McCaskill says Rep. Scott’s racism charge ‘irresponsible’

Sen. Claire McCaskill — who went through a pretty tough town hall herself today — told CNN tonight that it was “irresponsible” for Democratic Rep. David Scott to blame racism for some of the town hall anger across the nation.

“I think that is irresponsible to say,” McCaskill said on Anderson Cooper 360 Wednesday night. “There may be individual instances of that but there are a whole lot of people who are frustrated … but I’m not sure if it would be accurate to make that about race.”

Scott, who is black, had a fairly confrontational town hall earlier this week where he shouted back at a doctor in the audience who challenged him. The next day the sign for Scott’s Atlanta area office had a swastika painted on it.


WHEN A BLACK MAN…

FROM GEORGIA…

Gets a SWASTIKA painted on his office door…

and gets mail that calls him a NIGGA...

I think he knows RACISM when he sees it.

So, go somewhere and sit your ass on down.

Hell no…I don’t go for the okeydoke of racism only being valid when WHITE people think that it’s happened.

PHUCK THAT.

David Scott has been BLACK IN AMERICA longer than 3 weeks.

He KNOWS racism when he sees it.

And RACISM is all over this ‘protesting’ at town halls on healthcare.

Geography Fail
by Patrick Appel

This is amazing:

According to Public Policy Polling (PPP), a North Carolina polling firm, only 24% of self-identified Republican voters in the state believe Barack Obama was born in the United States. 47% do not believe that Obama is American born, and 29% of Republicans aren’t sure. One part of PPP’s data might reassure sentient readers somewhat: 7% of those who voted for John McCain do not believe Hawaii to be a part of the United States. Now perhaps this is just another irrational expression of Obama hatred. But, it may also be older voters who never quite absorbed the news that our 50th state is indeed our 50th state.
