CNN

Shame on you CNN for posting this **Dallas Independent – thank goodness June 15th, 2009 10:48 am ET
How dare he shame that poor animal that cannot defend himself**

And you wonder why people of color still say that racism is not dead? When you still have people at this level being openly racist, what does that tell the local kid from the neighborhood?

Racism is not inherited, it's taught.

David,
they are not the same. Letterman is a comedian and not elected. He isn't supposed to be representing anyone. Comedians talk about everyone in the lime light. And making a joke about a promiscious daughter is different than making a racial slur.

Oh come on liberals, how about the Bush chimpanzee photos? How about the Palin bimbo slant employing hollowood actors to impersonate a candidate on national tv during an election race? Oh, I guess because she is black it is supposed to make it more offensive, it is all unacceptable and is all of the same level of ignorance and stupidity. Get over it, if you dish it out then get ready to lick the spoon, sometimes just being associated to the party gets mud all over ya!

Wow. At least the"Gorilla" has a brain unlike him. Honestly, what gives him the right to say such things...a man of his position and age. This just goes to show how many GOP racists there are, and i'm happy the people are seeing this. Its a shame they still cannot get over the fact Obama won, and a man of color is in the White House finally.

These attacks on Obamas family need to stop. The GOP has been doing this since the campaigns were popular with Obama.

Not sorry enough scumbag – time for you to a resign!

Moron yes, representative of Republicans, no more than Jeremiah Wright is of Democrats. This is a small time hack in a small state who is called a "GOP activist". He's not an elected official, he' s a racist hick.

I am sick of these comments (all of them). We as Americans need
to take a good look at self. These comments are not funny and CNN
need not post them. The world is changing for those who dont want
to change an turn the page. Keep living in the pass because the pass
will keep you sickl

Anyone who supports this person's statement is also a biggot. He should be removed from office and not allowed to have his pension for the comments. This person is just like Rush, Chaney, Rove and the rest of them. BIGGEST SORE LOOSERS and BIGGOTS in the history of the USA!

This man should be removed from office. No matter what his personal opinion of the Obama's is he should show the respect our president and first lady deserve and respect for the office of president. We are blessed for the first time in 8 years with a president and first lady that we can be proud of internationally and can finally admit when traveling abroad that we are Americans. For years we had to cower in shame when abroad and say we were Canadian because we were ashamed of George. Michelle is a classy well educated woman that I for one am proud to have represent my country. This moron that spoke out is a racist pig. By the way I am white and a former lifelong republican that switched parties because of George and people like this. Im proud to now call myself a democrat

This man should not resign. Much to the contrary. This man should be given a greater forum through which to express his views.....this is the only way that the global media will continue to reveal to the world the truths of Conservatives and Republicans in the United States.

The news reels of Palin’s Christ Trailer Park Nazi Rallies are getting dusty....

You gotta love those GOP jokesters. Apparently Mr. Depass didn't get the memo from GOP Chairman Michael Steele that racist jokes are no longer part of the accepable stragegy (see Wikipedia "Southern strategy") to expand the base.

What a hoot!

Well these are your folks GOP...what ya gonna do bout em? Nothing because that's who you are!

Yes, Republicans, David Letterman was out of bounds with the joke concerning Palins' daughter. This person is also out of bounds.

There needs to be a "Geneva Convention" for political activity and commentary!! There needs to be an agreement that political figures families are off limits! Commenting about a persons heritage, ethnic/racial origin, religious affiliation and sexual orientation should be off limits as well.

Let's talk about the real problems that face the world!

This is a vile remark, and he should forfeit his right to hold office. C'mon Obama, he insulted your beautiful, intellegent, compassionate wife–make his publicly accountable. Say to his face publicly that he is a racist ignoramus and that he has no right to walk the halls of the capitol.

To the SC republican who made the remark–keep showing the world what the GOP is really made of – diversity will only grow stronger over the next 2-4 years. You will lose seats in 2010, and you will not regain the WH in 2012.

He's sorry he exposed what he really believes.

i bet he would not call her a gorilla to her face or any other black person for that matter cause he would definitly get the crap kicked out of him!!

