This was simply mind-boggling… And this person is actually a member of our US Congress..
It seems that Rep. Westmoreland isn’t the only political figure who is comfortable with using the term “uppity”..
From ThinkProgress: Georgia GOP candidate calls black MSNBC reporter ‘uppity.’:
Speaking to a Georgia morning news show last Thursday, GOP congressional candidate Rick Goddard criticized an MSNBC reporter’s sharp questioning of former House speaker Newt Gingrich at the Republican National Convention. Goddard called the African-American reporter, Ron Allen, “uppity“:
I’ll tell you one thing, I think we’re going to have a very, very strong, capable president in John McCain. Last night, Newt Gingrich disarmed a very uppity newscaster who tried to question him on the capabilities and leadership of Governor Palin. There’s simply no comparison between a governor and a community organizer.
The racists seem to be crawling out of the woodwork.. I feel like I have floated back in time..

Hi TtT,
As my Geology prof used to say “The South didn’t lose, they just ran out of bullets.”
