Liberal Super PAC Sends Racist Tweet About Mitch McConnell’s Chinese Wife, page 1

Here's the content of the tweet:
Absolutely disgusting. Liberals, Progressives and Leftists have spent decades trying to combat assumptions based on race and here is this guy going whole hog racist. I can't claim to like what she did as Bush's Labor Secretary however that has to do with the sell out of America by Corporations and the Politicians they buy (both party's) and nothing to do with her being Chinese.
It's an assumption that an immigrant can't be loyal to their new home country. That's the same assbaggery the Right have been using for years to make immigration into the US harder and harder. This isn't acceptable.
A liberal super PAC in Kentucky is on the defensive after recently sending a racist tweet attacking Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) wife for being Chinese.
McConnell, running for reelection in 2014, is married to former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, who was born in Taiwan after her family fled mainland China during the Chinese Civil War. One super PAC dedicated to defeating McConnell, Progress Kentucky, has spent months relentlessly hammering the Republican on outsourcing.
However, on February 14, they took the matter a step further and sent the following tweet impugning McConnell’s wife’s heritage as an explanation for why Kentucky jobs have been outsourced.
Here's the content of the tweet:
Progress Kentucky @ProgressKy
This woman has the ear of @McConnellPress -- she's his #wife. May explain why your job moved to #China!

No but the tweet has her picture and implies that heritage has everything to do with jobs going to China when there's plenty of Americans ensuring that happens.

Yeah that's a pretty big leap in calling it racist. It has more to do with her former job than her heritage.

Agreed! The problem is, that it seems politically correct for the progressives to use the race card when defending their current POTUS!
My bad, I am not supposed to point out the hypocracy of the whole bi partisan mind control, and their goal to divide and conquer..........................
Back to my time out corner..........
This is not an right vs left thing. Racism shows up all over. It's beneath our society. We should be beyond this ridiculous thinking!

Liberals are not trying to combat racism or any other ism. They are simply fishing for votes, talking out both sides of their mouths. They have set the cause of equality back further with their lies and absolute tripe.

Non-sense. Some Democrats may play lip service for votes but this is a very legitimate issue that many Liberals, Progressives and Leftists volunteer their time toward.

You're right, sorry I was looking at another article on this topic.
But I maintain my opinion that there's emphasis on her race as a factor, when in reality she's just another in a long line that have sold out America.

Or some people just actually care and can't stand hypocrisy most especially when coming from the same general area you stand in.
Some people just want to jump the gun and run to racism. Usually those people are closet racists themselves.