God Bless President Obama, VP Biden, the First Families and "Bo"

TO: FedUp, Loup Garou782,Sifto77,DallasIndependent-thankgoodness,HenryMiller,YoungConservativefromNJiswin:

You all are so ignorant but you think you are so smart. Racism with idiots like you, can never be cured because you never even pick up a book to read about your ignorant ancestors and the cruel things that they did in the past. You would not know that southern whites used the lie "Blacks are from apes and therefore cannot learn" as a reason to defend and justify slavery from the beginning to the end of slavery as an institution in this country. That's what makes this comment a racist and cruel comment. You live in this country and say you love it but you are too stupid to get a real education about how it was really built to what it is today. If the Obama kids turn into trash and get pregnant at 16, well then talk about them... they would be fair game to commentary. But they haven't and so you defend this idiot because of your blind allegiance to a backwoods party.

This is all about thinking about what you are saying before you say it. Is it racist? Will it hurt someone? This guy, Letterman, Imus even some of the inappropriate coments I see on the CNN comment cards by both liberals and conservatives. We have to stop being so nasty. We have to focus on issues, debate issues rather than attacking each other.

Just another example of the hate generated by the party of NO. Just think back to the last presidential campaign when similar remarks were encouraged by the Republican candidates. If this is an example of family values, I'll pass.

This is all they have to do or going for them so they contiunue make racist remarks then come back a secoind round maybe we should have kept that prison just for people like this as its past free speech t his is spreading racist hate .

Im so sick and tired of all of these southern white right wing nuts keep thinking that all of the black ethnic group comes from apes or monkeys. One more thing , if they are the Christians that think they are they should already know that we are the creations from one GOD. So If they think that we came from a ape or monkey, so did they.

Hows that tourism thing for South Carolina working for you?I dont see people lined up to visit that state soon.

Ha ha. If you look at her features, the way her eyes are sort of close together and the position of her nose in relation to her mouth and jawline she does sort of resemble a chimp maybe but not as much a gorilla. Her teeth are big and white too. Definitely some primate features there. Hey, chimps are cute so don't complain. And don't call me racist either, people call me horsefaced sometimes because my face is longish and I'm not particularly handsome. Life goes on.

Confederate Flag still at the South Carolina state Capitol; Sanford pushing back against 700 million for education; GOP state party leader is menber of all white country club; U S Senators DeMint trying to be Strom Thurmond; Only state to refuse to honor MLK holiday; high unemployment and poorest state in the nation; welfare state in terms of taking more federal aid than it pays in taxes; reactionaries to new arrivals in the state of educated retirees from new england; poor roads; welfare to individuals deemed bad, but welfare to good old boys ok; corp subsisty for tabacco; milk parity for farmers; tax breaks for businesses;

With a broken public education system populated by minorities and the whites utilizing private schools all the way up to BO JO what can you expect from an uneducated, low IQ segement of the state.

ah, the Republican party...keeping racism alive and well in this country!

He just proves the racism and bigotry in the GOP. And then he tried to clean up by saying that she said we were all from ape decendent. He was being racist with his comment and Michelle was trying to make a point.

This is the reason why the GOP has never had enough black support and has lost , most of the Hispanics support. People like him is the reason why the cons lost and will continue to lose with this mind frame!!

Fed Up June 15th, 2009 10:40 am ET

Oh come on wheres your sense of humor. It's ok to make bad jokes about Palin and her kids, but not Michelle Obama??
____________________________________________________

Are you seriously equating a JOKE about a young adult's very promiscuous sexual behavior by a COMEDIAN and a racial slur against Michelle Obama by a POLITICIAN? Are you really that "simple"??

The REAL problem is there is still a population of the white race who feign indignation and offense at every turn and holler "reverse-racism" from the highest peaks, yet lack the brains to understand true bigotry and prejudice – the kind they have been displaying in this country for CENTURIES. The kind that rationalizes lynchings and murders. The kind that cannot accept anyone with God-given skin pigment as equal.

I could go into more detail, but suffice to say – your kind is thankfully going away ...and your children and grand-children are growing up idolizing blacks – nice, eh!

Look – I'm an Independant voter, and maybe that gives me some perspective that leaves my political affiliation out of the mix – but in reading the posts here – many of you sound no better than him. Maybe this man IS a racist who HAPPENS to be a Repulican from South Carolina – I have met many a Democrat who might have made the same remark. I should also mention, for transparency, I am black. Painting all Republicans as racist, and all people from SC as ignorant rednecks, makes you just as, if not more racicist than this guy. Blame the man for what HE is, and not the party he belongs to or the state he happens to reside.

A true definition of classyness: Michelle Obama. Look how she's responded to this insult towards her. She responded with class as this politician's racist comment is not worth her time or energy.

