No He clearly wasn't, but the media will jump on this for ratings. Race means more viewers watching, this has nothing to remotely do with what he said. If it did, they would play the comment on youtube and we'd see the true reaction in the house. Anyone, that took this comment to refer to black babies is a moron and they're truly the one's insulting black babies by even alleging, that he was talking about black babies. The problem as with many things is that they are saying this offended a group of people who cannot even utter a complete sentence. Hello, they are babies and I highly doubt they took offense to this comment. However, this is a ploy for the liberal white media to divide the country along racial lines and this also opens the door for their silly self appointed civil rights leaders to make a little more money polluting the air waves with non-sense. The local NAACP chapter needs to be smacked in the face for even playing into this media generated bs.

This will come down to imposing self interest on others. This is just the little flame on the fire they need to run out and try to muscle around a useless bit of power. I spoke to a few black babies this morning and they were more concerned with nap time, milk, teletubies, bed time stories, and fixing the public education system. They were the group least concerned with being called ugly.

Being called black and ugly is stopping them from?

Lobbying for the resignation of this Senator is helping their educational future how?

I agree let the voters decide to vote this guy out next election period. Take the issue to the people and stop attempting to lobby government for senseless bs like this at the expense of tax payers. The media should be crucified for this kind of crap! If you want them to stop doing this stop watching the TV when they attempt to divide the country!
