GOP activist uses Facebook to compare first lady to gorilla (Rape OK, Gorilla Outrageous)
CNET ^ | 6/15/2009 | Staff

Posted on 06/15/2009 6:13:03 AM PDT by Red in Blue PA

You see, according to a report by WIS10 TV in Columbia, S.C., Rusty DePass, a prominent Republican Party activist, happened to see a Facebook post by an aide to state Attorney General Henry McMaster.

The post described an escape by a gorilla on Friday from the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia.

DePass, once a state Senate candidate, responded to the post with these words: "I'm sure it's just one of Michelle's ancestors - probably harmless."

--

Columbia Mayor Bob Coble appears to have seen no clear jest at all. He told WIS10: "You know, I think the comment is inappropriate. It's a racist comment."

Pointing out hypocrisy is not tantamount to defense.

We’re better than they are. Surely you are aware of this?

I don’t think Michelle looks like a gorilla. She is just butt ugly, inside and out IMO.

And he issued an apology, something they would never even consider doing.

Yes, the “press” don’t need anything to make a story about conservatives anyway. Spin is their game.

OK, we’ll just stick to calling her Aunt Esther.

Bush isn't black. Call Obama something else.

Raciest comment? Gorillas have a race ? What color would a shaved gorilla be?

Instead of saying the escaped gorilla was one of Blackie O’s ancestors, he should have said the gorilla had escaped to knock-up Obama’s daughters Sasha and Malia.

Your comment is a revelation into the cowardice within most of the Republican leadership. “Truthfully”???? Absolutely not. There is nothing truthful about the comment you made. When you are so consumed with fear and concern over what a liar would blame you of regarding a comment you would make, you'll consequently never wind up saying anything of any value. And you certainly couldn't be counted on to tell the truth when it was sorely needed.

There are no black or white apes. Thus to tie a racist label to the comment is stupid and intentionaly fraudulent. The lie proffered regarding the comment being racist is deliberately to hide a greater truth.

The basic position of most of the left is anti-religious/anti-creationist/pro-Darwinist. Their belief is that man evolved from apes. The comment from the activist has nothing to do with race and everything to do with the belief system of liberals ie... if you evolved from the ape, then the ape has to be your relative.

The persistent position of a liar is that no matter what you do, they will lie to oppose and discredit you no matter how careful you are. They will correspondingly compromise you into ineffectiveness.

The appropriate and ONLY antidote to this position is to grow a pare and give it back to them. Something limp-wristed Repubs and “Conservatives” have been negligent in doing.

Your comment that the activists statement was somehow “inappropriate” is a false statement, playing right into the hands of the lying left.

My recommendation to you is pull your head out of your A$$, get some whevos, and stop being a wuss.

So, in your opinion, making an assertion that black people are “gorillas” is acceptable?

I disagree.

Why not point out obvious double-standards?

Why engage in double standard of our own?

"Why engage in double standard of our own?

Pointing out a double-standard is not the same as engaging in one. Or are we supposed to run all criticism of the media by some self-appointed "czar" nowadays?

Your response to my post (#50) is...

“So, in your opinion, making an assertion that black people are “gorillas” is acceptable?”

The activist's comment originally which this thread is about was...

“I'm sure it's just one of Michelle's ancestors - probably harmless.”

After reading the activist's comment and my post, to even come to the remotest conclusion that either make any assertion that black people are gorillas, or that such a concept is acceptable, is an invention and a total fraud committed by you. You apparently have no ability to read anything for content and come up with an understanding of what is written.

Further, you show your absolute intent to misunderstand and lie about what someone is communicating.

Me thinks you B one of the deadbeats this website is dedicated to oppose.

Its uncanny how some intelectual midgits go about debating. When they loose utterly, rather than question themselves as to why or how they got so ignornat or stupid, they go about slinging brat comments.

Where did Shakespeare enter into this?

Regardless I accept your admition of defeat.
