QUOTATION OF THE DAY

Where does South Carolina find these people? Here's the latest politician from that state to eat his foot:

"We already have one raghead in the White House, we don't need another in the governor's mansion."

-- South Carolina Republican State Senator Jake Knotts, referring to gubernatorial primary candidate Nikki Haley, also a Republican, who is of Indian descent.

WAIT! THIS JUST IN!

*****WARNING! GRAPHIC LANGUAGE AHEAD!*****

After making his remarks, Knotts repeated them to Free Times reporter Corey Hutchins. Only this time he said, "She's a fucking raghead."

According to Hutchins' Free Times article, "Knotts says he believed Haley has been set up by a network of Sikhs and was programmed to run for governor of South Carolina by outside influences in foreign countries."

Knotts went on to say, “We’re at war over there.”

He later clarified that remark, saying he did not mean the United States was at war with India, just with “foreign countries.”
