@Jackie -

How is it bigoted and ignorant when Michelle Obama previously disclosed that Barack considers Kenya to be his "home country?"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBJihJBePcs

Is Michelle Obama lying? Did Barack lie to her?

Honestly what is Hoffa missing here?

It is sad that you guys on the left are race baiting as much as you possibly can before this election - Hoffa thought that we were getting beyond such blatant displays of racism, but apparently not!

Thanks for taking us 50 years backwards!

"What an bigoted, ignorant person."
Yes Jackie, you just described yourself perfectly.

I am in total agreement with you. These kind of people have no business in politics as they are ignorant and ill informed. It should be enough for any person to know that had President Obama been born in Kenya or anywhere else but America the Republicans would have jumped on it long before this.

This is not news..it's grasping at straws. How about the anti-Israel ads that Baldwin is suing about that reveal her radical stance on Israel. Jason's comments are nothing. Graeme Zielinski is ignorance on display..you folks are truly sad. Always the ones to sling mud.

Thomson is ignorant racist, but it doesn't matter. Romney will never be President.

@Hoffa - Apparently Thompson's own campaign managers felt the comment was racist and bigoted and uncalled for, otherwise they wouldn't have apologized for it now, would they?

Hurry up and buy your shares on Romney at Intrade. You can get 2-1 on your money if he wins.

A.j. Simkatu wrote: "Thomson is ignorant racist, but it doesn't matter..."

Are you talking about Jason or Tommy? Jason made the comments and Tommy responded appropriately. It was a bad joke poorly executed. Regardless, this shouldn't affect Tommy Thompson's campaign any more than, say, Gwen Moore's son slashing tires on Republican get out the vote vans.

What is more disturbing is the you tube video "Obama and Khalid Mansour." There's a facebook post on Walker Walkers of Fort Atkinson facebook page that traces some of the Saudi Oil monies going to American universities since WWII when we wanted diplomats trained for overseas positions. Then research King Fahd and you'll see how billions have been given to major colleges and even smaller ones to set up Mulim studies departments and to appoint Muslim professors to political science departments, etc.. If you folks aren't willing to do the homework-that will show ignorance!

@A.j. Simkatu -

Thompson doesn't think for Hoffa - only Hoffa thinks for Hoffa, thank you very much! And Hoffa stands by his original comment, no matter what anyone else says, because it's wholly supported by objective facts and reaches a logical conclusion premised upon those facts.

Thompson is just playing it safe for political/electoral reasons.

We should really THANK "W" for taking us 50 years backwards.

The problem is that Obama is an undocumented illegal immigrant evidenced by his own admission when he stated that he is more popular in his country of birth than in America. I want to see his school records, which will show that his country of birth is Kenya.

If I had half the money to send Barack back to Kenya, I would send the ENTIRE Obama family back to Kenya, half way.

"We should really THANK "W" for taking us 50 years backwards.

WHAT???

Arthurp No President Obama is a U.S. citizen and believe me if he was not he would not be the President of the United States of America. To be the president you have to meet many requirements and one is being a U.S. citizen, but to you idiots that will never meet with your low information and very unintelligent minds. I hate birthers and I hate ignorance but there is a lot of ignorance in the republican party and many of you commenters are a big success for the GOP billionaires who want people to be ignorant and believe their lies and not have the sense to see that the GOP is for billionaires and no one else.

What office is Jason Thompson running for?

It's unfortunate that we can't send you and your ilk to Kenya and infact to anywhere but America. Your ignorance is astounding.

I think Mitt Romney will end up being more popular in his country of birth (Mexico) or one of the many countries he keeps his money in so he doesn't have to pay taxes on it like most Americans.

Babykit, here is your base

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CqHPZteJ7rI

@samantha frangos -

First you alleged some kind of racism here, and then make a disparaging remark about Mexico and Romney? A bit hypocritical here, don't you think?

And when did Romney ever refer to Mexico as his "home country?" To the contrary, Obama has on many occasions referred to Kenya as being his "home country."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBJihJBePcs

If you can't see the difference, then perhaps it's your ignorance that is astounding!

