GOP chairman tries out new pitch for wooing African Americans and Latinos

Let's call them idiots for voting for Obama. They'll love that." Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus a short time ago at the RNC's winter meeting engaging in a little bit of what he thinks is voter outreach:
Priebus directs words to Pres. Obama, notes 'Hispanics and African Americans, who have struggled disproportionately in the Obama economy.'
' @ByronYork via HootSuite Here's a newsflash, Reince: While it's true the African Americans and Latinos are have a disproportionate share of economic struggles, that's not exactly a new development. Yes, it's a major problem, but it's a problem with a long history and over the years, Republican policies have tended to make it worse rather than better. Blaming it on President Obama doesn't make Republicans look compassionate. It makes them look clueless'and willfully so. If they want to keep on losing elections like the last one, this is exactly the kind of thing they should keep on saying.