A true definition of trashyness: Sarah Palin. Look how she responded to Dave Letterman, a man who is a comedian, not a official leader. She responded with a sensitive thin skin. Yes, as a parent, she has every right to respond, even though she has paraded her children around to her own benefit. It all just seems so hypocritical and dramatic.

KLK June 15th, 2009 10:47 am ET

White men from the South never cease to amaze me.
------------------------

I would like to point out the irony of your attacking somebody who stereotypes by using stereotypes. I am a white man from SC who thinks that this Republican should be removed from office. I don't think you are much better.

bottomline, Whether your white or black, his comment was RACIST!! He needs to resign. The heat needs to be turned up on this SOB racist GOP from South Carolina. Someone start a petition. We don't need these type of racist people in our country. As we know, the GOP doesn't like any minority groups such as Blacks, Latinos, Gays, Jews, Asians, Women of all cultures, and young people. Therefore the GOP are the new Nazis of the US.

Just more bigotry and hatred from the esteemed Right Wing Nut-jobs.

GOP: The party of Hatred, Discrimination and Hypocrisy.

Blue in maine June 15th, 2009 11:11 am ET
BTW Letterman's comments about Bristol and the Palins (though in poor taste and I don't suppoprt him here) was a slam on their behavior and not their identity.------------------

One comment is just as vile as the other. I fail to see the connection between their behavior and his comments? The target of hatred doesn’t determine if it is hatred- it is the intentions of the speaker.

David Letterman's remark about Palin's daughter was inappropriate, but he's a comedian – not a political official. If a comedian implied Mrs. Obama was apelike it would be merely distasteful. For a political official to do so in 2009 is absolutely reprehensible.

___

Has anyone else heard that A-Rod was dating one of Obama's daughters???

When this man passes on...I hope he finds that is maker is as Black as coal.

I am not supprised seeing that coming from a republican leader from the south. At least he has the courage to express what they all have in their heart in the south. HATE AND RACISM.

and this is why the GOP is a dying party . I'm white and this is uncalled for. it wasn't funny

I'm sure glad progressives set the hate bar sooo low over that last 8 years...

Where do you start with something this disgusting ? Apology ? Hell, he's blaming The First Lady – "Wah, wah, wah, she said it first, she said it first, wah, wah, wah" ! Good grief, have they no honor ?

You know, this only proves what I have thought all along. The Republicans are really not Americans first, they are Republicans first. When they are out office, which will be a regular situation in the future, as they make their way to the political bottom, no action, comment, nor insult of a leader of the party that is not Republican is too low for them.

Keep it up Republicans, please. You are in your death dive. Soon you will be The Third Party to the Libertarians.

Gee I am glad to see the lefties respond to some inappropriate comments. I agree, the comments are as offensive as David Lettermans, but wait, the lefties defened David Letterman, didn't they. Listen to them justifying the hatred they spew out in these posts. Liberals are sheer evil, they need to put down the bongs and stop waiting at the mailbox for their obama checks.

This knuckle-dragger did NOT apologize. He said "I'm sorry if my comments offended anyone." IF?? How about a *real* apology? Like "I'm sorry for the stupid, racist, offensive and completely inappropriate remark I made." Instead of the typical, political, pseudo-apology.

Of course, the irony of a simpleton GOP who likely doesn't even 'believe' in evolution making such a comment is, sadly, lost on the irony-challenged wingers.

African Americans have been called MONKEYS and GORILLAS since their luxury ride here to the USA – it's nothing NEW!!! But guess what??? Monkeys and gorillas are STILL around and not going anywhere!!! So get used to it.

This is NOT a "slip of the lips"!!! This has been going on for hundreds of years and it's "surfacing" more now because these type of people know they are a "DYING" race – There is NO MORE room left for them to be the CENTER OF ATTRACTION and it KILLS THEM to think that they are losing ground and can no longer be in CONTROL!!!

USA is CHANGING!!! It is CHANGE we can BELIEVE in!! If YOU are not ready to get on board, YOU will be left behind!!!

The Bible says that God FORMED man from the dust of the earth.
Darwinism == plagiarism.

One has to remember these people still thinks this is the 1960's......let's just say they are stuck on STUPID!!

No where does evolution say we descended from apes or monkeys. Evolution says, and has proven, that humans, apes, and monkeys have a common ancestor millions of years ago. If this GnOPer can't get that fact straight, how can he be trusted to get any other scientific fact straight? Or any fact straight for that matter?

