SC Dem chair resigns after "send Nikki Haley back to wherever the hell she came from" remark
Dick Harpootlian, the chair of the South Carolina Democratic Party, resigned on Saturday. As Politico reports:
South Carolina Democratic Chairman Dick Harpootlian, imploring party activists Friday night to defeat this state’s Indian-American governor, predicted next year’s Democratic standard-bearer would “send Nikki Haley back to wherever the hell she came from.â€
Haley was raised in South Carolina and attended college here, but her parents were Sikh immigrants.
Harpootlian, a longtime Democratic figure who has a history of using harsh rhetoric, made the comments at the party’s Jefferson-Jackson dinner just moments before Vice-President Joe Biden took the stage.
Asked what he meant by comment, Harpootlian wrote in an email: “Lexington County.â€
Before being elected governor in 2010, Haley lived in the suburban Columbia county and represented the area in the state House.
As to whether he thought the comment could be seen as touching on her race and parents’ immigrant status, Harpootlian responded: “No, she was born in Bamberg (South Carolina) and lived in Lexington. Anybody implying anything different is attempting to feign insult.â€
The article by Jonathan Martin concludes:
As was long planned, Harpootlian stepped down from his post Saturday. He was replaced by Jaime Harrison, who became the first African-American party chair in a state with an ugly racial past.
Never mind this statement was pointedly about an election, even with the awkward phrasing, once again the Politico.com comments section is full of the typical right wing drivel response that the media expected. Ugh. I've heard this "go back to where you came from" comment from birther types directed at Obama. Harpootlian probably knows that too. Why'd he use that language then?

Only one DUmmy has bothered to reply to the OP. To condemn the racist Harpootlian? No, to make excuses for him.

1. I agree. A poor choice of words.
An apology can never hurt in a situation like this, but I wouldn't even say he has to make one. My mom is from Asia and if someone made that comment about me, I wouldn't think he wanted to send me to Japan. Um...I'm not from Japan. I feel sorry for anyone who makes a non-PC statement by accident when they really would never ever do it on purpose. He should not have to lose his job. Good grief.
Oops, I might have to take this one back. Harpootlian now says that what he meant when he said that Haley should be sent back to wherever the hell she came from is that she should be sent back to work in a dress shop.

Yes, that's much better Harpootlian, go with sexism instead of racism.
I am not fooled, it's racist and sexist.
More fun facts about Harpootlian.
He's homophobic:
What? You forgot that, huh? That little moment back in 2002 when Lindsey Graham was running against former College of Charleston President Alex Sanders for Strom Thurmond's U.S. Senate seat, and Harpootlian decided to crack all wise and get a dig in at Lindsey, proclaiming that Graham was "a little too light in the loafers to fill Strom Thurmond's shoes." It was an ugly comment then, and it's an ugly comment now.

Racism, sexism, homophobia. It's not hate speech if it's directed at a republican.

No worries, DUmb****s. What he "really" meant to say was she needs to take her split tail back to the dress shop.

Indian-American daughter of Sikh immigrants
Far preferable to a jug-eared muslim, son of a Kenyan communist and his white slut shackup.

Their hypocrisy is beyond belief.
Well guess what DUmmies, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Freaking assholes..

Leftists hate it when their own tactics are used against them. I'm guessing that this is not fair to level the playing field.
Before the last 7 years I just thought that leftists were idiots, now I see they are malevolent asses that bring nothing but misery and death.
-
Yeps. That's exactly how they are. Malevolent and wishing death and misery.
If they're not happy, no one else should be either.

I wonder what the DUmmie dick choppers, especially PhDD Alexandra, has to say about this democrat misygonist trash?
Hmmmm, seems their silence is consent...

The Democrat party is dying in S.C.. The local democrat party is chaired by a dingbat, moonbat, crazy as hell, cheating black woman and a transgender male2female. At their last meeting there must have been less than a dozen people there...... :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
It's a far cry from the 50/60/70's when there were nothing but democrats to choose from in my county elections. The democrat primary was my local election.....Now we're pro-choice, so to speak.... :lmao:

Never mind the fact that literally any time a conservative says anything remotely critical about the Obamas, the DUmmies and other far- leftists openly accuse that person of being a racist using secret 'Dog whistle' slurs to attack them based solely on their race.

Yep, just tell some democrat that you once had a black dog and they will start foaming at the mouth while screaming about you making a racist comment on Obama's skin color and like of dog meat.

Almost like they don't give a damn. :whatever:

Such bigoted racists the Dems are. :mental:
