The first sentence says "....and arguably racist..." I see nothing racist about what he said, it was just rude.

While maybe not racist, you can bet if someone in the GOP said that about a Hispanic Dem, it would no doubt be said to be racist.

I dont know if race was part of this statement, but it was obviously rude and uncalled for.

It might not be racist in general, but you can bet that in reference to Nikki Haley it was intended to be. If it were up to me, that chairman would be fired pronto.

We already had a thread on this, in which the righties insisted that this one individual clearly represents all liberals, and also conveniently ignored my post which said exactly what I just posted above, all so that they could post that liberals all defend that racist comment.

Bet they do it again on this thread.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Whenever ANYBODY disagrees with Obama they are called racists.

When the black female from the UN spoke about Benghazi, and she was questioned on the truthfulness of her statement, ALL we heard was racist, sexist.

When something is says anything about Hillary, they are called racists. etc., etc., etc.

Why?? If a Republican had ever said that about a Democrat she'd be a national hero. The right would say she was "telling it like it is" and if anybody on the left complained the right would say it's because we "can't handle the truth"

I almost didn't click on this thread because it's one of those headlines that says nothing about the topic. Usually I tend to figure that if the OP is not smart enough to come up with a headline that gives at least a vague hint as to topic, the thread can't be worth reading.

Anyway Dick Harpootlian is a huge icon in Dem circles, and it's going to be interesting to see if and how he is held to account by the party.

If Priebus is smart, and I think he is, he will start cooking up the 2014 ads about this today, and make sure that every last low-info-voter in the land hears about it.
