positive way, let’s call it what it is: you’ve become, if you have one of those cards in your pocket, and you don’t tear it up, this is what you are. You are a dinosaur racist who simply doesn’t have the intellect, doesn’t have the capability of changing with the times. You’re fearful of changing with the times. You don’t have the intellectual capacity to change with the times. It scares you that people are different and you don’t know what to do. And that’s why you are carrying that Republican card, because you are, in a sense, you’re a developmental dimwit.

And so you see what’s happening: your Party has become a Party of racists. Your Party has become a Party of anti-Semites. That’s what you are. So why do we kid ourselves anymore? I mean, if you’re carrying that card around, you know now what you stand for.

Sheppard notes that this is the kind of hate Papantonio spews every weekend.

In November, for example, Papantonio falsely claimed that the Koch brothers "bought" Herman Cain so they could "kill more people" with toxins.

Last February, he said elderly Tea Party activists should hurry up and die while filling in for Ed Schultz:

PAPANTONIO: That's what you have here. Look, here, let's not miss this, this is a generational war. You have students at universities that are showing up, you have these senile old boneheads that are ol-, I mean, check, look at the pictures, I don't even have to say, look at the pictures, Rich. Run any film, who is there for the teabaggers?! The people that are being paid for by the Koch brothers are there for the teabaggers, but take a look at the age discrepancy. They've used our school system. They've used our infrastructure. So the American Majority is busing these old feeble nuts to there and so they're called, do you realize there's, there's a, calling our teachers pigs. Calling our teachers pigs and the teachers take it and that's OK, that's what they oughta do because you know what? The more light you shine on these senile, look, you know (laughs) truthfully, they're the last days of their lives, they really are, these old, fuddie-duddies or curmudgeons are at the last days of the lives and you have students there that are in the protest that say, well look, we want to have the same thing you have. We would like to have infrastructure. We'd like to be able to educate our children. We'd like the same quality of life that we gave you. And unfortunately, you know, I guess the bad news is they're not moving through fast enough because we can keep people alive a long time with good medication. But that's who you have showing up as teabaggers.
