Not my words but hers.

Since Wisconsin won't let Ieshuh Griffin put her campaign slogan, "NOT the white man's *****," on the ballot in her run for a seat in the state Assembly, she's looking for other megaphones.

BTW: She is a democrat but ran as an independent just so she could put the slogan on her ballot.

WATCH THIS CLIP IN THIS LINK!!!

You must watch Video in the link above to really hear what she says!!!

I think what is just as shocking is that there is people that like this woman's slogan and agree with her.

BTW: The people interview about the slogan live in Milwaukee's most granola liberal area "Riverwest" so it is not shocking that they would approve of it!

I'm surprised she hasn't gotten Tea Party sponsorship as she's wacky enough to get it.

But the Tea Party doesn't contain any black "Mama Grizzlies"

Again she was a liberal, and they found 4 people to endorse her in the most liberal area of Milw. Just going out on the limb here, but I am guessing they weren't part of the tea party.

That is hysterical!
I think I would vote for "new booty".
Clearly she is insane and too wacky to take seriously.

I have absolutely no problem with her slogan. She's also done a great job of getting publicity.

I know just a wonderful role model for our kids.

What would happen if someone had a slogan: "Not the blackman's Haunky."

or however it's spelled.
