Somebody please photoshop boxing gear onto Palin.

It doesn't get much better than this.

Let's get her a teleprompter.

She should have known you never say the "W" word.

"Yeah, being white is a sin these days."

Only a venial one.

I wonder what Ms. Jenkin's constituents are going to say when they discover that Eric Cantor is Jewish?

OCU

Perhaps they'll designate him a JINO.

If Barry would get in touch with his white side everything would be peachy.

You had one...Ron Paul...y'all didn't want him, remember?

If she had said something really stupid like, "The white cops acted stupidly," or "A wise Latino woman would make a better decision than a white guy," then she might be in real trouble.

Little lady showed everyone her freudian slip.

Great White Hope? I thought the GOPhers were looking for a token colored person to run for president?

How about lets not have legal rights for Corporations any longer. That way we can shut down their free speech right to bribe everyone in Washington.

Give Government back to the people.

Does she mean like Duane Bobbick, Gerry Cooney and
Gerry Coetzee? She's white-I mean she's right.

This is actually better than their other strategy for 2012-Running Mitt Romney in blackface.

GREAT WHITE HOPE? Does not sound like a GOOD idea GOPhers!

Remember what happened to the LAST Great White Hope?

HE GOT HIS ASS KICKED ALL ROUND THE WORLD!!!

THAT is what Rep Jenkins is advocating - that the next GOP presidential contender get their ass kicked and loose the election???

Wow it must REALLY SUCK to be a conservative right now! They are so frigging cornfused...

Or how about Michelle Bachmann in blackface and a strap on?

This would be an improvement from 2001-2008 when they had the Great White Dope!

Repubilcans just don't understand that they ARE racists.

There's a possiblity she doesn't really know what "Great White Hope" means.

I don't know if that is better or worse....

"Sorry, I don't mean to sound like an ignorant bigot, but I am one so that's how it comes out."

- U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins

Wasn't "Great White Hope" that glam band that accidentally lit its cumulative spandex on fire and burned down a bar and killed a bunch of stampeding metalheads?

If so, HELL YEAH! Get 'em in politics. Its been ten long years since there were groupies in the white House!!!

Although the characters' names were changed, The Great White Hope was a thinly veiled account of the trials and tribulations of boxer Jack Johnson, based on the play by Howard Sackler and directed by Martin Ritt. James Earl Jones stars as boxing great Jack Jefferson, who defeats Frank Bardy Larry Pennell in a Reno, Nevada bout to become the world's first black heavyweight champion. After crossing a state line with his white girlfriend Eleanor (Jane Alexander in her feature debut), however, Jack is arrested and tried under the miscegenation-barring Mann Act. Found guilty and sentenced to three years in prison, Jack escapes and leaves the U.S., but he's dogged by his now bad reputation and can't get honest work as a fighter. Offered his freedom from criminal charges if he'll agree to a fixed fight in Cuba that will restore the title to a white contender, Jack refuses and Eleanor commits suicide, their life on the run overwhelming her. Jack finally accepts the bout in Havana, but he fights his opponent with everything he's got. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

THAT is what Rep Jenkins is advocating - that the next GOP presidential contender get their ass kicked and loose the election???

No, she was advocting getting the Darky Dark out of the WHITE house.

Did you notice the crowd?

"Great White Hope" is someone Palin's "Real Americans" could vote for.

These Republicans don't even know that they are RACIST, It's just who they are. Filthy PIGS!!!!!

I take it this "Great White Hope" is being cut up on a mirror somewhere...

No shit. Boneheads who grow up with all the privileges of being a white male in our society, but who still can't achieve, are pathetic.

Give her a break. Its tough to get the right words
out through the Klan sheet.

Rep. Jenkins office is issuing new statements every ten minutes you get a new version explaining WHAT she meant!

She is backtracking away from this statement faster then James Jeffries backed down from Jack Johnson!!

Rep Jenkins has truly become the GREAT WHITE DOPE!

he he heh

I hear she is receiving guidance from Michelle
Bachmann and Sarah Palin as we speak.

I personally would like to see the republicans nominate an African American. Although, the media criticism would be his/her biggest hurdle. (see Clarence Thomas)

Tiger re:#21...As I read your suggestion, it occurred to me...who's the bend-over running mate?

Every should lay off her. I hate to defend her but she probably didn't know what the phrase really meant. Its been a long time since it was used in boxing. And everyone knows Republicans don't read books; especially history books.

Keep it up righties!

This is great stuff!

You mean this is another example of a leader of the GOP who did not KNOW WTF they were talking about?

Surprise surprise I thought that WAS the definition of a GOP leader: an ignorant politician who does not know what they are talking about!!!

"Muhammad Ali, greatly impressed with James Earl Jones' performance in the play, apparently commented to the actor, "That's my story. You take out the issue of white women and replace it with the issue of religion. That's my story!" Ali was fighting being drafted into the army at the time on grounds of being a conscientious objector."

