Stupid Political Tricks


American politics keeps showing the class that we've come to expect:

With a bead of sweat rolling down the side of his face outside a Columbia bar, Republican S.C. Sen. Jake Knotts called Lexington Rep. Nikki Haley, an Indian-American Republican woman running for governor, a "raghead" several times while explaining how he believed she was hiding her true religion from voters.

"She's a f#!king raghead," Knotts said.

He later clarified his statement. He did not mean to use the F-word.

Knotts says he believed Haley has been set up by a network of Sikhs and was programmed to run for governor of South Carolina by outside influences in foreign countries. He claims she is hiding her religion and he wants the voters to know about it.

As Candace Chellew-Hodge notes at Religion Dispatches:

I had no idea that taking over South Carolina was on the Sikh agenda for world domination.

I suppose we should be surprised that a woman and ethnic minority is actually leading in the four-way Republican race for governor in South Carolina. But you know the Knotts-heads are lurking in the wings.

That's...interesting.
 
Assuming you mean the idiot DM instead of the idiot Knotts, it's not interesting, it's mindless spam that DM can't even bother to tailor to the posts he appends it to. I'm going to eliminate his stuff from now on ... unless I feel like mocking it.
