The Conservative bible thumpers on my Facebook have been having a nice little circle jerk over this since it came out.

Jim Gile, a Republican commissioner in Saline County, Kansas, used an offensive racial slur during an argument with a fellow commissioner, but he wants everyone to know that he isn’t a racist because he’s “built Habitat homes for colored people,” and also that he has a black friend:

In a recording made by County Clerk Don Merriman of the study session, Gile, who is white, can be heard to say the county needed to hire an architect to design the improvements rather than “n[*]gger-rigging it.”
His comment brought laughter from others in the room. Salinan Ray Hruska, who attends most commission meetings and study sessions, asked Gile what he said.
“Afro-Americanized,” Gile replied. . . .
Gile said he grew up around the term, but it is something he shouldn’t have used.
“I am not a prejudiced person,” Gile said Friday. “I have built Habitat homes for colored people.”
Gile said he also has a close friend whom he regards as a sister who is black.

Despite running through a list of excuses for his offensive comment that read like something out of a Chappelle Show sketch, Gile did admit that “[i]t was a bad choice of words” and said he was “sorry.”

The smart way to cover it would have been to say "What? I thought it was a good thing, my wife says MacGyver was the greatest nigger-rigger of all time."

That story had it all

Marcus Hook, PA Mayor Jay Schiliro (R) has dropped his bid for reelection "after he was arrested on charges he abused his position to imprison a 20-year-old man during a drunken, gun-wielding encounter at his home," the Delaware County Daily Times reports.

"Authorities allege that late on the evening of Feb. 21, Schiliro contacted the young man by text message and had a police officer deliver him to his borough home. There... the mayor allegedly gave the young man alcohol and produced three firearms, one of which was fired into papers inside the house. During the encounter, the mayor repeatedly asked the young man if he could give him oral sex."

Holy shit this is the town I live in and I had no idea this happened. I'm not completely surprised though, I met the guy and he's a complete douche and I know all the local cops hate him.

What could possibly be missing from those factual tales of successful retreat in VT, Germany, and the bowels of Amsterdam? Why children and vagina's of course. While the tales relate the actions of a solitary male the outcome cannot relate to similar situations where children and women and mothers are the potential victims.

[Tarage]

What the actual fuck dude. That is not okay.

[Callisto]

The way he turned it around and was like 'how dare you be offended by that!' is kind of amazing

I take more offense at the pluralization with an apostrophe than anything else. That man is raping the English language, and he should be ashamed of himself.

Do you have any conclusive evidence to back that allegation of rape up? You know that accusing someone of rape can ruin their life, right?
