DUmocrats....always have an over-abundance of excuses.
Will this be played to the extent of Nguyen in California and the letter to Hispanic voters? Not holding my breath...
Never mind . . .
I was in the airport in Mexico City a few years back and asked an employee when a ticket counter would be open. "30 minutes," he said and then added "Mexican time," and grinned.
Maybe the search engine is on Injun Time too.

"I did not mean any harm by my words and I humbly apologize if I offended anyone. That was not my intent," he said in a statement hours after the National Republican Congressional Committee released a tape recording of the comment. "
How courageous!!
On the old Lou Grant TV show, the character, Joe Rossi used the term, Indian Time to explain to the police who wanted to move the old indian chief away from the sidewalk where he was blocking traffic; and Ed Asner as Lou Grant took up the old indian's cause.
They don't come any farther to the left than Ed Asner.
You pale-faces are all alike.
So, if it concerns Native Americans, no problem ?
Blacks often use the "N" word with one another - but what happens when a "honkey" uses it???
Always seems to be double standards when it's a democrat's versus republicans or Native Americans versus ANY other ethnic group.
American Indians are still considered all but invisible in this country - the U.S. Congress even once ruled them as aliens...How many more years, I wonder, before the country gets over it's stupid mass-guilt, which results in blaming everything on the Native Americans, accepts the truth for both sides and gets on with it?
In early colonial times, for a funny example, the Indians found it comical that the white man needed a clock to tell him when he was hungry...instead of just eating when he was hungry, as the Indian did.
Gard is going to eat this guy's lunch. This district is solidly Republican.

I sure hope not...
That's great to hear! I used to live in Green Bay. I'm in Washington County now, one of the most conservative counties in Wisconsin. Now, if the media would cover this like it was a republican...... 'holding my breath.'
It's not like he called them WARRIORS or anything. Now there's something to be upset about!
Faux outrage is a very selective thing.
Democratic U.S. House candidate Steve Kagen apologized with some beads and cheap whiskey.
Even though he's getting a taste of the foul medicine his party regularly foists on Republicans, I have to say this is one of the rare occasions on which I sympathize with a Rat.
As for our guy in South Dakota who condemned him: Shut up with the PC crap. Just run your own race.
It's ok....he just called them Injuns....he could have called them warriors. Now THAT would have been insensitive.
More insensitive slurs. Did you mean to say "wampum and fire-water"?
