Lindsey Graham: Rewind

“WHITE MEN IN MALE-ONLY CLUBS” COMMENT IS TRENDING … AGAIN || By FITSNEWS || U.S. Senator/ 2016 presidential candidate Lindsey Graham‘s campaign has a pat answer anytime one of his over-the-top pronouncements lands him in hot water (i.e. here and here) … “He was just kidding,” Graham’s staffers will say.

“WHITE MEN IN MALE-ONLY CLUBS” COMMENT IS TRENDING … AGAIN

|| By FITSNEWS || U.S. Senator/ 2016 presidential candidate Lindsey Graham‘s campaign has a pat answer anytime one of his over-the-top pronouncements lands him in hot water (i.e. here and here) …

“He was just kidding,” Graham’s staffers will say.

Uh-huh.

Well one time Graham clearly was kidding was last October, when he told the Charleston, S.C. Hibernian Society that “white men who are in male-only clubs are going to do great in my presidency.”

The remark – coupled with Graham’s, um, “leanings” and the fact his top consultant is (was?) a neo-Confederate – caused a minor buzz at the time, but no real political headache.

In the aftermath of last week’s horrific, racially motivated church shooting in Charleston, S.C., though, more than a few national reporters have contacted us asking about Graham’s comment.

As much as we’d love to stir up some trouble for one of our least favorite politicians of all-time, Graham really and truly was joking with his “white men in male-only clubs” comment.  How do we know?  Because we’ve spoken to people who were in the building at the time he made the comment.

Of course we did send the national reporters this link … which is no joke.

And we reminded them of his role in creating this little problem …

Which is also no joke.

And this is news because? Lindsey Graham has as much chance of being president as I do.

Why? Because you both have been living off the taxpayers for decades?

And you haven’t? Ridden on any interstate highways? Did the Russian threat keep you up at night during the Cold War? Do you, or do you plan to, use Medicare? How about Social Security benefits?

I inherited a large fortune from my parents and grand parents. I will never need those handouts. I am a Real Conservative, not like the pleabs who gather here.

It’s spelled “plebes”, just FYI.

….and peasant is much harder to spell, or am I the only one on here not in the Military?

Real Conservative June 25, 2015 at 6:25 pm

Why would I care about spelling? I’m filthy rich and not mooching off the government. You think you pay the politicians salaries? My friends and I own them. Much like we own you and your poor families.

I’m going to be discovered by the national media. Some of my wittiest comments are in those links. :-)
Do I look alright? Mustache even? Sideburns ok? Should I tuck my collar inside my sweater or leave it out?

This is what I referred to earlier today about comments and replies getting out of sequence — I was replying to this original comment, didn’t have the cartoon until now — but it’s funny!

I wonder if Lindsey ever went to the infamous Off-shore Drilling Company in Myrtle Beach? Weekends, all the boys who couldn’t be themselves back home piled in there from way out in the country. Nothing but pickup trucks, as far as the eye could see.

Bareback riding is more than a Rodeo event. I used to work security at a club that had a “Rainbow” night. I had to work the parking lot to discourage the loitering rednecks that wanted to harass people going in, and the I could always run the straight ones off by accusing them of wanting to check out guys asses. I was amazed at how many redneck guys I knew from up to three counties away who stopped from walking in when they saw me, that a look of sheer terror that I recognized them. It was always something like “Yeah, yeah, I’m here to beat them faggots up and let know I don’t like it!”. Anytime I would stop in a rural honky tonk I always got a lot of free beers from the “faggot haters” for my discretion.

I thought about adding new comments to each of the linked articles, about what a fraud Will Folks is, but I really don’t hate him that much.

“horrific, racially motivated” must be embedded in his MSWord phrase base. Personally, I think things will have gone too far when they replace Blazing Saddles with Cider House Rules.