Kevin in Austin,

Those muslims in Iran you say "wielding the batons and beating 24-year-old women who have done nothing wrong except to assemble and express an opinion" are the same group that Obama went to Cairo and said that we respect that.

I know its hard for dems and liberals, but try to be consistent.

An old southern white male making a racist comment? Never!

People are saying he should resign????? HAHAHA, should Letterman resign??? Wait, no, you liberals will find a way to twist what Letterman said...I love you guys, you make happy everyday knowing that I don't have to live a life of hypocrisy like you do.

No excuse, the man should resign. Just like David Letterman should be fired. Let's see what happens first.

A-Rod knocked up Sasha during the 7th inning of the Yankees games yesterday

young conservative from NJ is win – letterman is a comedian and this is an elected official, if you don't know the difference then you have a problem.

OK to call Bush a monkey. Not OK to call Obama a gorilla. Not that our progressively state run media has double standards or anything like that..

This is disgusting in this day and age for anyone in any part of hte country to make a comment like this. The South has made such grand progress in so many areas re: racism in the last 50 years, and for this jerk to make a comment like this just fuels all those old "southern" stereotypes, not to mention giving his whole party a collassal black eye.

Funny to hear liberals speak out against this but they werent saying anything about Letterman's comments. HYPOCRITES.

This has nothing to do with Palin you fools. This was racist and so is different than the joke made about Palin, which may have been inappropriate, but wasnt a flashback to 1870's

The party of old white men has struck again...the endless drum of hate speech makes the idiots feel empowered to voice their opinoins. It is time to start acting like adults, the example my children are seeing from our "leaders" is pathetic.

letterman has to apologize for the remarks he made, but the rethugs don't feel they need to apologize for this. the rethugs can say what they choose without engaging their brains. let's all say it together "double standards". the gop, still the party for racists, and breeders of hate.

This blows me away. Just goes to show that Racism is alive a well in the South.

@young conservative from NJ is win;

Newsflash; some Liberals finds the remarks on Gov. Palin's daughter offensive, rude and wrong, no matter what... I am a mother and I would not like it if was my own daughter, so I do incidently have feelings..... Not all Liberals are jerks and maybe all conserveatives are racist... I hope you understand what I said....

Michelle Obama is a woman with class, and Bristol and Willow are very beautiful young girls even though I am Not a Big Palin Fan... nuff said....

Come on CNN, wheres a profile of Michelle, we'll judge for ourselves..

When will it ever end? I am still waiting to be accepted and recoginzed as an American.

WOW This is about as degrading as you can get for him....The position of First Lady demands respect and we all need to remember that even if you do not care for that person.. I am sure she will handle it with the class she has handled other remaks...

Well..................MR. De Pass..................................................
You have gone and done the bidding of the hate mongers........
Hope you are VERY proud of yourself.

When someone speaks like this......anything good he/she might have done.......is in the past.

Since this Neanderthal (no offense intended to Neanderthals) probably does not believe in evolution his comment cannot be seen as anything but racist. I don't know about evolution.... but this guy's existance serves as an argument against intelligent design.

BTW Letterman's comments about Bristol and the Palins (though in poor taste and I don't suppoprt him here) was a slam on their behavior and not their identity.

What!? Has everyone suddenly stop believing in evolution?? At least he didn't ask her to bring the kids to a Yankee's game..

I pray that you reap what you sow.

So then I can safely generalize that ALL Democrats are pedophiles because they agree with Letterman's Palin comments . . .

AND THE GOP GOOD OLD WHITE BOYS WONDER WHY HATE IS SUCH AN ACTIVE WORD RIGHT NOW! never in my life have i heard so much hatred coming from a group of people calling themselves the party of the people.[republicans] glen beck,hannity ,palin,cheny,limbaugh.and all the other racist speaking on the air are an embarrassment to the world. i am just grateful that the only ones that listen to these dribling lies are the small group that already believes the smut. they are giving creedance to their nasty hatefilled ways as if it is okay to go out and blast anyone that believes differantly than themselves. THANK GOD most of us believe in our president and want peace for not only our nation but for the world. hopefully this group of evil thinkers will continue to shrink until there is nothing left but a bad memory of a nasty time gone by.

Some spots on some leopards simply just can never be completely hidden.....or changed......

The Bible says God created mankind. The S.C. Repub comments are way out of line.

Here in Georgia, we give thanks every morning that we were not born up there in S.C. where they live off roadkill and vote for whoever's on the ticket.

I thought that bible thumping hicks didn't believe in evolution. Have a nice day!

