The other side has been heard from…

Well, the LWL are out in full cry…


Rusty Depass, a South Carolina Republican, posted a comment on his Facebook page suggesting the gorilla that escaped form a local zoo was an ancestor of First Lady Michelle Obama. DePass posted the controversial comment shortly after hearing of the gorilla’s escape, saying: “I’m sure it’s just one of Michelle’s ancestors — probably harmless.”

Of course the left has called comment was racist and unacceptable. He was apparently outed by a SC blogger who found the comment on Facebook and posted it last week. Huffpo and numerous others are piling on as fast as they can..

Following outrage over the remark, DePass removed the comment from the social networking site and apologized, claiming the comment was a joke and he was only referencing Obamas past comments on evolution.

Facebook decided to “un-friend” DePass and completely removed his Facebook page from the site.


So much for equal opportunity and freedom of speech- Guess that ONLY goes one way…

The Columbia, SC Mayor released a statement saying: “You know, I don’t think there’s anything funny about that comment. That is the first lady of the United States. We’ve had a long tradition of wonderful first ladies, and I don’t think any of them deserve that type of comment.” Gee, where was the “love” for Sarah Palin and her daughter???

Why wasn’t DePass given a pass like Letterman???


Makes ya think doesn’t it… sigh…

  2. It’s only a double standard when there are two standards. Here, there is only the ‘variable’ standard we are held to, and the total lack of standards they are held to.
