South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Dick Harpootlian objected earlier in the week on MSNBC to today’s Republican primary debate. Unlike the rest of America, he was not just objecting to the concept of having the watch the same candidates of the past year or so talk about the same things for another two hours — he considered it objectionable to have a debate on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and “ignore” the holiday.

Uh Oh!!! I had to get the battery in Momma’s car checked at the dealer yesterday. A polite young black man did the check out but now I feel so bad and must be totally racist forcing this young man to work on such a momentous occasion. NOT! Good thing we didn’t give our mostly black dog a bath yesterday. He does have some white on him though. (Sarc Off!)

The dems are worried about debates on MLK day but they work harder and harder to remove the word Christmas and anything Godly from every corner of this country. Hypocrits and Godless liars.

And people working on Lincoln’s and Washington’s birthdays are also racist, using this logic.

Harpootlian is a joke. The GOP should buy air time for him and let him spout off everyday...show what a boob he and the party he represents are.

In Harpootlian’s lifetime, the SC Dems were proud of their Jim Crow laws.
