“well to me, he stutters but you don't have to agree with me.”

“Well, HuffPost bloggers are going a good job of dealing with Jim DeMint.

The man and his friends exist in another world. They still live in the dream time of Strom Thurmond when prosperous South Carolina men had their white and black families. They still dream of having their own baronies where they are the masters and others are their slaves. When you do something they do not like, the cognitive dissonance in their little brains is enormous and they shout "You Lie!" to attack you. They disobey the State Department's order and go to Honduras to interfere with the mediation being done by the Organization of American States - probably in violation of the Logan Act. They have such a thirst for power they join Christian fascist groups like The Family of C-Street fame. DeMint even lived there until just recently. They live in another world, but it is not the world of the average South Carolinian. DeMint, Graham, Wilson, Sanford and others see the Republican Party falling apart around them, and they grasp at political straws. The comment made by DeMint and his friends about the Jewish community is just another example of their frustration combined with stu.pidity­.

The South Carolina GOP and men like DeMint continue to work stupi.dly to elevate themselves to even higher levels of stup.idty.”

“As sad as it sounds, I think they thought this was a good thing to say about Jews -- as in "they're good with money." It is a stereotype that has gotten Jews in trouble for millennia, but as a statement it is not anti-Semitic. Insensitive, yes. Dumb, yes. As a Southern Jew, I have lived with things like this my whole life. Most of the people saying things like this are not anti-Semites which would imply they hate Jews. They have never known any Jews. They know the stereotype of Jews and money and instead of thinking it a negative, think it is truth that we are proud of.”

“It does state so in the first paragraph: "But their defense of the senator might be overshadowed by their use of an anti-Semitic stereotype to praise him."

I think most of us that read this understand that this remark is everything you say it is, including not clever and not funny. Most of the comments here reflect that people understand this. At the same time it shows how out of touch many in the GOP are to make such a comment, especially the two South Carolinians that made it.”

“Frankly, tho I am NOT a Pub...Snow­e is a woman of her own mind and That threatens them.

I have a LOT of respect for Snowe...th­o we are Politically Miles apart, she is the Most informed, Logical (tho I disagree with her)calmest, least likely to sling mud and maintains respect for others all the while ignoring the childish attacks.

I wish, Morality wise, there were Hundreds like her!”

“Are you white? Because it's always extra special when whites tell blacks what to be offended by and when they are overreacting. Everything from your view point, eh?”

“I have to agree; I think it's kind of cute with the green hair growing out! But, maybe I'm just not taking this important issue seriously enough.”

“Frankly, my dear, I don't give a d@mn.”

“Rapture!”

“The end is near, hide, look busy!”

“Keep watching those scary movies”