I could name a few possibilities like
Michele Malkin (imagine Mich and Mich in Mish)or
Ann Coulter or Stink Eye Laura Ingrham. However,
it should be someone who could really appreciate the ass pounding. So obviously the best choice would be Rush Limbaugh.

This would be an improvement from 2001-2008 when they had the Great White Dope!

I think they're looking for an even Greater White Dope this time around.....

Well, it is a bit odd that after America finally elects an African American POTUS, the anti-white rhetoric on the DR is more prevalent than before he was elected. Just a little ironic, eh?

Robert Byrd (D-WV) is so proud!

"I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds. "

Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944,

Oh come on, "great white hope" is an old expression, and has nothing to do with race. And we all know it.

"I've got some real honest to God battles to fight, Leo. I don't have time for the cosmetic ones."
--Admrial Percy FitzWallace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, The West Wing.

This is already on wiki.

Great White Hope may refer to:

The Great White Hope, a 1967 play by Howard Sackler
The Great White Hope (film), a 1967 motion picture adapted from the play
Great White Hope (Song), a 1978 rock song by Styx on the Pieces of Eight (album),.
Great White Hope, Representative Lynn Jenkins (R-KS)'s theoretical "bright" Republican leader, but not necessarily caucasian.

Byrd has shown he can learn, grow and change his (1944) views. He's proven that you can overcome racist views. When idiots quote or refer to his KKK past, you aren't shining a light on Byrd, you're shining a light at yourselves.

But like Jenkins, you're too stupid to know the ramifications for what you say until it slaps you in the face. More fascinating is how that slap gets met with a bewildered stare.

Great White Float?...oh no wait, that was Mrs. Sarah, "I can see Russia from my doorstep" Palin

Dubya speak to make sense to
those on the other side of the aisle)...

I thought she said great white dope... referring to Biden.. and she shouldn't have said it. I like Joe.. we have so little fun left in politics these days.

I am waiting for the great Asian hope on either the GOP or Libtard Dem side of the aisle.

Before you libards get all full of glee, remember that current Democrat United States Senator Robert Byrd was a high ranking member of and recuiter in the Ku Klux Klan!!!!! Also the KKK was founded by Democrats during Reconstruction.

Here is a Youtube clip of Democrat Byrd using the term "White Nigger":

One person is one person, not an entire group of people, eh?

And Byrd wised up decades ago.
When do you suppose you might do that staff?

Wised up DECADES ago? he was using the term "White Niggers" in the late '90's. That was on the link to the YouTube clip I provided.

What about Biden's comments just last year about Obama?

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," he said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Have you seen this clip, "black" man?

Idaho Republican gubernatorial candidate jokes about hunting President Obama.
On Tuesday, Rex Rammell a Republican candidate for governor in Idaho joked to an audience that he'd like to hunt President Obama. The AP reports that it came up when conversation turned to Idaho's "planned wolf hunt, for which hunters must purchase an $11.50 wolf tag." Rammell remarked to an audience member that he'd like to purchase an Obama tag:

When an audience member shouted about "Obama tags," Rammell responded, "The Obama tags? We'd buy some of those."

The Democrat Party has a long and rich history of racism in America that goes back over 150 years.
#76 | POSTED BY UTASTAFF AT 2009-08-28 01:12 PM

That's right, our entire country has a history of racism against blacks and others of color. Dems included, up until the Civil Rights Act was passed, then those DIXIECRATS became repugs and helped vote reagan into office.....

But don't let me disturb your rw talking point and indoctrination there buddy.

I'm going to defend this woman. I doubt she even knows the origins of the phrase. I suspect she was just repeating a phrase she has heard but never really understood the meaning.

Secondly, whether she understands it or not, she is correct. Let's just be honest and acknowledge that the Republican party isn't about to elevate a non-white person to leader of the party. Yeah, they gave Michael Steele the role of top cheerleader but that's as far as he is going. If the Republicans are going to climb back to political significance at the national level it is is going to be behind the face of a white person, most likely a man.

Don't the repugs have Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Addict, Michael Savage, et al?

How many great white dopes does one party need?

There are a bunch of things that are white that can be related to hope:

light: like at the end of a tunnel
snow: like a good season for skiing
flour: for baking

Bringing the question of race into the discussion is immature, but not surprising.

I'm still appalled by a couple of two minute breaks with Faux and Beck yesterday during MSNBC commercials. Beck is about a ten on the ugly scale, a number he shares with Limbaugh. Coulter and Malkin.

The congresslady from The Dark Side is probably only about a three alongside them, but she does merit that much beause she had utterly no clue that she was badmouthing an entire people. herm

What does being ugly have to do with anything, herm?

Gee.. more GOP racism. How unexpected. ALL Republicans and Democrats complicit with the Iraq invasion should be removed from office and tried for treason.
