GOP activist uses Facebook to compare first lady to gorilla (Rape OK, Gorilla Outrageous)
CNET ^ | 6/15/2009 | Staff

You see, according to a report by WIS10 TV in Columbia, S.C., Rusty DePass, a prominent Republican Party activist, happened to see a Facebook post by an aide to state Attorney General Henry McMaster.

The post described an escape by a gorilla on Friday from the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia.

DePass, once a state Senate candidate, responded to the post with these words: "I'm sure it's just one of Michelle's ancestors - probably harmless."

--

Columbia Mayor Bob Coble appears to have seen no clear jest at all. He told WIS10: "You know, I think the comment is inappropriate. It's a racist comment."

I’m not. To the contrary, we can and should criticize them for each misstep, for each disasterous policy and bill, for each betrayal of the people and nation. We just shouldn’t make it easier for them to undermine us.

"Why not agree that both were idiotic?"

Why not point out obvious double-standards?

Is it me or does the press characterize any GOP member involved in any controversy as being “prominent” even though we have never heard of them? Maybe it’s me.

Bush was called a chimp for eight years.

Yes, but by morons! I don't want to sink to their level.

Every time a liberal really screws up in public, the democrats MORAL EQUIVALENCY RESEARCH SQUADS take to the field, rooting out republican acts of transgress, minor or major, that they can blow up and exaggerate to cite examples of “they do it too”.

The media not only aid and abet these witch hunts, they lead the way as the faithful suckling servants of the dishonest left.

In that photo, all bochelle was missing was her (BET b-ball cap on backwards,a BET silk jacket)and a raised clenched black gloved fist salute.

Have you noticed that the FR has attracted quite a few of those obumo metro-sexual anarchists floating trolls lately?

As it goes, a picture “says a thousand words.”

That picture cracks me up every time I see it. It looks like Michelle is seriously considering taking a bite out of Sarkozy’s throat.

Sounds like something Letterman would say.

Remember how the left came out with articles/studies on the benefits of lying during the Clinton scandals?

"I'm sure it's just one of Michelle's ancestors - probably harmless."

That's mean. I've always thought of gorillas as cute.

My opinion: both the "Michelle/gorilla" and the "let's have some perverts jump Sarah's children" comments were inappropriate. Letterman was far worse, but both were completely out of line.

The person who posted the comment is an idiot. Always assume that ANYTHING you post on the Internet, even a “private” email, will eventually be read by everybody.

I think Eddie Murphy was very close to reality when he related his cookout experience with his Uncle Gus.

“Your wife’s a bigfoot, isn’t she Gus. You shaved [her] down and taught her to speak.”

How is that different from this?
