Guess what: Oklahoma is a name derived from the Choctaw words “red” and “people.” Wait ’til politically correct liberals hear about this:
“Oklahoma is the 20th most extensive and the 28th most populous of the 50 United States. The state’s name is derived from the Choctaw words okla and humma, meaning ‘red people’.”

I guess we should name them Pelosi Copters to avoid scaring anyone or offending anyone.
Next they'll be going after Tomahawk Missiles for being racist.

Thighs which produce thunder.
Thighs Which Make Smoke Signals.
Things which cannot be unseen
Things that give demons nightmares.
Wouldn't a more accurate translation be "Redskinned People"???
This is too funny! My wife is from Oklahoma, we hope to move their one day. We are both long-time Redskins fans. Double-good!
I see an IRS audit in your future ;)
I'll have a hard drive failure as soon as they notify me :-)
Make sure the dog eats all your paper records.
We do have a nice puppy (8 years old) that has been known to eat books and furniture and carpet. And squirrels that she has caught in the back yard. If I accidentally spill some bacon drippings on the tax returns ...
Harry Reid will be trying to sue Oklahoma any day now, to change their name to something less racist, like vanilla pudding.
Better would be Harry naked, staked to an ant hill in the middle of Oklahoma.....
As much as I'd like to see him suffer, I don't want to see him naked.
You just have to love the new liberal mantra, racism for the sake of racism.
Having Cherokee blood running through my veins, I have no problem with Redskins. These PC fools have found something else to bitch about. Whats next, maybe the Fighting Irish? What about the Chicago Blackhawks? Hell in Louisville there is a park called Iroquois Park and a high school called Iroquois.
Don't let dingy harry find out about the name origin for Oklahoma. He'll want to run to the well of the Senate and bitch about it. Maybe he'll promise to never go to Oklahoma again.
Daniel Synder needs to look at all of those bitching about the name and tell them to go to hell. He owns the team. The name Redskins has been the name of the team since they moved to DC in the 30s.
That's the thing that people should have figured out by now: PC idiots ALWAYS have something to bitch about.
The moment you give in to their demands and think you can sit down to rest, they unveil their next "evil word to be crushed."
Hey, PC idiots: Show me your whole list now, or shut the hell up!
Elizabeth Warren was born in Oklahoma so she should be leading the charge on this.
As Harvard's 1/256 Cherokee Indian affirmative action hire, she don't care about no stinkin' Choctaw words.
Interesting; I always thought it meant 'high cheekbones'.
Uhm.... love it when stuff like this comes out...