This is the republican base. They want those lies and want to believe those lies. It works so well for the party of republican billionaires.

veryvila-who is misinformed. You think that everyone voting GOP is a billionaire?? I make $11 an hour..really a rich person. This election is about who holds my values; and it is not Baldwin. She voted 4 times against Iran sanctions, voted against an appropriations bill for military funding that gave them body armour, ammo, weapons, etc. and also included hurricane relief and border security..all things I am for. The billionaire comments are repeated rhetoric from your news sources MSNBC and the other left wing propaganda news. Since when has working hard to be successful been a bad thing-Since Barrack Obama has been in the White House. Now success is scorned. Romney donated 30% to charity-are you saying he doesn't care? What a dolt you are. All the nasty stuff the Dems have done-the latest stuff is beat up Chad Lee's campaign manager, and Sen. Neal Kedzie's son was also beat up when he yelled to a liberal tearing his Romney sign out of his yard. Physical violence-and your worried about a Kenya statement. Go watch Obama's 2016 and then let's talk. I dare you.

Baldwin needs all the help she can get from patch.

@Steve ® -

Apparently so. Hoffa is calling this entire (non)story out as representing little more than extreme liberal media bias!

Hoffa thought that Patch adhered to higher journalistic standards.

Where are the stories about how many people in the gay and lesbian groups that support Baldwin have said false and defamatory things about Thompson and Romney/Ryan?!?!

Liberal Media Bias - SHAME ON YOU PATCH!!!

Just the other day Tommy's cousin's housekeeper said Obama has his brother locked up in a hut in Kenya. Has Mark broke this news yet?

@Steve ® -

You mean the news that Tommy's cousin is wealthy enough to afford a house-keeper?

Definitely Pulitzer material ;-p

Oh man that's a three part article and fit for the Sunday talk shows.

ok, Barack considers Kenya is his home country......so what's your point?

What's the point of the article. Is this really hard to understand?

At the very least, don't Kenyans deserve to see hope and change up close too?

why, because he is black?

Please provide proof that he was born in Kenya. We have all seen the proof that he was born in America now provide a birth certificate saying he was born in Kenya. I am sure that your ignorance will only be matched by your lack of proof.

@samantha frangos -

Michelle Obama definitively stated that Barack considers Kenya to be his "home country."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBJihJBePcs

So, what's the big deal exactly? Why are Thompson's son's comments "ignorant and ill informed?"

Did you not know that Barack considers his home country to be Kenya? Wouldn't that in fact make you the "ignorant and ill informed" one on this board?

curious to know why u used dusky

Let's see Willard's dad was born in Mexico and could NOT qualify for a Presidential race. Soooo, let's sent the Romney's back to Mexico? Since, he kinda wishes he was a Latino anyways--kinda looks Latino more than Anglo Saxon

@Arapiklos -

Romney never asserted that Mexico was his "home country," unlike Barack Obama who regularly asserts that Kenya is his "home country."

Big difference!

@Walter -

That Rolling Stone article is a joke - it's filled with assumptions, speculations, conjecture, supposition, hearsay and everything else other than HARD OBJECTIVE FACT!

It's little more than the gutter press running a political smear/hit piece.

If you're using that piece upon which to form your opinion, then you're not being very open minded or fair.

When it comes to politics/ideology, Rolling Stone is as far left as Mother Jones and the Daily Kos - it's little more than biased propaganda parading as 'real' news.

Try again!

Don't care much for Hawaii, but I hear they have really good weed there, I got that from Choom Head Obama, Punahou School Choom Head Obama, who likes his weed, and I bet he didn't pay any taxes when he was selling, in Hawaii.

@Veryvila -

Michelle Obama definitively stated that Barack considers Kenya to be his "home country."

Did you not know that Barack considers his home country to be Kenya?

What color kool aid did we drink today? Was it purple?

No, He'll send them to war in 3 different countries. He promises jobs with no plan that he can describe but the GOP wants WAR...WAR makes them richer and gets rid of the 47% he doesn't care about.

Hey, Veryvila, did you ever check to see how many Democratic Politicians do the same thing, oh, they're not running for president, but, they send jobs overseas too, and have overseas accounts too, but let's just ignore these facts, our hatred is directed at Romney at the moment, isn't it, you bigot.

LOL @ Veryvila
Another brainwashed idiotic moron who pukes out the crap stuffed into its puny brain.

If you are soooo interested in Obama why don't you read the book that was recently published by David Maraniss. He spent several years researching it which involved hundreds of interviews and travel to places like Kansas, Hawaii and Kenya. Maraniss has plenty of documents to show that Obama was born in Hawaii btw.

