The NAACP is easy to diss. They're NOTHING in Maine. What are they gonna do...threaten the state with a boycott? There aren't enough blacks in that state to make that stick.
I'm sure he was expecting something like that given their history of shakedowns of business and threats of boycott.
The "L" stands for liberal - NAALCP - because they really don't stand for conservative black people.
I get his point entirely, but you can't really hold this up as proof you aren't racist. I'm sure he isn't personally, but the I've got a black/gay/hispanic/insert x friend excuse doesn't really wash.
Oh? and playing the race card does "wash"
How is saying he will meet with ALL prisoners a racist attitude?
Only wanting him to meet with *black prisoners only* IS racist.
You think it's good for political leaders to be rude and crude? If Obama told a Republican to "kiss his butt", I imagine your reaction would be quite different.

No, instead he was looking for somebody's a** to kick.

At least LePage knew whose butt he was talking about and where it was located.
Of course LePage could have been more inventive in his response but for a 70K salary you don't get Harvard grads. At least we all know what the ME gov meant as opposed to some super slick lawyer politician who measures his words and calculates his sentences in a vortex of poetic license and interpretive phrases subject to reversal and appeal.
Good for LePage and ME. Maybe Susan and Olympia should take note as their republican coats turn dem when the legislative season rolls around.
At least the varying hares of Maine are well represented. Maine's republicans are our democrats maybe LePage will bring a vital genetic strain so desperately needed for Maine to not become Vermont or Mass.
