"Negro Caucus" Corey Stapleton Wants to Run for Governor

by: Matt Singer

Tue Jul 20, 2010 at 07:23:16 AM MST


This is interesting. Corey Stapleton is apparently running for Governor in 2012.

That reminded me immediately of this story from back in the day, when Corey Stapleton both cracked a joke about the Montana legislature's "Negro caucus" not objecting to working on Martin Luther King, Jr., day and then implied the day carries the same meaning as Groundhog Day.

The result of that "joke?" Corey lashed out at anonymous me (hint: I'm not actually anonymous) for criticizing him for his racially inappropriate humor.

He then later called for regulation of speech on the Internet.

In other words, Corey Stapleton is a thin-skinned, racially insensitive, Constitution-trampling individual. We'll let you know once the field emerges whether he can count on this site's endorsement.

Update -- I misread that last link. Mr. Stapleton did not call for regulation of speech as far as I can tell. My apologies.

While Stapleton did cracked a racist joke in the legislature and then blamed you for it, and he did kick off the hostilities in the 2007 legislature, he did not actually call for the regulation of speech on the Internet.

Adjust your thoughts on endorsement accordingly.

It's a  disgrace. That a conservative political hack can post an out-of-comment segment of tape from a speech made 24 years ago to accuse the speaker of saying the exact opposite of what she actually said, and was forced to resign from the USDA over it.

There's a special circle of Hell waiting for Breitbart. The Obama administration should hang its head in shame over its gutless response to the right-wing noise machine. And the media's gutless hacks won't be covering the flap, you can bet.

Fury has given me fat fingers. "Out-of-comment" should be "out-of-context."
