The Party of Love, Again

There's a rather nasty Governor's race going on in South Carolina, with Nikki Haley as the GOP frontrunner. She's been dogged by accusations of an affair with a political blogger. But now Republican State Senator Jake Knott, apparently assuming that marital infidelity is not enough of a handicap for a SC politician in the post-Sanford era, takes the ugliness to a whole new level.

Noting that Haley was raised as a Sikh, Knott (who supported another candidate) went on the radio and said that 'we've got one raghead in the White House, we don’t need a raghead in the governor’s mansion.’

But don't ever forget, it's the liberals who are the hateful racists.

Chronic xenophobia makes for bad public and international policy.

Makes you stoopid on vacation, too.
