North Carolina's Ballenger says he's had segregationist feelings
Following the example of their now-disgraced Senate Majority Leaders, Republican across the spectrum are beginning to open up about their feelings- and it ain't pretty.
Rep. Cass Ballenger told a newspaper he has had "segregationist feelings" himself after conflicts with a black colleague.
Ballenger, a North Carolina Republican, said former Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., so provoked him that "I must I admit I had segregationist feelings." "If I had to listen to her, I probably would have developed a little bit of a segregationist feeling," Ballenger told The Charlotte Observer in Friday's editions. "But I think everybody can look at my life and what I've done and say that's not true.
"I mean, she was such a bitch," he said.
McKinney, who lost her re-election bid, has an unpublished telephone number and could not be reached by The Associated Press early Friday for comment.
Indeed, why comment at all? I think McKinney wins simply by letting these comments speak for themselves. It is fun watching Republicans fall all over themselves in trying to prove that they're not racists. Perhaps if someone told these maroons that actions speak louder than words they'd stop embarrassing themselves.
Nah....