As long as your mind is closed, the truth will never get in.

They're called false documentations, but who cares, let's spread the lies, it's soooo much fun! Lier, lier, pants on fire! Truth be known comes from Obama, but he won't give up his college documents which will show that he is from Kenya, and is an undocumented illegal immigrant.

Why won't Romney release all of his tax records and not just part of the 2010 and 2011 returns? Why won't Romney release several years worth of tax returns like other presidential candidates have? Romney's own father released 12 years worth of returns. And why won't Romney release his birth certificate and school records?

Molly Brown:

Romney released a copy of his birth certificate in May 2012.

If Obama hasn't released his school records, why would one expect that Romney should?

Because his records show his education was financed by a Saudi King..the libs refuse to do their homework on the facts. They like to think they are sooo smart, but they are sheeple who regurgitate what R. Maddow, and crazy Ed tell them every night. And his grades aren't that good. Doesn't this smell of a huge ploy to infiltrate our government. A possible non-citizen, financed by the middle east, with not much of a record excepting community organizing-now president???

@Cazzie -- Do you have a link to back up that assertion about President Obama's education being financed by a Saudi king? I'd be interested in seeing that, as I am not a 'sheep'.

You apparently ignore all of Obama's Kenya connections and just race bait. I thought we were behind this race nonsense after Obamas election.

@Amanda Jones -

Michelle Obama definitively stated that Barack considers Kenya to be his "home country."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBJihJBePcs

So, what's the big deal exactly? Why are Thompson's son's comments indicative that a "racial problem still exist[s]?"

Did you not know that Barack considers his home country to be Kenya? Wouldn't that in fact make you the one who's race baiting here?

@Amanda
Yeap. 98% of blacks will vote for Obama solely due to race. Racism is very much prevalent in the black community, thank you for stating that!

@Josh Alexander -

So, Obama can joke about Kenya, but Thompson's son can't?!?!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se5zvGF6u9g

What a strange and hypocritical double standard you liberals have!

Son = she. Steve is confused maybe purple wasn't a good flavor of kool aid to drink tonight.

@Josh Alexander -

Hoffa has NEVER heard anyone born here refer to the "blood line" nation of their ancestry as being their "home country." If you were born here, then wouldn't this be your home country? Hoffa was born here, but has roots in England, Russia, Italy, and Bohemia, and yet, he has never once referred to any of those other nations as his "home country."

Even if we accept your premise, what's so wrong with saying that you want to send a politician back to the nation of their blood line ancestry that they openly hold out as being their "home country?"

Again, why is this news?

Unemployed by the Obama economy or just a paid poster from Connecitit? Or just a slow night on the east coast wanting to spread some copy pasta ?

@Ettore Greco -

Did you miss your flight to Guyana?

Ettore = bertrand... 2 wackos who probably post from the insane asylum

FunnE how most , if not all, of the problems you mentioned were exacerbated by the Bushies and when the Dems were given a chance to reverse what the Bushies did the Repubs said & say 'hell no, we'd rather sabotage all your efforts, especially since you dared to put Obama in office'. Weep what you sow in the past present & future. Good Luck America!

@josh -

What exactly did Bush do to "exacerbate[]" the issues cited by dee murray?

Clinton was actually the cause of most the ills our society now faces - NAFTA, favored trading nation status to China, deregulation of financial banks, etc. Perhaps you should try doing your homework beyond the liberal propaganda machine for a change!

chazzman444, the best part of you ran down your momma leg.

@Chazzman444 -

Why do Romney's tax records concern you so much for? How do his tax records change his asserted policy positions in either is five point plan or his 57 point plan?

When George Romney was Governor of Michigan, the state was prosperous. State and federal office buildings in Lansing are named after him, out of such recognition.

Hoffa used to live in Lansing, MI. Granholm was a disaster that Michigan continues to pay the price for! And most of Detroit's ills are directly resultant of the local tax and spend Democratic regime that controls the City and surrounding Counties - it's almost as corrupt as the Chicago Democratic political machine.

Why does Mitt being LDS have such a bearing on your opinion - are you a religious bigot? The LDS are actually very successful in their humanitarian outreach efforts to people of all faiths.

States being sold to China?!?! Isn't that exactly what Obama is doing by adding $6T in new debt under his watch, after complaining about how Bush was allegedly unpatriotic for adding $4T over 8 years?

