GOP Rep. Steve King (R-IA) thinks President Obama is a bigot who "favors the black person":

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) leveled a somewhat startling charge against President Barack Obama on Monday, saying the president instinctively "favors the black person."

King made the comments during an appearance on the G. Gordon Liddy radio show.

"When you look at this administration, I'm offended by Eric Holder and the president, also, their posture," King said, as captured by Media Matters.

With jokers like Steve King in their ranks, it's no surprise Republicans still haven't figured out to broaden their appeal beyond white voters. In 2008, for example, while President Obama was able to assemble a multiracial coalition in 2008 (60% of Obama voters were white), John McCain was almost completely dependent on support from white voters (just over 88% of his supporters were white).

You'd think Republicans would have learned a thing or two over the years, but they haven't. Even now, with the Southern strategy so obviously blowing up in their face, they don't know what to do other than get angry and say stupid things. It's a pathetic sight to behold, and until Republicans figure out how to deal with it, they won't be able to build a sustainable majority.
