Kansas House speaker calls Michelle Obama "Mrs. Yo-Mama"

[proud2BlibKansan]

Kansas House Speaker Mike O’Neal today is defending an email he forwarded to fellow Republican lawmakers calling first lady Michelle Obama “Mrs. YoMama.”

The email, first reported today by the Lawrence Journal-World, has pictures comparing Mrs. Obama to the Grinch because of their similarly wind-blown hair.

“Sorry, just had to forward this latest holiday message,” O’Neal wrote. “I’ve had worse hair days, but this is pretty funny.”

The forwarded email goes on to state: “I’m sure you’ll join me in wishing Mrs. YoMama a wonderful, long Hawaii Christmas vacaton — at our expense, of course,” the Journal-World reported this afternoon.

1. i suggest he blame auto-correct

more believable than "blah people".

[bigwillq]

2. O'Neal should be immediately dismissed (nt)

[LonePirate]

18. Dismissed? He will be hailed as a free speech hero by the racist, ignorant Rethugs that infest KS.

[trueblue2007]

42. FIRE HIM NOW!! And ..... don't let him collect unemployment.

hope he likes being on food stamps. what a creep

[Whisp]

3. something a filthy grub would say

[Scuba]

4. Passive / agressive appeal to racists. n/t

[tridim]

5. Someitmes I wish they'd just use the N-word and be done with it.

I'm sure they already do in private.

[annabanana]

8. +1

That was pretty damn bald.

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. Same here

The game they play is pretty boring.

[one_voice]

6. Uggghhh...

I don't know what's worse, that he said it, or he's trying to 'defend' it.

You sent the shit, man up and own it.

[louis-t]

7. Repugs really don't understand the internets..

do they?

[Aristus]

9. If this dipshit is an elected official,

then doesn't he do the things he does "at the expense" of the people of Kansas?...

Barf bag...

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. He's the House speaker

Yes, he's an elected official.

[Aristus]

13. Sorry, I should have stressed that it was a rhetorical question.

And how passive-aggressive is that putrid "seasons' greetings" of his? "Have a Merry Christmas (at our expense)". Man, if that shit-stain were here, I'd hit him so hard it would injure his whole family...

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. No worries

[SomethingFishy]

12. Nothing like a person who is living on taxpayer dollars

berating someone for living off of taxpayer dollars.

[girl gone mad]

16. It's different when he does it.

You know, cause he's white and Republican and all.

[Greybnk48]

14. Ignorant white trash.

A person who has a need to identify a person or group to feel superior to. I wonder what this POS does at the taxpayers expense.

[City Lights]

15. The GOPee just keeps out-doing itself.

Sometimes I swear they must be competing for the Most Outrageous Thing Said This Week award.

[sandyj999]

17. You can't regulate stupidity.

[Capitalocracy]

19. That's not a little bit racist.

It's completely, undeniably, over-the-top racist.

[EC]

20. Absolute lack of respect.

Because he believes they don't deserve to be in the White House because they are black or because he has no respect for anyone?

[MineralMan]

21. Oh, for pity's sake!

House Speaker? Hasn't figured out that what he writes will go public? He puts the moron in moronic, I think.

[Matariki]

22. "the first lady’s extravagant spending of taxpayer funds" ???

wtf?? What does that even mean?

[nobodyspecial]

24. I think it's because they went to Hawaii

Disregarding the fact that it just happens to be the president's home state. I guess they shouldn't be allowed to spend the holiday with family.

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. Imagine the uproar if they had gone to Kenya

[Manifestor_of_Light]

23. William Allen White is no doubt redlining the marble tachometer.

The Journalism school at the University of Kansas is named after him. He was from Emporia.
He wrote a famous essay about the death of his daughter that we had to read in high school.

That said, the House Speaker is way outta line.

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. William Allen White would be appalled by the KS media

It's gone so far downhill since his time.

[Odin2005]

26. The racists have become more and more unhinged since 2008.

It's frightening. I grew up taught that racism was no longer a problem, I was taught wrongly, apparently.

[yellowcanine]

27. "To those I have offended, I am sorry. That was not at all my intent.”

Once again, a non apology apology. If the Republicans are going to continue to say this crap they should at least learn to apologize properly. OTOH, keep talking Republicans. Americans are fair people. This just hurts your party.

[Marrah_G]

31. Yup- they just spout their racist shit and then try to say...

"Ohh.... I didn't meant to sound like a racist piece of shit, you all just misunderstood."

I think Buchanans new book speaks very, very loudly about the true thoughts and feelings of the average GOP voter.

[yellowcanine]

35. Buchanan's new book? What is the title so I know what to look for in the remainder bin.

[Marrah_G]

36. Suicide of a Superpower

http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/10/twelve_pretty_racist_or_just_crazy_quotes_from_pat_buchanans_new_book.php?ref=fpa

I highly suggest this link for some excerps

[yellowcanine]

37. Has anyone else noticed that Pat Buchanan is turning into James Garner?

[proud2BlibKansan]

38. That's insulting to James Garner

[yellowcanine]

39. In appearance only. I'm just the messenger.

[comipinko]

30. The dogs ears perk, they hear it!

[bigtree]

32. his momma

[WI_DEM]

33. another racist caught at being a racist

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

34. He and the President

should be put in a locked room together and he should repeat that. Open the door in 20 minutes and see what he has to say then...........................

[xxqqqzme]

40. Ahhh, the non-apology -

"...This one made me laugh- I’ve had bad hair days too. I forwarded it too quickly missing the text included in the body of the email. To those I have offended, I am sorry. That was not at all my intent.”

along with the normal fall back position - It was a joke!

[Dawson Leery]

41. Another right wing racist.

[GoCubsGo]

43. They don't even hide it anymore.
