Idiot Republican Calls Obama A Raghead
By Wyatt Earp | June 5, 2010
This fat bastard is South Carolina State Senator Jake Knotts. Knotts, a Republican is not a big fan of President Obama. He is also not a fan of fellow GOP Representative Nikki Haley, and not a big fan of people of Indian descent.
He is, however, a big fan of racist rants . . . and key lime pie.
COLUMBIA, S.C.– A South Carolina lawmaker on Thursday called a Republican gubernatorial candidate of Indian descent a “raghead,” saying we have one in the White House, we don’t need one in the governor’s mansion.
Republican state Sen. Jake Knotts later apologized for the slur, saying the remarks about President Barack Obama and state Rep. Nikki Haley were meant as a joke. Haley, born in Bamberg, S.C., is the daughter of immigrants from India.
Knotts made his remark on an Internet political talk show, Pub Politics. Co-host Phil Bailey said Knotts said, “We’ve already got a raghead in the White House, we don’t need another raghead in the governor’s mansion.”
First of all, Obama is not a Muslim. I cannot repeat that enough, people. Secondly, Haley is not a Muslim, either, she’s a Methodist. And finally, I think it’s clear why Knotts hates Haley: it’s because a morbidly obese tool like him would have no shot at such an attractive woman.
Thanks, Jake. Liberals already think the South is full of racist scumbags, and your comments are confirming their suspicions! Jackass.

I would think about another gov in the South, Bobby Jindal, before I would go on a rant about people of Indian heritaqe. I hope thats the kinda of Indian you meant and not a native American, which would work as well, I suppose. Need to get past that shit someday.

tjbbpgobIII – That’s the problem. I don’t believe that Jake Knotts ever thinks before he speaks.

I lived in the Midlands area near Columbia,S.C. and sadly there are a lot of tools like Jake Knotts there.But the good people out number them.But then the tools get the press coverage.

Rick – It’s like everywhere else. The idiots get noticed and the good people pay the price for the morons.

The fact is Haley is the leader in the polls here in SC. This idiot does not represent the vast majority here. Btw, coming from the north, migrating slowly over 30 odd years, it is my humble opinion there are racists everywhere and of all different skin pigmentation.
Fortunately, most of us, north and south, base our opinions on the individual and his or her particular behavior.

I like key lime pie, too.
Maybe it’s just me, but this guy looks like what I always thought a Mississippi Klansman would look like. Just missing the sheet and fat cigar. Yep, peckerwoods like this gives Southerners a bad name.

Kate – Peckerwoods. That is such a fantastic word!

He looks like an extra from The Dukes of Hazzard.

Memo to Jake Knotts: Please, dude, get the fuck off my side.

It’s also worth mentioning that Sikhs and Mulsims historically do not get along.
June 6th, 2010 at 2:38 am
What a moron. And Fenway we have the largest population of Sikhs in the US about 50 miles from here. I was at a construction project once when a guy called one the incorrect religion and we nearly had a murder right there. Idiots should just keep their mouths shut.

There is something about South Carolina that seems to bring out the best in people. From the lovelorn Viagra fueled governor to the well bedded candidate, to the fat repellent rodents who inhabit it’s local government, this is a state which will probably welcome the coming oilpocalypse as a feature, not a bug.

Mrs. Crankipants – Paging Sorrell Booke!
AD – I second that emotion!
Fenway_Nation – Which one of those was Mola Ram?
Ingineer66 – Yeah, you can’t go wrong with the occasional silence.
Kap49 – To the many golf courses where Tiger plowed women he didn’t love . . .

I saw Bozo the Knotts last Thursday while downtown for my son’s graduation. He was at an outside bar in a section of town called the Vista. The man is a true turd who gives South Carolinians a bad name. How he stays in office in Lexington County is WAY beyond me. BTW, I’m voting for Nikki Haley in the primary.

Haley is smokin’ hot. And no, we have a shithead in the White House, not a raghead.
Yeah, we Southerners really need this idiot.
