GOP governor candidate calls Obama a 'Sambo,' Pelosi a 'bimbo'
Edited on Wed May-11-11 02:57 PM by Adenoid_Hynkel
Former Del. Larry Faircloth, whose website says he's a "24 year veteran member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, where he served on the following committees: Judiciary, Finance, Rules, Special Investigations, Government Organization, Rule-Making, and Banking/Insurance."
Even the local teabaggers think he went to far. Like all Republicans, he aint apologizing and is stickin' to his conservative princ'puls:
Faircloth referred to Pelosi as a "bimbo."
"Is she not one?" Faircloth said in a Tuesday evening telephone interview. "I mean, a lot of people think she is a bimbo; that's why they replaced Congress with Republicans, and they removed her as speaker. I don't find that as anything different than a political poke at her."
He also referred to Obama as a "Sambo," a term many consider racist.
"It was meant to be a joke, and if they took it different, I told the people there that I apologized," Faircloth said.
He added, "We've been tiptoeing around the president."

1. It was meant to be a JOKE?
Oh fer crissakes.
I guess we don't have a sense of humor then.
I sometimes wonder just where these folks come from. I mean, really.
Unlike all the racist terms used by the left towards conservative minorities?

4. You know, you can not like someone and still find non-sexist/non-racist words to describe them
And yes, sometimes our country is way too politically correct but words like "Bimbo" and "Sambo" are clearly sexist/racist.
Pot, meet kettle.

11. The fact this guy even knows the term "sambo" and what it means, says alot.
It has no meaning/use outside of hardcore racist circles. It's a relic of 19th century minstrel shows.
So is Aunt Jemima, house negro and Uncle Tom, but that doesn't stop you DUmmies from using those terms.

15. "If they took it different"
IF?
Shoot this mother****er on sight and if he takes it differently then he doesn't have to die.
BTW, you piece of asshole white trash, it's "differently" you ignorant bitch.
I had to say it and I hope many get to read it before the mods remove my post.
The mods will remove it, I'm sure, but not before allowing people to see it and agree it with it.
I always thought "white trash" was racist, myself.

Everything I know about racism, I learned from Senator Byrd.

Grammar lessons from DUmmies. That is rich.
It is good to know they are upset with the word "bimbo" or other sexist terms. Sarah Palin will appreciate their new found concern. ::)

Reading comprehension. Not a DU long suit, even for their own posts.

I am truly sorry to all the Bimbos of the world for comparing them to Nanzi Pelosi and My friend Sam never minds when we call him Sambo or the Samster.

Little Black Sambo is still very popular in Japan. They have dolls, logos, etc., with the Sambo image in lots of places. He's like Hello Kitty.
On the other hand, Japanese culture is in a lot of ways far more racist than most Westerners could ever believe.

They did. But the inhuman primitive doesn't stop.

There is no other viable alternative.

Probably a little before your time. Heck, it is well before my time, but I've heard of it.

Controversy
The book has a controversial history. The original illustrations by Bannerman showed a caricatured Southern Indian or Tamil child. The story may have contributed to the use of the word "sambo" as a racial slur. The book's success led to many pirated, inexpensive, widely available versions that incorporated popular stereotypes of "black" peoples. In 1932 Langston Hughes criticised Little Black Sambo as a typical "pickaninny" storybook which was hurtful to black children, and gradually the book disappeared from lists of recommended stories for children.

DUmmies are overreacting. No surprise.

Political Correctness has outlived its usefulness , if it ever had any.
Try finding a legal copy of Song of The South on DVD.

I saw them all over Turkey a few years back. Whole stalls in the market in Marmaris full of them.

This is the same group of people who celebrated racist slurs against Condi and Powell?
I don't really think this guy should be in higher office. He reminds me a Alan Greyson from the little bit I have read about him from the DUmp, which means I reserve the right to change my mind if the DUmp proves to be the liars they normally are. But obviously, this outrage rings hollow as the DUmp has some of the vilest racists on teh interwebz.

So I suppose according to DUmmies, I'm racist because I enjoy eating at Sambos everytime I'm in Santa Barbara?

Get it right DUmmies.
