They don't even hide their racism anymore.

Ann Coulter is pushing hysteria about immigrants "raping their wimmenfolk."

And the GOP and Faux "news" want to bring back Jim Crow voting laws.

IA GOP Kingmaker Mickelson Wants To Bring Back Jim Crow-Era Voting Laws

Iowa radio host Jan Mickelson, the state's self-appointed vetter of GOP presidential candidates, recently told members of the League of Women Voters that it should be harder for people to vote, suggesting it be limited to state property owners or people who pass a civics test -- both of which were used to disenfranchise black voters and others in colonial America and the Jim Crow era.

On the June 4 broadcast of Mickelson in the Morning, Mickelson hosted two representatives of the League of Women Voters. During the discussion, Mickelson declared that unlike his guests, whose group works to register more Americans to vote, he is in "the voter repression business" and doesn't want people to vote "unless they agree" with him. He also suggested that in order to vote, Americans should have to pass a "civics test" to prove they're smart enough.

1. Coulter is flogging her new book, a long screed against all immigrants

including the legal ones, who the silly ass thinks are all nonwhite. Since the only ones she manages not to be blind to have more melanin than she does, they must be evil. She's hoping that since liberal bashing has failed to sell her last two books, maybe bigotry will be a better selling point. Sadly, she's probably correct about that, even if she did catch a clue fairly late in the game. If this had come out five years ago, it would have been a blockbuster of a book.

Expect everything out of her nasty piehole to be directed at people who were born elsewhere for the time being.

Also expect every tribe in the country to be hooking their thumbs at her and laughing their asses off at the spectacle of some skinny blonde yelling about immigration.

We all know they are all not that bright. They claim they know the constitution but the only amendment they know is the 2nd Because they are stupid about their gun rights.
