Rusty DePass
Prominent South Carolina Republican Rusty DePass has apologized for comparing Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle, to a gorilla.
DePass made the comment in a Facebook posting while discussing a recent story about a gorilla that escaped from a local zoo. “I’m sure it’s just one of Michelle’s ancestors – probably harmless,” DePass wrote.
The comment was picked up by liberal blogger Will Folks on his FITNEWS blog, who whined about it on Twitter and every other place he could find online.
“I am as sorry as I can be if I offended anyone,” DePass says. “The comment was clearly in jest.”
DePass added that, “The comment was hers, not mine,” claiming Michelle Obama made a recent remark about humans descending from apes.

Whined? Figures you wingnuts can’t even be bothered to care about this.
1. It was a non-apology.
2. He completely made up that Obama made statements supporting evolution.
But yes, keep sticking for cretins like Depass.
i agree, she does look like a gorilla
(no offence to the gorilla)
What goes for funny nowadays is just poor taste. How do you compare anyone to a gorilla and think it’s funny, especially the First Lady? I’m no Gisele Bundchen, but if we made it 4 years without talking about looks where Barbara Bush was concerned, it’s not a time to start.
She is a gorilla, she even admitted they all came from them. The Left apparently has nothing to do except let Obama own America and all of its monkeys!! There are so many petty and stupid people in the US! At least half!!
Patagonia Proud: Would you kick her out of bed?
Whined? Try denounced… as in: it is absolutely despicable, racist, and ignorant, let alone stupid…. really, really stupid, and back country hick… to compare anyone, let alone black people… to apes, monkeys and gorillas. Michele Obama, true, is a Democrat. That seems enough to convict her. Unfortunately, she is also an intelligent, well-educated, and classy lady. Classy. As opposed to the mouthbreathing knuckle draggers who think this “joke” was funny. This is Ku Klux Klan mentality. Von Dunn mentality. Bottom of the barrel, dysgenic, pinhead mentality. The Republicans need to clean house… fast. Really fast. Or none of us, who used to support them, are coming back.
There are some good Republicans who can represent real American values. And not this trailer trash, Jerry Springer, coterie. But where are they? Why don’t they speak up and take the Republican Party back to where they can defend conservative issues with intelligence and integrity, and denounce — themselves — the racist human vomit they allowed to proliferate in their midst.
RNC: Get your act together.
You be the judge.
Well said Former Republican….well said.
It appears America is slipping back into the racist cesspool that it worked so hard to climb out of.
an excerpt from for those of you who can read…..”Rooting out extremists is difficult because racism pervades the military, according to soldiers. They say troops throughout the Middle East use derogatory terms like “hajji” or “sand nigger” to define Arab insurgents and often the Arab population itself.
Quantcast
“Racism was rampant,” recalls vet Michael Prysner, who served in Iraq in 2003 and 2004 as part of the 173rd Airborne Brigade. “All of command, everywhere, it was completely ingrained in the consciousness of every soldier. I’ve heard top generals refer to the Iraq people as ‘hajjis.’ The anti-Arab racism came from the brass. It came from the top. And everything was justified because they weren’t considered people.”
Another vet, Michael Totten, who served in Iraq with the 101st Airborne in 2003 and 2004, says, “It wouldn’t stand out if you said ’sand niggers,’ even if you aren’t a neo-Nazi.” Totten says his perspective has changed in the intervening years, but “at the time, I used the words ’sand nigger.’ I didn’t consider ‘hajji’ to be derogatory.”
Geoffrey Millard, an organizer for Iraq Veterans Against the War, served in Iraq for 13 months, beginning in 2004, as part of the 42nd Infantry Division. He recalls Gen. George Casey, who served as the commander in Iraq from 2004 to 2007, addressing a briefing he attended in the summer of 2005 at Forward Operating Base, outside Tikrit. “As he walked past, he was talking about some incident that had just happened, and he was talking about how ‘these stupid fucking hajjis couldn’t figure shit out.’ And I’m just like, Are you kidding me? This is Gen. Casey, the highest-ranking guy in Iraq, referring to the Iraqi people as ‘fucking hajjis.’” (A spokesperson for Casey, now the Army Chief of Staff, said the general “did not make this statement.”)
“The military is attractive to white supremacists,” Millard says, “because the war itself is racist.”

