Raghead, Towelhead. Same Diff.

See what having an *uppity* black man sitting in the Oval Office will do? Emboldens people to march for 'taking our country back,' challenging that firreener's birth status, turning an entire state into a Whites Only establishment, getting a famous US senatorial candidate to openly question that oh-so-silly rule about serving teh Blacks and teh Messicans in OUR restaurants. I mean, people get to question his intelligence without a single slice of evidence simply because he's... you know... doesn't have teh capasitee of the soopeareeor race.

And in one single sentence we get to defame not just one person and one entire religion, but two distinct people and two distinct religions (neither of which person practices either religion):

This evening in an interview with Pub Politics, state Sen. Jake Knotts (R-SC) — who is supporting a different candidate — slammed Haley by using a racial slur:

We already got one raghead in the White House, we don’t need a raghead in the governor’s mansion.
Nikki Haley is a Christian convert from the Sikh faith. Knotts - of Don fame, presumably - is a Beck convert from the Civil Rights ages. So that would presume why he thought his *joke* was *funny.*

But don't worry kids. The Republican Party of South Carolina is on it. They won't stand for such brazen racism in the age of Jan Brewer and Tea Parties!

The South Carolina Republican Party has issued a statement condemning Knott’s remarks, saying, “Senator Knotts should apologize for his inappropriate comments, so that we can put this unfortunate incident behind us and focus on issues important to moving our state forward.”

Oh, why even bother?
