N. Carolina Republican Congressman admits saying, 'Liberals hate real Americans'

By GottaLaff

McCarthyism is alive and well, thanks to IWRC* Palin, Gramm-pa McCain, Michele Bachmann, Nancy Pfotenhauer, and now Rep. Robin Hayes:

A North Carolina congressman locked in a tight re-election race admitted Tuesday to recently telling a crowd of John McCain supporters that "liberals hate real Americans," the latest in a string of comments from Republicans that appear to question Democrats' patriotism.

Rep. Robin Hayes, a five-term Republican who has been heavily targeted by Democrats this election cycle, first denied making the remarks, but conceded Monday afternoon that he was accurately quoted.

"After reading it, there is no doubt that it came out completely the wrong way," Hayes said. “I actually was trying to work to keep the crowd as respectful as possible, so this is definitely not what I intended."

Excuse me this once, will you? Thanks: Bulls**t.

As first reported by the New York Observer, Hayes said, "Liberals hate real Americans that work and achieve and believe in God." [...]

Hayes' comments echo those of other Republicans in recent days that have drawn fire from Democratic circles. Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann said late last week she's concerned Barack Obama “may have anti-American views,” and suggested other liberal members of Congress also may be anti-American. [...]

Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin also drew fire from Democrats earlier this week when she suggested at a recent GOP fundraiser that she only likes to travel to "Pro-America parts of this great nation." [...]

In an interview with CNN Thursday, Palin apologized if her comments were interpreted to mean some areas of the country are more patriotic than others.

"I don't want that misunderstood," Palin said. "If that's the way it came across, I apologize."

Excuse me again, won't you? Thanks: Bulls**t.

McCain spokeswoman Nancy Pfotenhauer also turned heads when she said over the weekend that Northern Virginia, did not represent 'real Virginia' because of the influx of Democrats to the region in recent years.

Bachmann and Pftotenhauer haven't apologized.

Excuse me once again, if you would? Thanks: To quote Jon Stewart, "Pf*** you."

*"In What Respect, Charlie?"
