'No use for them': Racial comments resurface from Obama housing pick

During an Oct. 14, 2005 hearing held by the National Commission on the Voting Rights Act, Watt reportedly said that a "substantial majority of white voters" would not vote for a black candidate under any circumstances.

Multiple attempts by FoxNews.com to obtain a transcript of the hearing from the National Commission on the Voting Rights Act were not successful.  But a report at the time by CNSNews.com quoted Watt saying the Voting Rights Act should be expanded and have districts changed to factor in race-based voting and help minority candidates.

He acknowledged "some" white people would support a black candidate, but said voters who refuse should be "factored out."

"I've got no use for them in the democratic process," he reportedly said.

Watt also claimed that black voters -- unlike white voters -- don't have "an absolute commitment" to voting for a candidate based on race.

He'll fit right in with the others who can't find their own asses with both hands or with everyone else's hands.

Oh, well now, that explains why 96 percent of whites voted for Romney?

Wait--I got that wrong.  Maybe it was the 96 percent of blacks that voted for Obama.  Damn, I's corn-fuzzed now...

To be fair, that should be the "dumbass from the Peoples Democratic Republic of Mecklenberg, located in North Carolina"
