Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) compared companies and workers to a “cage fight” between a “giant” and a “midget” on Wednesday night. By Thursday, he publicly expressed regret to “abnormally small people” for using the “m-word”.
Johnson was discussing the right-to-work enacted in Michigan on Wednesday when he said, “What happens when you put in a cage fight a giant in with a midget? Well, the midget will not win the fight, I’m going to tell you that. Why? He just doesn’t carry enough weight to do so.” …

A real intellectual giant, that Hank Johnson...
I wish someone would send me a memo everytime a word becomes kryptonite. I wasn’t even aware that “midget” was now considered “bad.”
Midget, midget, midget, midget.
There.
I personally don't see a thing wrong with this comparison, but in this day and age of knee-jerk responses, then I guess he'd be considered rude. Guess he should have said "vertically challenged."
We have redefined retarded, midgets, etc., so we can jump immediately and grab an attorney.
Yes, but the "vertically-challenged" may not be able to jump quite as high. So they get assistance.

Standard paragraphs of disclaimers for the good and sane people of the peach state....
.... which really do greatly outnumber the likes of McKinney & Hank...
Yes, but the "vertically-challenged" may not be able to jump quite as high. So they get assistance.
But since they're the last ones to know when it rains, they should be supplied with Obamabrellas to make up for years of expoitation.
I hope he apologizes to the vertically enhanced as well...
I am vertically challenged, but I will always defend my “different” brothers and sisters...

Good freakin’ grief! “Abnormally small” is preferable to midget? Who’s apologizing for abnormally small? I thought the term was “vertically challenged.”
There’s Hank’s answer right there...
If the military sends midget soldiers to Guam, it won’t tip over.
FLASH! I just realized how the Republicans can get all the ‘hate to be called racist’ liberals, libertarians and even the blue doggies to vote for their candidate and win the next presidential election!
Run a female black midget!
But you can fit more midgets on Guam before it will capsize.
This comments dwarfs the stupidity of Johnson’s previous statements.

Make that a female black midget lesbian muslim (or atheist) and we might have something there!
A midget is a midget no matter who is looking at them!
This comments dwarfs the stupidity of Johnson’s previous statements.

That’s because he has a “short” attention span...
The U.S. and world are screwed, whenever such idiots end up being elected to political office. The left controls way too much of the world’s politics, already, and it continues to get, even, worse!
If you put too many midgets on Guam, it might tip over and fall into the ocean.
