A junior Republican congresswoman thinks her party needs to find the "Great White Hope" to fight President Barack Obama's agenda.
Yes, those were the words she used.
In a conservative town hall forum Aug. 19, Topeka Republican Rep. Lynn Jenkins declared that her party would need to embrace a "White Hope" to derail the agenda of President Obama and Congressional Democrats.
The comments were revealed by The Topeka Capital-Journal.
A Jenkins spokesman, contacted Wednesday by a local paper, said the congresswoman didn't mean her remarks to be offensive.
I'm sure they weren't offensive at all at a conservative town hall forum in East Dumbfuck, Kansas.
The phrase "Great White Hope" is most well-known as a reference to heavyweight boxing champion James J. Jeffries, used by the press before a 1910 boxing match. The media referred to Jeffries as a "Great White Hope" capable of fighting off African American boxer Jack Johnson.
"I am going into this fight for the sole purpose of proving that a white man is better than a Negro," Jeffries said.
At the match, a ringside band played, "All coons look alike to me."
I'm actually glad she said that. The quicker that what remains of the rapidly shredding veneer of Repug 'moral values' drops away and reveals the endemic racism of the Dead End Quarter (y!Fctp!), the better.