You say to vote your mind, but you apparently haven't thought your decision through very well!

ROMNEY/RYAN/THOMPSON 2012!!!

Thank for that well thought out comment Chazz. It shines with honesty amongst the right wing Fox watching morons comments for republican billionaires to return the country to spend, spend and more spending but for the greed and corruption that the GOP billionaires always want from the govt. Just not when a Democrat is fixing their mess. Right wing greedy policies that brought the country to a financial meltdown because of their anti-regulation is so great agenda. President Obama will need four more years to repair the harm done by Bush and his rubberstamping republicans who did not care about the deficit, or the people of America or the country prospering. Just war and more war with Iran.

@John -

Where's the hateful crap exactly?

What's hateful is you calling republicans "sick" and "Brown shirts."

First off, the government doesn't own and operate restaurants - you apparently mean a privately owned restaurant open to the public to patronize. The woman you describe in Arizona would have been arrested for DC while on private property after having been asked by management to alter her attitude or leave and refusing to comply with such request.

But an anti-Obama rant in an of itself is a constitutionally protected right, just as you guys on the left are free to spew out anti-republican/conservative rants in the appropriate places. It's called the 1st Amendment - you may want to look it up!

Who wants to "wear arm bands and have special privillages and authority over everyone?" What a bunch of nonsense, or as Joe Biden would say "malarkey" or "bunch of stuff!"

Hating makes you the sick and hateful brown shirt, doesn't it?

Also a great comment John.

@Steve ® -

Hoffa suspects that you're on to something!

Romney or McCain are not president. Or withholding their BS

I like this...Well said. Also consider this, that speech he made about not caring about the 47%.(SO--Big deal)... Well, the 200-250 people that were there paid $50,000 for the dinner. That's more then the 47% and many more across the country make in a year just to here him speak. That's scarry.

They certainly are not withholding their BS and it smells.

Your 2+ years behind if you mean birth certificate..He produced it and it was verified but the BIGOTED GOP will not except it. Births continue to demonstrate the stupidity of the GOP. You actually embarrass a lot of the GOP. Even the talking heads..the high priced asses on the radio have pretty much given up on the birth certificate crap.

Molly Brown:

Romney released a copy of his birth certificate, and I guess you don't remember, but McCain's birth status did come up during his campaign.

@molly brown -

Michelle Obama definitively stated that Barack considers Kenya to be his "home country."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBJihJBePcs

So, what's the big deal exactly? Why are Thompson's son's comments "racist?"

Did you not know that Barack considers his home country to be Kenya?

1) McCain's birth status was an issue explored by the media and a birth certificate was immediately produced by his campaign.

2) Why does it matter if Romney's father was born in Mexico? George has passed on and is not running for President. Can anyone here say red herring?

Are you honestly this out-of-touch with reality?

Hey, get this one, Obama, Biden, and Clinton are pimps for all the Democrack ho's, like Reid, Pelosi, and the Heterophobic Terrorists, Homosexist Patriots, and all the rest.

You sound rather like a bigot yourself, John.

@John -

Did you miss your flight to Guyana?

@Arapiklos -

The country has never had a $10T deficit - what in the hell are you talking about?

As far as accumulated debt is concerned:

When W took office, the national debt stood at $5.727T
When W left office, the national debt stood at $10.628T

Source: http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/NPGateway

Accordingly, Bush added $4.901T over 8 years.
At the end of his term, Obama will have added over $6T in 4 years.

Seeing as how you can't even get this information correct, Hoffa won't bother assessing the remainder of your ill-informed conclusions.

Next time, do your homework a little better, stick to primary sources, and stop relying upon the liberal propaganda machine!

@josh -

Race baiting again?

Yes the racists are the ones who are Kenya, Kenya and more Kenya. The fact is these people are the one who want their Social Security, their Medicare and their Medicaid that won't be there much longer. Republican Paul Ryan's budget voucherizes Medicare. He and most of the tea party in our Congress are wealthy and don't care about the middle class or the poor. They sure don't care about them having any benefits. But republicans by all means stab yourselves in the back because you only watch the republican network run by republican billionaires Richard Murdock and Roger Ailes and also owned by a Saudi Prince. Just right wing trash against President Obama and Democrats around the clock. Sadly it is the Democrats who want to protect those benefits, but they will be gone with more republicans elected and a republican president. You get what you vote for and you get what you deserve.

