SC Senator Calls Haley, Obama 'Ragheads'

It is evident that the GOP has a problem with race. Even though the party has a black chairman and fielded a string of black candidates in recent primaries, the Republican's racial problem refuse to go away.

In fact it seems the only way to be a black or brown Republican is by pretending to ignore the racial epithets bandied about by your fellow party members. After all, a few months ago, GOP Chair Michael Steele had to pucker up for professional race baiter Rush Limbaugh, after he had made criticized the shock jock.

Now South Carolina GOP State Senator Jake Knotts has used the word "ragheads," an offensive term for Arabs, to describe S.C. gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley and President Barack Obama. Knotts shows he is not only racist, but fairly dim. Haley is of Indian descent, and was never a Muslim. Obama is of Kenyan descent and was also never a Muslim, and on top of that Haley is a Republican! With friends like that ... I am sure Knotts considers anyone non-white to a "raghead."

As if South Carolina didn't have enough problems with the Confederate flag issue, bestiality cases, a philandering governor, who went AWOL, and a gubernatorial candidate, Haley, who is currently in the middle of two sex scandals!
