Do you think this will be played up like the MSM does with Allen?

[mtbopfuyn]

Oh, so when Native Americans say it that's fine and dandy, but let a honkey say it and suddenly everybody's feelings are hurt.

[Argus]

What a gaff. Everybody knows the correct term is "Native American Time".

[Rb ver. 2.0]

MACACA!

[Political Junkie Too]

The term "Injun" also is not necessarily disrespectful, she said.

Tell that to the Macaca.

As an American Injun, let me say that there is such a thing as Injun time. Yes there is! I'll bet you a buck.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Exactly. Gee, the macaca thing was the big story for at least a week. Insulting Indians about being on Indian time is at least as offensive as someone using a word that nobody in the MSM had heard of until Allen said it. Then they decided it was a racial slur and played it up as such.

We'll see how much coverage this gets. Democrats love American Indians. That's why Indian reservations are such oases of prosperity.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Was it Injun Daylight Time or Injun Standard Time?

"We're on Injun time." Hahaha, hilarious!

Still, won't get the same Macaca attention, even though everybody knows what Injun refers to, as opposed to nobody knowing what Macaca even meant.

Ooops. Gotta fix that typo in the original article ...

Bobbi Webster, a spokeswoman for the Oneida Nation, said Monday that Kagen's comment was not being taken as disrespectful coming from a Republican by tribal members. No apology was sought, she said.

[Unknown Pundit]

Is Injun time anything like stripper time? I knew a dancer a few years back, she explained to me there was real time and stripper time. Stripper time runs 30-90 mins behind real time.... LOL

[maine-iac7]

"Tribal members say that themselves. It is not uncommon to hear somebody come in late and say, 'Oh-Oh. I am running on Indian time.

Blacks also often use the "N" word with each other. It's verboten to others.

and Indians (many still prefer "Indian" to the so-called PC "Native American") - and there's a big difference between "Indian" and "Injun."

However, no sweat , no issue - it was a democrat...

and contrary to what his people said, he WAS asked to apologize. Of course, that's all a democrat ever has to do - a republican would already be outta town on a rail - provided, not by the Indians, but the "outraged" democrats

[RasterMaster]

DUmocrats....always have an over-abundance of excuses.

[MikeA]

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.

[Old Professer]

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.

[maine-iac7]

Indian time allowed for a much less stressful life.

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.

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.
