The GOP likely candidates are
fighting to out-bigot each other because our mainstream media won't call it what it is. I don't think the great guardians of our discourse are generally very good referees when it comes to racism and bigotry (and definitely not misogyny), but at least if someone important says something explicitly racist against African-Americans it has a reasonable chance of becoming a "controversy" (Trent Lott, Don Imus). But anti-Muslim bigotry gets a total free pass.
