PORTLAND -- In a recent interview for HBO's "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel," Oregonian and infamous figure skater Tonya Harding lashed out about President Obama’s use of her name in a past speech.

Back when he was still on the campaign trail in 2007, Barack Obama talked about how the pundits said he should “knee cap her” or “do a Tonya Harding on the front runner,” referring to his main contender at the time, then U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton.

Sorry but if you don't want to be in the media then go home and shut up. She has done everything she can to parlay her 10 minutes of fame into a lifetime of fame. She should be glad he used her name like that, it might lift her up out of the scummy life she leads.

Sounds kind of racist, actually. I mean, if you said that in reference to someone who was black, it would be considered a slur against black people. So I'm going to declare that a slur against white people. Please give us free college educations now!

That bimbo is lucky to have stayed out of jail, she needs to find a hole to crawl in and stay there.

Actually the presumption that we get "free college Educations" is quite racist.

Tell you what, stop making ignorant statements and I'll give back all the free college money I ever received.