Nope, Hoffa is just sick of the left wing crap. Hoffa can't accept it as American ideals so it's got be Marxist/Leninist influenced from people like President Obama, who believes in redistribution of wealth, Van Jones, Nancy Pelosi, Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, and the likes of Al Sharpton, Martin Bashir. You get my point.

See how that can go both ways?

Way to be divisive though!

@nyambe moes jefferson -

Why isn't it right?

It's different because Biden's a Democrat and the automatic assumption is that he hasn't a racist bone in his body. And he was actually seeking office himself. In other words, it was worse when Biden did it, but he's "ole crazy uncle" Joe (D) and he gets a pass.

That being said, anytime you put a Thompson in front of a bunch of people, all bets are off - a trait passed down to the next generation, apparently. Ed and Tommy were notorious before the day of surreptitious camera phone recording. It was inevitable something would come out at some point. So far, they've done a pretty good job of keeping Tommy out of trouble. Guess they should have kept a closer watch on the offspring. One way or the other, it was only a matter of time....

My brain is all mashed now Bob. We were essentially told, it's safe to invite 'crazy ole Uncle Joe' over to carve a little Turkey, at the Thanksgiving table. But, apparently now, 'crazy ole uncle Tommy' is going to be a danger to us, and the cranberry sauce? Nobody can 'stick-it-to-em' Turkey like 'crazy ole uncle Tommy'.

We were counting on the both of them, to bring their giblets and their stuffing!

It's kind of like mothers versus mothers-in-law, Jay. Mom's an angel, mom-in-law is the spawn of Satan.

(Disclaimer: The personalities ascribed above bear absolutely no resemblance to those of persons who may have had a relationship of a similar nature to the person ascribing the same.)

When has any other President in our nation's history asserted and held out a foreign nation as being their "home country," as Obama has done? Kinda makes a big difference, doesn't it?

Don't worry Vicki, I'll vote twice for Thompson.

@CowDung....Those of us who know about Temple Garments don't call them holy underwear. The proper terms are "Angel Chaps or Jesus Jammys".

@H.E. Fannypacker...What are you going to do, take advantage of all your non de plumes? As Shakespeare wrote: "A rose by any other name would spell as sweet". However, in your case rotten fruit by any other name would still spell rotten.

So, what's the big deal exactly and why does this show that "Republicans are bigots, misogynists, and elitists?"

You appear to be race baiting and negatively stereotyping - why?

Perhaps if you had a more open mind and were more well informed with facts, as opposed to propaganda, you'd understand why people support the GOP.

@CowDung...It's a case of disrespect that 'Jack Mormons' use against the more observant Mormons.

So what type of Mormon are you, Lyle?

You comments are right wing trash Hoffa and so are yours H.E. Spew your venom that is what republicans do best. Racism is a safe place for those who won't see the great work that President Obama did to save the American auto industry. They won't see how the Recovery Act saved over two million jobs and created many as well. They won't give the President credit for making sure he went after Osama bin Laden for killing thousands of people in New York. No they only want more republicans who want to end and cut programs but will increase the military more than the Pentagon wants. Believe you liars and face the consequences when you or your loved ones are cut off from benefits they need to live a decent life.

Take your closed minded bigotry elsewhere, Ms. Bennett.

OK, Hoffa gets it now - Bennett is a religious bigot!

It all makes sense now!

Great comment Vicki. You are one great woman for honesty and decency which the GOP has little if any left. Women should reject all the republican attempts against birth control, family planning and Planned Parenthood. They should know that the republicans instead of doing one thing after taking over Congress in 2010 on jobs. They did not work one minute to create any jobs. They lied. But they did go right after women's rights to decide what they can do concerning birth control, invitro-fertilization and abortion. Voting 300 times against the Affordable Care Act really magnifies how little these right wing republicans spent in any way doing the people's business of helping the country. It was non-existent.

How exactly has the 'GOP base' (apparently being represented here by Jason Thompson) been behaving, Randy? Is it truly racist or hateful to talk about sending Obama 'back' to the land of his ancestry?

I'm seeing much more bigotry and intolerance coming from those on the left on this thread than JT's 'Let's send Obama back to Kenya' comment...

Yes, CowDung, it is racist to say that, and if you don't see the problem you're part of it.

