Point out that the Republicans exploit and encouragement racism, and they will hold their hands over their ears while chanting 'na na na na na!' Because that doesn't help them feel good about themselves (or their moral superiority). It'd be nice if one could point to good things the Democrats do, but alas, the times, the mores. Nonetheless, the Democrats suck in exactly the percentage that they approach being Republicans.<br /><br />vs, I've posted another closeup of the Slimblebee™.