I thought conservatives didn't believe in evolution? At any rate, I think we have found the next Fox anchor.

This is the worst remark anyone can make about First Lady of United States of America. Don't these PEOPLE, i mean GOP (I am not a racist, whatsoever) think before they speak? Everytime they get to say what they want and then apologize later. Is that what they mean by free speech?

Apologize? The man should RESIGN whatever position he holds in the Republican party, go home and shut-up... and BTW, I'm a Republican.

why be "sorry" for saying how you honestly feel? now everyone know you for what you truly are and that a racist. simple as that. don't be sorry for who you are, i've learned recently that their are a lot of others just like you.

we maybe all are descendents of apes, but it seems a few of us haven't evolved yet, ...... Rusty

It's exactly what you'd expect to hear from an active member of the GOP from South Carolina .. the nation really doesn't expect to hear much in the way of intelligent comments emanatinting from any SC republican!

Seems to me that Republican leaders (sic) should engage their brain before opening their mouth and inserting the nearest dirty foot. If conscious and rational thought, along with some common, adult courtesy, were being applied, there would be no need for the continual, after-the-fact, apologies. Mrs. Obama is NOT an elected official. Even the Mafia agree that their family members are considered as non-combatants and are left out of the squabbles and posturing. She is owed more than an apology for this overtly racist blast from this redneck legislator. This continuing pattern of frustrated mud-slinging will keep the Republicans as the out-of-power, extremist political party.

The question is: What would prompt a public official to say somethig like this without provication?

"RACISM"

If laughed at this, then you should ask yourself why. Would it be just as funny if that was said about your mother?

Idiot!!! What good is the republican party? They are just sad because they lost the White House. I am so glad that "The Mavericks" are not in there.

Truly sick behavior by the Rethuglican activist (former head of the state election commission). This party can't seem to find its way into the 21st century!

Maybe this guy can go onto the David Letterman show and start a support group for people who make inappropriate comments and jokes. Why can't people debate political issues without insulting each other? There are merits on both Republican and Democratic positions but somehow it all gets lost when people are nasty and inappropriate towards each other. Very sad.

This is very common to hear from republicans, they look every day more alike to nazis. Don't be surprise if the party itself embraces white supremacist views.

Well, wait a minute; I think they already have done it.

This guy needs to be voted out of office!!!!! I am a WHITE MAN and I hate this type of GOP RACISIM!!!! This is a sign of the ugliness that still exists in the South. I live in GEORIA and see it everyday! The Christian GOP is still as mean-spirited as ever!

Unreal. This man should resign.

Typical and Expected.

MTTW-A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste...

The guy should leave office now.

It is extremly painful to learn that the author of the comment has apologized, makes me want to leave the Republican party. He had nothing to apologize for. It is just a problem for democrats that facts are always a problem for them.

If anyone looks like a gorilla it's this guy...he looks just like Snowflake the gorilla!!!!!

Aren't we all descended from the great apes? Including the "gentleman" from South Carolina?

The party of bigotry, racism, and class warfare out to prove their calling again!!! They just can't help themselves.

This is a comment made in jest? What can we expect from the man when he's not "joking?" This is a racist joke that he knew was wrong when he said it, but... it's better to sin now and repent later.

How can anyone condone these types of gestures? How can people respect anyone from the Republican party? It's this kind of nonsense that further detracts from their rolls.

You have to be a complete fool to make a comment like that and say it was "in jest"....everyone knows that when you mention Apes/Gorillas with African Americans you are being racist...

One more ugly, ignorant remark from some stupid, ignorant Republican.

Unreal... She is highly educated and an Attorney... She knows the meaning of "defamation of Character." She is quite popular, she is beautiful and she is well liked throughout the world. Anyone making a comment like that is a racist slur. It seems like the Good ol' boy network it shows ignorance and arrogant.

John McCain said the same thing about Chelsea Clinton, and you do know that they never reacted to that. It is so wrong.....

but guess what many of bloggers here will be making nasty remarks, just place your wife, husband or children in the path of racist remarks, how would you feel...

Oh yes, PLEASE right wing PLEASE come out and say this is NOT racist. This POS needs to be removed from office for hate speech and racist comments. Its a shame this country has SCUM like him in office, I for one am calling his office and letting him know what i think of him!

My, My–we do jump on people even if they apologize–when it involves MO. At least he did not launch vile language about her daughters..."she is fair game when she puts herself out in public" (quoting democrats)

I am deeply offended.