What exactly makes it racist? It isn't exactly a secret that Obama's father is Kenyan, and there was speculation that Obama was born there...

...and in anticipation of your response, it wasn't Obama's race that caused the speculation about his birthplace--being Black doesn't trigger the assumption that one isn't a natural born citizen. Nobody questioned Jesse Jackson, Alan Keyes, Herman Cain, et al. about their citizenship status. It was the fact that he had spent so much of his childhood overseas that initiated the speculation.

@Randy1949 -

Honestly - NO.

Michelle Obama definitively stated that Barack considers Kenya to be his "home country."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBJihJBePcs

So, what's the big deal exactly?

What other President in our nation's history has ever referred in public, to their "home country" as being anything other than America? Obama has referred to Kenya as being his "home country" on multiple occasions and even in his self authored books.

So why is such a comment from Thompson's son so outrageous for? What is Hoffa missing?

What a shame that WI has shown to have another bigoted birther--the son of Tommy!!

morninmist, Birthers are not necessarily racist. They would love to have Barack Hussein Obama's presidency invalidated and his policies overturned. They hold onto this hope not because he is African-American, but because of his Socialist agenda.

Jason Thompson just made a bad tie in to the Birther theory with a bad joke. It doesn't mean he's a racist and it doesn't necessarily mean he's a Birther.

Just a poor comedian!

@Nancy K -

What's even more shameful is how the left seemed to have gravitated to this (non) story, as opposed to focusing on the issues. Apparently, if your you don't have a positive record to run on, trash your opponent with the assistance of the liberal MSM.

@morninmist -

Where's the bigotry here?

The real bigotry lies in all the race baiting being done by your fellow lefties on this board, not to mention the religious bigotry being spewed by the left and directed towards Romney, and yet you're completely silent as to that!

When are you guys on the left going to grow up and start focusing on the issues, as opposed to irrelevant side-shows such as this?

Real Clear Politics shows Romney ahead with all of the momentum going his way. This Reuters poll is a real grasp at the proverbial straw. With a +-10 point MOE, it could actually be 41-40 Romney.

The TeaGOP has no class.

Ann Coulter Ann Coulter ‏@AnnCoulter

Arlen Specter has just switched to the Dead Party.

As we noted with Tommy's 38-year-old lawyer son, or Todd Akin, or Roger ('Rape Easy') Rivard, what has happened to these Republicans?

Watts wrote: "It is because Republicans keep acting like this and saying such divisive things, that is why Obama has a huge lead in early voting...."

What else have the Republican's said Watt? Your statement implies there are many other instances. Can you name one or two?

@ Avenging Angle

The RCP is...

1) The newest data shows Obama up by 3 nationally:

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/polls/261957-poll-obama-has-49-46-lead-nationally-ahead-of-second-debate

The RCP average that you are quoting includes polls that concluded as far back as the 9th. The momentum is clearly with Obama going into the debates.

2) The reuters article is even more relevant than any others, because this is the poll about what people have done and not what people may do, if they actually vote. The proverbial "bird in the hand."

@Watts -

So how exactly have the extremely divisive comments from the Obama/Biden administration, such as "they're going to put y'all back in chains," and "I believe in redistribution," not to mention from Dems in general such as "the Tea Party wants Blacks hanging on a tree," etc. worked out for the Democrats?

The Democrats are just as, if not even more divisive than the Republicans!

@Hoffa

1) you are pulling from years to come up with a couple fo examples from Democrats, when there isn't a day that goes by that the Republicans don't say something objectifying people by race, gender or religious beliefs.

2) Even in your examples, there isn't anything inherently divisive about redistribution. You may not believe in it, but there isn't anything fundamentally divisive about it. I am a business owner for the past 15 years and I always thought that we pay a ridiculously low amount of taxes and I have always had our accountants on board with us paying our fair share. Similarly, you can find multitudes of millionaires, billionaires and business owners who think similarly, all the way up to Warren Buffett. So you can only say that is divisive up to the point that some people believe that the wealthy should be putting more back into the system that enabled them to get there...and then some people don't.

@Watts -

Biden's comment was made fairly recently, and there are plenty of other examples from local as well as national players in the Democratic Party - Hoffa was just using the big ones. Because of MSM bias, not many divisive Dem comments get national or even regional attention.

And if you don't consider all the class warfare rhetoric coming from the Obama/Biden campaign to be divisive, then you are clearly in denial and have drank too much of the liberal kool-aide.

