Is the GOP a "White Supremicist" Party?

I repeatedly have been seeing this charge in the comments section of many left-wing editorials and blog posts, especially since the Ground Zero Mosque problem came into the National Awareness. While that fact that this claim is being made does not surprise me, it is not because I believe it to be true. I'm not surprised because I don't believe the Left has much ammo left in it's arsenal, and our society rightfully considers a charge of bigotry to be amongst the most damning.
What the left does not understand is that we on the right know our hearts. We know how much hate we feel towards members of other races, other religions, other beliefs than those we hold. And therein lies the problem for the left.
The problem is that, although there are prominently publicized exceptions, the overwhelming majority of the right knows that they hold NO CONTEMPT of any kind at another for the things we are assumed to. We do, on the other hand, hold great contempt for an accusation of racism falsely aimed at us. These most recent charges of bigotry surrounding the right will now be the straw that breaks the camel's back, resulting in massive gains in both the House and Senate come November.
But the right needs to devise a plan RIGHT NOW, TODAY, to address the concerns of those members of minority groups that also prefer smaller government and less intrusion into their lives. Candidates must universally understand that their candidacy is a contract with the GOP to go to every opportunity presented to them to make the case for traditional American values in venues attended by those who either disagree with us or do not understand what the right REALLY is all about.
