When Haley is elected governor, the first thing she can do is zero out South Carolina funding for NPR. Irony.

As I travel around the country and I go into the church, I can’t help but observe what I see.

Well gollee, I thought the commies over at NPR liked diversity and hate religion.

Why do they care all at once?

"The author is no journalist...

I've seen that before. It's fascinating to google the authors of local opinion pieces and find out they live half a continent away.

That line got me, too .. and I was born/raised in NY! I’ve always said no one .. absolutely no one .. is more chauvinistic than New Yorkers.

what u “see” doesn’t jibe with the facts nor what I “see” here in Nashville which is 28% black and 10% Mexican and Central American...considerably higher than most places

conservatism is about viewpoints based on empirical fact tempered with idealistic notion..to a point

So Hiney, honey-- re: Based on everything I've ever read or heard)))

Maybe you're just an ignorant, poorly travelled slut as well as a self-righteous bigot? I mean, I can WHISPER too! And louder.

Nikki's married to a Christian. It's perfectly reasonable to think she's converted. Exactly how easy is it to be an observant Sihk in the US, anyway? Most Hindus I have known do not practice, much less the more obscure Sihks. She's also been accused of sexual immorality, too. She's been called a "raghead" which generally refers to Muslims. Now she gets called a hypocrite by te likes of the ignorant slut, Sohini.

Is that something common to Indian women, Sohini? WHISPER.

Gawsh, how it frosts me that my tx money goes to foment crap like this...

80% of American’s don’t go to church even if they have a Christian background.

So much about empirical facts.

Look back at the thread, We are talking about stanch Christians. Those that are go to church, those willing to undergo torture. etc....

So how this became a much dumbed down conversation.

Someone that went to Sunday School for one weekend in the 1st grade doesn’t count.

There's the money quote. Bigoted Yankee.
What makes you think that this leftist of Indian descent is assimilated enough to be a Yankee?

The “c’mon, it’s only South Carolina not New York City” comment... She is either an assimilated, condescending Yankee or playing to her anti-southern NPR base.

Disgusting. Especially so that some Republicans were involved with this.

Has Barrett endorsed Haley yet? Or that moron State Senator who smeared her?

Barrett is a total jerk and an a$$hole. I'll be surprised if he endorses her. Likewise Jake "She's a fu**ing raghead" Knotts. It's scumbags like this that we're trying to replace in South Carolina. We're having some good success. Barrett is out. Inglis is out. Slowly we're doing it. I'm hoping Nikki's win in Nov will be like a turbocharger.

This is awful, what bigotry and racism this article is full of.

They can give it up though, Nikki will be our next governor and Jindal already is in LA so tough luck NPR.

This is the same crap that the democraps used against Bobby Jindal in LA. It worked the first time. They said that he was a Hindu and not a Catholic. The Catholics bought the disinformation and the fact that he was a little too brown for some then people caught on and now he is Governor.

People of SC tell the Dems where to go.

Since she is a convert to Christianity, the MSM thinks she is either a fool or a liar.

For that mindset there is no other excuse.

I’m slightly surprised the Haley staff or Drudge, Rush, Hannity etc haven’t highlighted this ugly whisper campaign that is being run via our tax dollars and a partisan donkey operative.

Truth be told, they had a big campaign saying he was Black, not of Indian heritage. It worked the first time, not the second.
