Illinois State Senator Rickey Hendon must be a happy man – after laboring in relative political obscurity for years, he’s hit the national news twice in a week.
Last week we featured the ebonics commercial he ran earlier this year during his campaign for Illinois lieutenant governor. If you thought that was extreme, wait until you hear what he said on Saturday.
The Chicago Sun-Times has the bizarre details:
Always-outspoken state Sen. Rickey Hendon on Saturday took aim at Republican gubernatorial nominee Bill Brady at a “get out the vote” rally on the West Side.
“I’ve never served with such an idiotic, racist, sexist, homophobic person in my life,” Hendon said before introducing Gov. Quinn. “If you think that the minimum wage needs to be three dollars an hour, vote for Bill Brady. If you think that women have no rights whatsoever, except to have his children, vote for Bill Brady. If you think gay and lesbian people need to be locked up and shot in the head, vote for Bill Brady.”
Other Democrats were immediately seen scurrying away from the Hendon as quickly as possible.

Ricky should be required to spell every name he uses ... how childish.

Oh, Rickey, you're a swine, you're a swine, you blow my mind, hey Rickey.
Actually, I enjoy the "over the top libs" -- always more destructive to their own cause, push anybody with any intelligence or decency right out of their party,
Both parties have a lot of self-contradictory things in their platform. Unlike Conservatives, the libs have to believe them all, and viciously persecute any who shows the slightest doubt in any one. In order to weaken and eliminate that party from the political landscape, all's we have to do is get the intelligent ones to just *once* admit that just *one* of their shibboleths is false. Their abuse and intolerance of dissent does the rest for us.
NAACP...
National African American Communist Party
...hat tip to Andrew Wilkow.
I like "Now Apes Are Considered People" much better.
You disgust me...

Geez, dude, you make an over-the-top comment like that, and you suddenly have a problem with KQ being unhappy with it? To be honest, I'm unhappy about it, too. I thought better of you.
If your goal is to keep conservatism down, just keep on driving people away like that. There are an awful lot of people with different skin color than you who are conservative, and deeply support conservative beliefs. They hold their nose and vote democrat not because the democrat party helps them, but because people drive them away from conservatism. You're no better than the lib trolls who drive off the best and brightest from the democrat party.
We cannot afford to blow off our fellow Americans and become a socialist nation just because you have a hardon for insulting and demeaning other people, calling them 'apes'. It is just that simple. We need every single vote we can get. The opposition will happily cheat if things are close. We cannot afford to let it come to that.
I don't give a shit what you say or think in the privacy of your home -- but when you come out in public, learn to control your tongue.
Otherwise, here's your future: You get to say all the crap you want about black people while the people we all detest assume control over every aspect of your life on the basis of opposing you. Shortly after that, they'll round you up when you are no longer useful to them. If it was just your future, I wouldn't care. It's my future, too, and so I do.
Well said perlcat!
Trust me YT I am not a racist... I dont go around calling white people racist names just to show my disgust at their policies. What you did reflects badly on conservatives on this site. An idiot liberal has to do is point to your moronic post to PROVE that all conservatives are racists. You are possibly a plant.
Not so much.
Hendon is an antiquated, back-number, passe, obsolete has-been left over from the now-irrelevant National Association for the Advancement of Racist Colored People. Hendon, sit down and shut up. You have nothing of interest to say and have no constructive ideas to act upon. Step aside and let those that do run the show.
