Not even trying to hide their racism anymore, I see.
The Hill:
Georgia Republican Rep. Lynn Westmoreland used the racially-tinged term “uppity” to describe Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama Thursday. Westmoreland was discussing vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s speech with reporters outside the House chamber and was asked to compare her with Michelle Obama. “Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they’re a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they’re uppity,” Westmoreland said.
Asked to clarify that he used the word “uppity,” Westmoreland said, “Uppity, yeah.”
From the C&L vault: Westmoreland co-sponsors bill on the Ten Commandments and can’t even name them

Did she happen to use the word Negro?
One thing I've noticed about the RNC is the utter dearth of elitists.
Which brings me back to my favorite comment on this thread.
I know the HW Bush / James Baker / Thurston C. Howell III branch of the GOP is fading fast. But they do still exist. And Peggy Noonan fancies that she speaks for them.
Some of them have got to be looking at Palin and her f'ed up family and thinking, "who opened a trailer park in our country club?"
The plutocrat/NASCAR Christian rift was bound to rip wide open eventually.
Dude, THIS GUY IS A MAN. I know, i know...Lynn? Probably wears a dress in his off hours.
Also, there is a 100% chance that this cracker moron has a black lawn jockey in his yard.
Lynn... funny name for a man.
