But he is one mean dumb effin' hater.
At a campaign barbecue in his district Sunday, Walsh was explaining what he hopes will be the tea partys role in the election:
Theres something different on the ground, and I think its going to overtake us all again, think its going to overtake the political class. I think its going to respectfully pick this president up and pat him on the head and say, son, son, son, Mr. President, you were never ready to be president, now go home and work for somebody and find out how the real world works.

"What can I can you boys today!?", he'd say. Not meant in a racist way, just (what he thought was) a friendly thing he'd say.
Well one day a group of older black gentleman came in and he said "What can I can you boys today!?"
They didn't take it so well. He wasn't trying to be racist, but geez, use a little COMMON SENSE!
That said, I can't say I'm sure Joe Walsh meant nothing by what HE said in any kind of racist way. There's a good chance he DID, but even if he was only trying to be a condescending douche bag... WATCH WHAT THE HELL YOU SAY.
What a moron.
