A Racist Republican From Kansas

The video speaks for itself.

Sog? J-douche?

Any comments about your friend?

Another day, another Republican official uses a racist term "from their youth" that hasn't been in use for decades.
County Commissioner Jim Gile, 68, of Saline County, Kansas, was in a study session with his fellow commissioners when the subject of hiring an architect to design the repairs for the county's Road and Bridge Department building came up.
Gile, a first-term commissioner who started serving in January, told the county that he preferred to hire an architect over having someone "nigger-rigging it."
The Salina Journal reports on what happened next:

His comment brought laughter from others in the room. Salinan Ray Hruska, who attends most commission meetings and study sessions, asked Gile what he said.
"Afro-Americanized," Gile replied.
"He's like that congressman from Alaska," Commission Chairman Randy Duncan can be heard to say of Gile's comment.
Duncan was referring to Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, who in a recent radio interview called Latino ranch workers at his father's farm "wetbacks."

And just like Rep. Young, Gile too later blamed his "bad choice of words" on having "grown up" around the term.
"I am not a prejudiced person," Gile said in his apology. "I have built Habitat homes for colored people."
He added that he has a close black friend "whom he regards as a sister."
Gile's bumbling attempt at setting the record straight might not be enough to keep calls for his resignation at bay.
Reached for comment by the Huffington Post, State Rep. J.R. Claeys, a Republican who represents Salina (Saline County's county seat), called out the County Commissioners for allowing the use of a term that is obviously discriminatory.

I think every citizen in our county should take a long, hard look at every individual in that room who allowed those comments to slide without immediately correcting and repudiating, not one, but multiple comments that are absolutely unacceptable in private, let alone a public meeting.

Well, we agree on something, MunchonMen. That guy is an idiot.

He's from your dick of the woods, isn't he, Whiny?

(Sorry .. It HAD to be said)

Coming from a flaming liberal in Texas . . .

No flame burns in my heart but the fire of liberty and justice for all.

Your pal wasn't talking about fixing the bus station roof, was he?

Bullshit. You oppose liberty and justice at every turn. You want the government to control virtually everything. You're lying, Assup. But that is your normal state.

The guy is 68 years old. I give him a pass like you gave Robert KKK Byrd a pass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnO6ai0Ktro

Of course a lot of younger people have said the word; Chris Rock, Richard Pryor (when he was younger and alive), George Carlin (when he was younger and alive again), Kramer, etc. So go put your shovel away and step away from the mole hill.

You fuckers will defend anything...

You only assume because I oppose your views that I oppose liberty and justice, but you're full of shit.

Prove yourself true. PLEASE CITE HOW Ive opposed liberty and justice AT EVERY TURN. Show how I WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING.

Making shit up is nothing new for you. You do it every day.

You call call me names all you like, but at some point you have to prove yourself. Consider that now.

If that is your measuring stick, then for every white Republican racist you pick, I can name 2 black/Hispanic Democrat racists...........

Whirlytard, I don't think this is a measuring stick issue. it was a stupid redneck Republican caught on tape making racial slurs.

Are you defending his actions because he's a white Republican?

I am NOT defending his actions; but that comment doesn't make him a racist,,,,he said something that was racial and shouldn't have been said, that DOES NOT make him a racist....

Do you have other similar comments by this person ?

If a single incident can label you a racist; then the minority communities of America are over-populated with racist.......yourself included, you certainly use derogatory racial slurs to make a point, you do it repeatedly................

Who is the racist?

Again this isn't about how many racists there are on either side of the aisle. It's about this stupid fuck from Salina Kansas.

And by your arrogance and obstinacy, you ARE defending him.

He's a dipshit redneck who made TWO racial comments. In the same presentation. Does they make him a racist? Who knows. Does defending him make you an asshole?

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY!

So that is your standard; and by your own standard your a raging racist..............
