How long before some leftist says that Rummy called 0 an ape?
Yeah, that is gonna happen, even if he spoke the truth.
I am a decided Conservative, with the capital C...yet it sounds racist to say that to me. But, Obama should have some tough skin by now and take it like a man. Or not.
Many people of all political persuasions reflexively relate "ape" to people of African descent.
Personally, I blame Darwinism as much as any racist upbringing they might have endured.
Yes, Rummy could have made his point using "cats" instead of "apes" if he'd been measuring his words and stopped to consider what the actual racists would do with his remarks. But, I'm guessing he gladly gave up that nonsense upon retirement.
I thought he was talking about Moosechelle. Sorry.