Just keep in mind the old and true saw: "All that glitters is not gold".

Sounds like the "old" south to me!! Get a grip old man...this is not funny!! If you don't believe me try to run for an office and see how far you get!!

And then, the right wing states that they got nothing to do with spike in radical views within our country. They throw stuff like this around and then apologize after the damage is done. What a sad, sad state of affairs is to have a so-called representative of our people, show his true, evil self. Cheney, Limbaugh, OReilly, Hannity, Steele, Cantor... let the list continue. Good for us they are no longer in power, sad for us that somebody still give them a microphone.
Before you crucify me with your views, I am a centrist and despise both extremes. I just find lately that the right has not change to our times, they are still leaving in the late 60's.

Hey Rusty! You don't "jest" about racism. Your comment, which belies your intellect, is despicable. Just one more reason the GOP is going DOWN.

And so a Republican reveals his true bigotted prejudiced colors. I'm white and this Republican disgusts me.

ONCE again a REPUBLICAN proves that the GOP are nothing but BIGGOTS! Enough of the White, Straight “Christian” man!

Republicans have simply lost their minds.

How dare he shame that poor animal that cannot defend himself.

The gorillas and humans do share a common, if remote, ancestry. What's the problem? (Unless you're one of those bible-thumping nuts dumb enough to believe that some mythical, mystical, grand high poobah actually built the universe in a week, or something equally silly.)

White men from the South never cease to amaze me.

Amazing. Rusty DePass is a loser.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the GOP of the 21st century...

These people are very ignorant and jealous of the Obamas' so expect anything from these simpletons!!

What a moron comment from an elected official. With so much ammo to attack political beliefs why would anyone need to attack a political opponent, or his wife with personal slams. What the leftist press has done to Palin and her family is on about at the same level, I've never seen anything like what is happening in our country before. I for one am sick of the personal attacks, attack the politics not the person!

Didn't Rush Limbaugh say that racism, intolerance and hate originate from a leftist point of view? Riiiight.

South Carolina...nuff said!

Typical republican politician.
Continue to give the voters more proof of your racism and stupidity.
Continue to lose any creditibility as a political party that represents our country and voters.
Continue to self destruct.

The GOP is full of kooks, my view is further justified by reading the anti-Obama comments on CNN's blog... kooky, kooky, kooky. Stay classy Republicans.

Every once in a while a Republican will slip up and say what they really feel. Then, oops, deny, deny, deny.

And people still debate whether the GOP is out of touch?

What? Another Southern racist, redneck, right-wing Republican referring to the First Family with a racial slur? That is almost as surprising as the sun rising in the east this morning.

What fine, fine people these self professed "Christian Conservatives" are.

What can you say, he's from South Carolina, his racism shouldn't come as a big shock. It's interesting that the Ticker article print currently doesn't show his name.

In one respect, he's the leading edge of the frenzied anti-Obama Republicans, and he felt confident enough to let slip how ALL of them feel. They are a hatred-fuel bunch, willing to destroy America for their agenda.

C'mon Limbaugh, time to come to his defense.

This pathetic excuse for a excuse for a politician gives credence to the fact all men are not created equal.

And I bet all the libs will come on here and talk about how awful the comment is, but it was perfectly ok for David Letterman to talk about Palin's daughter the way he did (and I AM referring to the 18 year old).

In my opinion, families need to stay out of politics... period. There's nothing more to it than that.

Jealousy....Jelousy.....Jelousy!!

Oh come on wheres your sense of humor. It's ok to make bad jokes about Palin and her kids, but not Michelle Obama??

Any doubts that racism is prevalent among the Republicans?????????

FYI : GOP, we ALL evolved from apes!

The GOP are showing their true colors.

A Republican saying something racist? WOW... It's almost like saying "the sun came up today"...

The few radicals that are left in what remains of the GOP are becoming more and more un-hinged.

This hick isn't sorry about what he said... he is sorry that he was stupid enough to say it out loud!

GOP = Racist Regime

And you wonder why people go out and shoot innocent people in museums. Racist like this scumbag are the reason why.

You sure are sorry!

Well well, if he believes in evolution he is a monkey too, what a
childish remark to make, no wonder we are in the trouble we are in and you would know it would come from a republican, he needs to go back where ever he came from

If this guy lived in Iran, he'd be the one wielding the batons and beating 24-year-old women who have done nothing wrong except to assemble and express an opinion.

What a knuckle-dragger.