Please post a copy of your last tax return, with the personal info redacted, wherein it shows that you paid more than your required share of taxes because you believe that you pay too little and wanted to contribute even more than you legally owed to the government.

Bottom line - if you can't do this, then you aren't for real.

I never said more than I had to pay. What we do as a corporation is not take advantage of any available loopholes that are commonly taken by similar corporations.

And guess what, ya goofball, just because I am not going to waste that much time having accounting pull up return, edit them, create a webpage to post a link to, etc. in no way delegitimizes what we do. Your claims, logic and conclusions are childlike. Move on, because I can't be bothered dummying everything down to the troll level that you dwell at.

@Watts -

Hoffa gets it - you talk the talk but don't walk the walk.

There's a word that describes you perfectly - hypocrite!

@Greg -

Hoffa can't blame the Kenyans for not wanting him - look at all he has done for us!

Watts-feel free to donate as much as you'd like into the tax fund. I don't see Warren Buffett donating on his own either..talk is cheap!

Birthers are past tense. Even Rep Ryan's office sends out a copy of President Obama's long form birth certificate when Birthers write.

???

morninmist is off in her own little world again.

You do know the difference between a Keynesian and a Kenyan, right? Never underestimate the willful ignorance of a liberal democrat.

Is sending him back to Chicago racist?

"Even if he was just some guy on the street, some guy who said he was from Kenya, if you tell him he should go back there, you are being racist."

What if it's a white guy?

Has Obama eliminated deportation authority of ICE? If he hasn't, then I guess he's a racist for having people sent back to their home countries...

Why exactly is that statement racist? Would it be racist to tell me to go back Germany because my grandfather was from there? You simply see a poorly executed comment on a controversy (real or imagined it is pretty substantial) surrounding the President, and because Barack Hussein Obama is African-American, you just have to throw the "Racist" label on it.

To paraphrase Sigmund Freud, sometimes a bad joke is just a bad joke!

@The Anti-Alinsky: Certainly if someone suggests you go back to Germany because of your German ancestry, that is racist. Just as the anti-Irish sentiment of the late 1800's was racist. Racism is any negative judgement, suggestion, opinion, etc. that is reached by reference to the target's ancestry.

This isn't really vague in anyway. It should have been taught by family far before leaving elementary school. You don't attack people because of generalities of their perceived origin.

Looking for some way to spin it so that he should have been allowed this comment is a sickness. If somehow you were raised such that this is okay because it's politics, or meant as a joke, or has been said by others, then you were simply raised wrong. You do not make negative judgements on someone based on their perceived origins. Period. Not as a joke. Not in "good fun". You don't do it.

And you don't get upset that the racist label is being used correctly. Again, it only illustrates an inner self that may not want to be shown widely.

ex0du5:

Is it being suggested that Obama go back to Kenya because he is Kenyan or is it being suggested that Obama go back to Kenya because Kenya is his homeland?

According to morninmist. Bren, ex0du5, you must be since you are inflicting your relative on the South Africans.

@Pennypacker....

You show your TeaGOP stupidity with a comment like that.

Meanwhile....slow but sure, Pres Obama will make a comeback.

@RalstonReports

NV Democrats are past 90,000 mark in a statewide lead over GOP. Yo, people, Nevada is a LEAN OBAMA state. http://www.ralstonreports.com/blog/democrats-now-sure-have-more-90000-voter-lead-statewide#.UHxtbGntg9Q … #GOPmachine

It will be good fun to rub morninmist's nose in her own filth when Romney/Ryan oust the Kenyan Klown and the Cheshire Cat(aka Plugs Biden)>

It's only news because you are trying to make it news. It was a poorly executed bad joke.
It doesn't mean Tommy Thompson is a racist.
It doesn't mean Jason Thompson is a racist.
If that statement were to make Tommy a racist, than you must be labelled an anti-Semite for insulting Hoffa as often as you do!

Actually I don't know if Hoffa is Jewish, but knowing how much you hate him for taking you to the woodshed so often, I figured he was the best person to use to illustrate the point!

hey anti
chew on this one!

@morninmist -

Yes birthers loved it. Just like all the people around Romney would have loved it. Just like all the people around most republicans would love it. We who are not republicans are sickened by the low information people who have no facts and have no decency and won't look up the facts that they are determined to believe but that are lies.
