In “How the GOP became the white supremacy party — and got away with it,” writer Chauncey DeVega goes full smear-job on Paul Ryan and the other “racial political arsonists” in the GOP. A few gems from the Salon piece:
Paul Ryan is the leader of a political party that is the country’s premier white identity organization.
* * *
Paul Ryan traffics in racism because the Republican Party is a racist organization.
* * *
Instead of trying to figure out “if” Paul Ryan is a racist, the more revealing question is “what type of racist is he?”
Townhall editor Katie Pavlich and others noted a name that was mysteriously absent from the tiresome tirade: Robert Byrd.
Amazing how @Salon dubs the GOP as "white supremacist party," forgetting KKK member Sen. Robert Byrd, who Clinton defended, was a Democrat

According to @Salon, Paul Ryan is a white supremacist, but for some weird reason don't mention *actual* white supremacist & Dem Robert Byrd

Perfect example: Robert Byrd. Oh…Wait… MT @Salon: How the GOP became the white supremacy party — and got away with it

More reaction:
Also a Democrat who literally tried to block desegregation of schools “@AllianceCMattox: @KatiePavlich @Salon don't forget Gov Wallace.”

@KatiePavlich @Salon didn't mention racist Dem Al Gore Sr.+ Sen. Fulbright, Bill Clinton's idol, both voted against Civil Rights Act.
