I know you all are just shocked. SHOCKED, I tell you, that a top aide to Tom Tancredo, has pled guilty in regards to a racially motivated hate crime. OMGOHNOES!!!! This cannot be???!!!
According to the Washington Independent:
On July 7, 2007, at approximately 7:15 p.m. at Jefferson and M Street, Northwest, in Washington, D.C., defendant was walking down the street making offensive remarks when he encountered the complainant, Ms. [REDACTED], who is African-American. The defendant uttered, "Nigger," as he delivered a karate chop to Ms. [REDACTED]’s head.
And just so you know how utterly shocking this is, Tom was the same self righteous dude who's been calling SCOTUS Nominee Sotomayor a racist.
TANCREDO: I’m telling you she appears to be a racist. She said things that are racist in any other context. That’s exactly how we would portray it and there’s no one who would get on the Supreme Court saying a thing like that except for a Hispanic woman and you’re going to say it doesn’t matter!
Now, a little about the moron himself. Marcus Epstein , according to his wiki page:
He is the founder of the Robert Taft Club, a monthly meeting of paleoconservative journalists and thinkers in the Washington, D.C. area.
Epstein is expected to be sentenced on July 8 for a simple assault charge to which he plead guilty. Court documents allege that Epstein struck an African-American female and called her a "nigger" on a street in Washington, D.C. on the evening of July 7, 2007. Epstein escaped from the woman's husband, who briefly detained him, only to be arrested by a Secret Service agent who witnessed the incident.[1]
So, let me sum this up, Epstein who is mixed race (need therapy much?) is apparently just not fond of the invasion of all the brown people.
Also, a Karate chop? For real? Really? Who DOES that???
I also find it Hi-LARIOUS that homeboy wrote an article entitled: "Transcending Race Can Get You The Black Vote" which had the working title of , "How To Karate Chop A Nigger If They Fail To Support Your Causes."
It includes this lovely quote:
It would be easy to engage in schadenfreude now that Clinton’s great "Initiative on Race" is catching up to him. Were it to stop with the Clintons, I’d be happy to watch them hoisted by their own petard, but it will not stop with them.
Which translated into Rethug is:
See! That's what happens when you support teh blacks! They rise up and defeat your wife for Pres so THERE!!!
And this guy is not an outsider. No, he wrote speeches for Tom Tancredo during his presidential bid, and he’s still working as the executive director of Tancredo’s Team America PAC. Oh, and Bay Buchanan works with them too. I wonder if they all study karate chopping minorities together?
And I bet the poor woman was at first in shock, like, "WTF did that insignificant little twerp just KARATE CHOP me??? Really?? Does he not know that being Asian doesn't make you instantly Bruce Lee??"
Also, according to TPM, he totally gets to keep his job.
Epstein pled guilty to the charge, but, according to Dave Weigel of The Washington Independent, he'll remain on the job "until he leaves for law school in the fall."
Just so you lurking RedStater's get it;
Karate Chopping vocal minority= OKAY. Publically Supporting A Democratic Position = HELLFIRE.
Oh, and here's our little Karate Chopping Conservative on FB. (Friends blocked out because Lord knows I don't wanna be judged by everyone who I'm FB friends with.)
