Republican activist likens Michelle Obama's ancestors to gorillas

[likearock 2]

Unbelievable.

Anyone remember this?

And it's a big shock to the right wing when some people associate their views with racism.

Hahahaha. Funny, but if you are in politics you can't be sayin that shit. Shoulda had someone else say it instead.

The guy is a racist but not because of the political party he runs with.

Remind me again - WHICH party is it that basically tells minorities "you can't succeed without our help"?

First, the guy is nuts and the fact that he is nuts he could change his mind tomorrow and claim he is a Democrat or Libertarian. In other words, I wouldn't pay any attention to the nutjob who's talking to himself on the subway.

Second, According to Darwin all of our ancestors are gorillas, apes, monkeys, etc.

You want to stretch the definition of racism to include affirmative action? Fine. I'll take that kind of racism over a hate-filled shotgun blast any day of the week.

Maybe, he's just an evolutionist.
Seems to fit in perfectly with the liberal teaching.

Go look up any of Ted Rall's cartoons about Bush as a crazed chimp, or Condoleza Rice as a 'house nigger', then get back to me with your protests of them and I may have some sympathy.

If evolution is liberal teaching it must mean that neolithic mythology is conservative teaching.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.

>

Homo sapiens sapiens (us) direct ancestor is Australopithecus spp. not gorillas, apes, or monkeys.

The evolutionary lines between modern humans and gorillas, apes, monkeys, chimpanzees or bonobos split 5-7 million years ago.

The likening of black people to apes has been a fixture in one of the worst chapters of America's past. It has been used as a basis for slavery, lynchings, and other unspeakable acts of violence. More recently, von Brunn's cheering section has shown no qualms about using that comparison:

Quote

Yes, JVB only killed a stupid ape in a jewniform but it was for ALL white folk that he made this sacrifice.

Any cartoon showing Bush in an apelike way, though insulting and disrespectful, is nowhere near equivalent. If you can't see the distinction I guess your politics are a lot more extreme than I thought.

Common ancestry, not directly descended.

Not just America.

If I recall correctly, Karl Marx used such a slur to describe a candidate for office in Paris , who had some (I think it was about a quarter) african ancestry.

Really? Sounds like the guy's been a Republican all his life but yeah, I'm sure it's just a whim.

Uh, no. First, it's not 'according to Darwin', it's reality. Second, we're not descended from gorillas or monkeys and we actually are apes.

Not even that long ago either - fairly recently soccer teams in Spain were getting into trouble when their fans would make monkey or ape noises at opposing black players.

KMDIF - a new twist to a tried and true dodge.

It doesn't matter who else did it. Republicans shouldn't be making these kind of statements, especially not now.

Actually, this kind of statement is classless, and no one, Republocrat, Demolican, Libertarianist, or Communarian, should be making them. They add no substance to the debate.

Nothing a Republic-hole says surprises me. they're the White People's Partei and are currently undergoing an ideological purge to drive out their last voices of moderation. Soon only the purest blooded Aryan assholes will remain.

They're SO fuckin' stupid they don't even realize what a good looking woman the Firs Lady is.

But they're not as stupid as they're just plain EVIL.

White people's party? (see attached)

Yeah, he's REALLY a "purest blooded Aryan asshole", isn't he? He's the one that was called an "Oreo" by the oh-so-tolerant people that YOU align with - the same people that called Condoleezza Rice "Aunt Jemima" and "house nigger", and Colin Powell "Uncle Tom".

Using Internal Revenue Service data, the Heritage Foundation identified two categories of taxpayers - single filers with incomes of more than $100,000 and married filers with incomes of more than $200,000 - and combined them to discern where the wealthiest Americans live and who represents them.

Democrats now control the majority of the nation's wealthiest congressional jurisdictions. More than half of the wealthiest households are concentrated in the 18 states where Democrats control both Senate seats.

Looks like Democrats are becoming the party of the rich and successful. Interesting change.
