Oh My: South Carolina Democrats Make Issue of Nikki Haley's Race

Dick Harpoolian is a nasty Democratic hack. He says things like calling Lindsey Graham light in the loafers, but of course the media never notices, because he's a Democrat, and he's doing it for a good reason.

He wants the world to know that Nikki Haley is lying when she says she's white. She's a dirty Indian, he needs you to know.

hat box should Gov. Nikki Haley check when it comes to her race?

The South Carolina Democratic Party tried Thursday to make Haley out as a liar for checking "white" as her race on her 2001 Lexington County voter registration application.

But the application had no specific option for "Indian." Her options were "white, black/African-American, Asian, Hispanic, Native American or other."

Dick Harpootlian, the Democratic Party chairman, said whether Haley listed her race as white or not doesn't matter to him. The point is, he said, that the governor has a pattern of twisting the truth.

"Haley has been appearing on television interviews where she calls herself a minority -- when it suits her," Harpootlian said. "When she registers to vote, she says she is white. She has developed a pattern of saying whatever is beneficial to her at the moment."

Well, let's note for the record there are several races which do not fall comfortably into the four-square White/Black/Hispanic/Asian grid, and Indians are one of them.

Indians are, as Hitler might remind him, "Aryans," an authoritative racial classification that should appeal to Dick Harpoolian, coming as it does from his role model.

Remind me again who the Yahoo Backwards Racialists are again?

When the parties realigned, all the racists went to the Republican party, right?

Riiiiiight?
