Democrat congressman calls Clarence Thomas “Uncle Thomas.” Harvard-educated Rep. Ryan Winkler (D-MN) quickly deleted his racist Tweet, then made excuses for himself by claiming, “I did not understand ‘Uncle Tom’ as a racist term, and there seems to be some debate about it. I do apologize for it, however.”

I believe him. He went to Harvard. That place is full of idiots.
Once again I will state the very obvious. If a Repub said this about a black person, he/she would be drummed out of office within a day or two. A Repub saying this would have been forced to resign already by an apeshit media completely "outraged" by this (what's their favorite word, oh yeah, REPREHENSIBLE racist comment. But alas, said by a fellow democommie so .....crickets.
What a sorry, two-bit, lying asshole.
Of course that describes ALL liberals.
I will donate $1,000 to any conservative that runs against this sorry piece of shit.
If his parents are alive, I hope they get cancer and die slow and painful deaths. They deserve it for raising a dog shit like this punk.
I gave you a tu before getting to the last part. I don't think it is appropriate to wish that upon innocent people that have nothing to do with this situation or what he said. He is an adult and an idiot and for all we know an embarrasment perhaps to his parents. I don't think that they need to be blamed for this per se. That is just too much.
Bravo ass hole. This dim wit uttered one of the most racist things to call a black man and he will get a pass because he is a dim wit. Clarence Thomas rose up from nothing to sit on the Supreme Court. Because he is a conservative and did not use the system to further him along he is despised by the left and the race baiters.
His story is one for all Americans. It proves what dedicated hard work can do for you. Not the "you owe me something" attitude that so many today have.
This PoS knew exactly what he was saying and was hoping to garner favor for calling Clarence Thomas an "Uncle Tom" Now that he has been called upon his racist tweet and rant, the "I didn't know" line is so phony it is sickening
So all you fine tolerant leftist, STFU and go sit in the corner and let real people lead and be heard.
Why is it that libturds always talk of inclusion and fair treatment, but are always the first to attack and defile anyone who goes against the grain? I gave up a long time ago believing any liberal is inclusive, they are becoming more and more like Nazi's spewing hate, only this time conservatives or anyone who disagrees with them are the new Jews. The party of hate always has excuses for their behavior, I didn't know being among the most popular. They damn well know, but they like to see just how far they can go before push-back comes. In most cases they are waiting for a reaction to the hate they spew that will justify and rationalize their sick and twisted behavior. See I didn't know, but these damn conservatives racists are just as bad. This tiny little man could not stand in in the shadow of judge Thomas without disappearing completely. Just chalk it up as another hate filled racist rant from a small minded bigot who is upset that judge Thomas didn't follow the liberal party line. Read some of the stories about what was posted on twitter by other blacks to see true racism and hate from the left.
Condi Rice, Dr. Ben Carson, Alan West, Dr. Thomas Sowell, let any man or woman of color stray off the plantation, go against the liberal mantra, and other black people vilify them like no white person ever would. Are they jealous? Are they afraid of anyone who can stand up and make their own way in life? You would think these intelligent, upstanding citizens would be held up as a shining example of what any man or woman in America can do if they just work for it.
Instead, the black community condems them, calls them vile names I wouldn't call my ex-wife. I would be proud as hell to meet Justice Thomas, the people I mentioned above, and many other outstanding Americans, who happen to be black, and shake their hand.
"Are they jealous? Are they afraid of anyone who can stand up and make their own way in life? You would think these intelligent, upstanding citizens would be held up..."
You are heading toward the mistake many rational people make when trying to figure out the answer to the age-old Q:
WHY?
You are applying rational, logical thought.
You can't do that. There is no rational thinking going on there. There are two kinds of people there. The people who aspire to make Borgs, and the people who aspire to be made into Borgs. And there is no more rational explanation for why they are that way than there is for why someone decides that the best thing they can do is shoot as many people as they can and then shoot themselves, or walk around telling everyone "I am Jesus", or just sit around being a vegetable.
The bottom line is that some just want to control others, and others want to be controlled because they have a fear of liberty that ranges from mild anxiety to all-out, cold sweat shakes terror.
The big problem in this world is that so many walk around seeming rational, and even eloquent.
Right. Toss in some pseudo-intellectual crap about justice in all its progressive versions and you have the modern American liberal rhetorical method.
My Bullshit Meter is spinning at 100,000 RPM.
Duck before it explodes!
OK, I'm lost.
What did he THINK it meant? If he wasn't going for something along the lines of "black man who does white man's bidding," then what was he shooting for with the epithet?
Exactly. Unless he is a moron that heard someone else say that about another black man or even Thomas himself and saw that everyone else laughed and instead of looking it up just assumed it was a "thing to say" whenever Thomas did something that no one liked.
It is absurd. He knew what he was saying, if he didn't then he is a moron, either way he needs to go.
We've found your thumbs-down stalker! It's Ryan Winkler!
I cannot believe this fool still has a job, but such is government especially if you are a Democrat.
He is in the same state that Elected Al Franken to the Senate......He probably will be a rising star in the DNC now...On tour with Debbie Washerhands Much and Anthony Wiener. That's the Future of the democrap party..Almost forgot they have a Muslim rep in Minnesota to, Ellison....the CAIR water boy in congress...Must be some kind of bug in the water in Minnesota.
Dummy Washerwoman Schmutz was on FOX the other day braying like the jackass the is. Her hair looked like she just got out of the shower, wet and close to her head. I think if you ran over her head with your truck, you could forgo that lube job this time.
It is absolutely disgraceful. No one, no matter who says this should be safe and okay after saying such a thing.
Suggestions to the honorable Rep. Winkler - how to explain this away.
1. "Uncle Tom" is a term with racial implications? Ah didn't know anything about this til I read it in the paper this mornin'
2. It was a bureaucratic snafu.
3. It's no big deal. I call my grandkids "Uncle Tom" all the time (ref: Howard Cosell, on MNF, called a wide receiver, who is black, a "little monkey")
4. Clarence Thomas sold out to the white man, so it's ok.
5. It was taken out of context.
6. I apologize for anyone who was offended by my comments.
The Jake Blues defense.

What used to be humor is now truth.
Your chocolate ration has now been increase too.
We have always been at war with Eastasia.
He need to be Paula Deaned. Fair is fair.
My fave meme: features Paula Dean saying she is called a racist for admitting to using the N-word.... Then pictures Quentin Tarintino and says that he's celebrated for creating a movie that uses the N-word 113 times.
The democrat party is all about diversity, as long as everyone thinks the same.
This rule will never be proven wrong.
