This is his complete statement:
Look, a bad guy is a bad guy, I dont care what color it is. When you go to war, if you know the enemy, the enemy dresses in red and you dress in blue, you shoot at red, dont you? [link=https://www.facebook.com/scott.thistle.75]he said[/link]. You shoot at the enemy. You try to identify the enemy. And the enemy right now, the overwhelming majority right now coming in are people of color or people of Hispanic origin. I cant help that. I just cant help it. Those are the facts.-
Republicans get in deeper when they give up their secret handshakes and secret decoder dog whistles & provide clarity.

a) I believe those comments are racist.
b) I think you missed the “cocksucker” part, which is what really makes story the the story, don’t you think? 😉

“You little son of a ****, socialist cocksucker.”
According to LePage, Rep. Drew Gattine, a Democrat, was one of several local lawmakers who called him a racist this week, an accusation Gattine has since denied.
“Mr. Gattine, this is Gov. Paul Richard LePage,” LePage is heard saying in a recording first reported by the [link=http://www.pressherald.com/2016/08/26/prove-im-a-racist-lepage-challenges-westbrook-legislator-in-obscenity-laced-voice-mail/][i]Portland Press Herald[/i][/link]. “I would like to talk to you about your comments about my being a racist. You cocksucker, I want to talk to you. I want you to prove that I’m a racist. I’ve spent my life helping black people and, you little son of a **** socialist cocksucker, I want you to record this and make it public because I am after you. Thank you.”

What’s next, caning in the State House?

Don’t understand why that scribbler is so upset about the term used to address him. Maybe 20 years ago, addressing someone as c0cksucker was an insult by questioning their sexuality. Now that c0cksucking has gone mainstream, one could even argue fashionable, it is illogical to perceive it as an insult. Maybe it’s the socialist label he objects to.
Well, Mr Le Page got some attention, and that is all he was obviously looking for.

So if Le Page called you a cocksucker, you’d say, “Thank you! Always happy to make another man happy!”?
Whatever makes you happy, fw.-

I would invite him to admire the fabulous job I did on the decorations of my latest home remodel.

I did in fact miss the c*cksucker part…I don’t disagree that his comments are racist. Did you find the Ellen Degeneres Bolt tweet racist?

Ellen is not an elected official and is not representative of a state especially one that needs tourist dollars

Maine’s [i]Portland Press Herald[/i] apologizes for LePage.
[url=http://www.pressherald.com/2016/08/26/our-view-message-to-america-sorry-we-gave-you-lepage/] Message to America: Sorry we gave you LePage[/url]Dear America: Maine here. Please forgive us we made a terrible mistake. We managed to elect and re-elect a governor who is unfit for high office.
He has a gruff exterior and blunt way of talking that some of us find refreshing, but he has shown again and again that he governs by grudge, and uses his power to beat up on people who cannot fight back.
…
On the bright side, America, Le- Page isnt going to be governor forever, and when his successor takes office in 2019, Mainers of all political parties will have to work together to fix the damage he has done to our reputation. We hope that this person will be a leader who will welcome people of all races to live in Maine, and invest in our wonderful state.Until then, please accept our apology. Well try not to do it again.

U would think the state of Mississippi would step up and and say that Mr. Trump’s reckless comments are not welcomed in the state given the need of tourist dollars and the casino gambling that provides revenue..I have not heard one official step up and condemn Trump’s comments calling HRC a bigot( she fought discrimination in housing with the children’s defense fund where Trump’s/dad,etc was being sued for housing discrimination)
In 2010, 37% of Mississippians were African-Americans the highest percentage in any US state..with most supporting democratic candidates ( and are a majority in the counties of Mississippi-Yazoo delta( hope the Feds watch the vote in 2016)..has Haley Barbour stepped up)
SC, Indiana all heard the bell on what they want their state to represent..u can’t attract the best employees if people don’t want to go to a state that they feel are full of bigots…the killing of the civil rights activist stills remains a visible scar on the state( remember members of the kkk, sheriff department and police department) were indicted)