and yeah….Barbara Bush might just be the ugliest and creepiest looking fossil on the panet.
Her thesis in college is virulently anti White. She hates White people and this country and what it’s history is. She is a vicitimite, constantly whining and complaining. Like a child she has to get her way. She wasn’t happy unless her Mohamadanist Candidate husband became President because of a Bolshevik coup. George Bush was compared to Hitler, and his mother Barbara was joked about looking like George Washington. I didn’t hear any liberal scum get upset at that, since they said it. But the insidiousness of this, is that this is how they want to stilfe free speech. Like in Communist Occupied Rhodesia. “Oh my, how racist”. You see he will have his toadies and lackeys, morons, and mindless slaves jump to say that anytime someone criticises him or her. I still am waiting for her to apologize for what she has written and said about this country! And if you don’t like the remark, well too bad! Go live in Communist Occupied Rhodesia where they kiss the ass of Mugabe. This is still America!
Notice the hateful remarks made against working class White People: “trailer trash, Von Brunn mentality, knuckle dragging” The elitist anti-White rehtoric of the Bolshevik left who hate the White Working Class. Oh, but that isn’t hateful, no, not of course. Tiller, was a Dr. Mengele clone. Fetuses are not considered human, therefore it is legal to murder them. Well, Mengele could murder Jewish children because it was legal in Nazi Germany. Oh, but Tiller was legal, so he had every right to murder the newborn. And he wasn’t a Nazi, no he had the left which devalues human life like the National Socialists did, so they both have something in common! Look into your own predjudical hatred of White Working Class people, before you dare to criticise Americans for their Constitutional right of FREE SPEECH!
It was the White Working Class who fought the wars so we can have our Constitutional right of FREE SPEECH, they built this country, farmed it, worked in the industrial factories, and created this once great nation, which you and your slimy scummy ilk would take from us! The same White Working Class that you despise and would eliminate, because that is the ultimate goal of Bolshevik scum like you! That’s the real history that you and your kind want to destroy!
I just wonder why Republicans are so vocal now? They didn’t say squat when Bush was sending the country to Hell.
As Marc Antony said to Cleopatra on her visit to Rome: ” There are no kings in Rome. We are a Republic, we are FREE MEN!”
To “The Great Frank”:
Such a pompous ass. So judgmental. So righteous. So full of s***t.

Americans of all colors did the best to build this country. Many didn’t do more because people like you segregated, denied education and opportunity, terrorized, lynched and killed them. Learn the history of this country, pompous ass. Because we would be even greater if people with your mentality were not around, dragging us down.
them, killed them, segregated them
I think that she looks like sea biscuit.
It wasn’t the white working class that built this nation, you bunch of numbskulls – it was black slaves. hello? earth to numbskulls…
Her attitudes are hers to defend and fair game.
She can’t help the body she was born with.
Criticizing someone for their appearance is just bad manners, even if it is protected speech.
Unfortunately, as pointed out, the left seems to have blinders on that prevents it’s side from seeing the hurt and malice of criticizing Sarah Palin as a “slutty flight attendant” or her daughter, or criticising Ron Reagan for his hair or apparent age. Granted the ape-negro characterization is a regression and nasty at best, but acknowledge that your side, particularly black activists, get a pass from main stream criticism when they spew visiousness. Remember “Hymietown, cracker, honkey?”
On your first point, Jack, I must agree, attacking ANYONE’s appearance is truly bad manners, and the lowest form of “dialogue”.
As for the attacks on Sarah Palin, and her daughter that you just described (which I have not heard before you pointed them out), I would definitely agree that they are un-called for and unacceptable. That being said, the comments about Michelle Obama were made by an elected official, not a comedian or a “political commentator” (READ- Bill O’Reilly). Can you provide CURRENT similar examples of politicians making the racial comments you described without backlash?
As for The Great Frank- your description of the “white” working class is at best a strawman argument, and at worst, racist.
If you think whites were the only ones fighting in the wars of this country, you need some remedial history classes. As far as the “left” characterizing the working class as “trailer trash, Von Brunn mentality, knuckle dragging”, that is the strawman- it was NOT said anywhere on this forum. Believe me, as a white, working class individual, I would have noticed.
To the Great Frank-
Have you read Michelle Obama’s thesis? Obviously, not.
What exactly is a Mohamadanist? Oh wait, that isn’t even a word!
And you would be better with sticking with words like “communist”, since your usage of the word “Bolshevik” is dated at best.
Perhaps since you enjoy quoting dated propaganda, and other silly rhetoric, you will appreciate this quote-
“Never bring a knife to a gunfight”
Immeadiately, I am “guilty” of “crimes” against blacks. Of course, I am, I dare to state historical and political facts! The downgrading of White history in this country is now the norm. You see the Bolshevik tactic of lies and smears? The “broad brush tactic”? Sorry, your guilt doesn’t work here! Not one fact that was presented is addressed historically. It really hurts the vermin infested left when someone states facts. They don’t want facts, but instead the “P.C.” respones”. Hatred of the White Working Class is endemic to the left and it’s mindless vegetables that inhabit it. Slurs and hatred is to looked over and accepted. We don’t accept your hatred or lies!! We detest it, because we’re fed up with it! Peddle your slanderous hatred somewhere else! And the fact is, White People the majority of this nation, did build it! The contributions of other groups, minorities are accepted, but their role is overplayed in the “new history”. A history that seeks to denigrate White People and what they’ve achieved. The economy of this nation was not based on slavery. The great engine was built on the Northern industrial might that was created. The age of industrialization was AFTER slavery. The agrian economy and slave economy was in the South. The South could not sustain itself in the War of the States because it had no industrialization. The farmers out West were not slaves. They didn’t create the great agricultural economy and products with slave labour. So get your facts correct, as I know it is painful to read the truth!
Of course the military is lied about and attacked by the bolshi scum. It voted Republican in the last elections! Hey, jerk! Why wasn’t MS13, the Crips, the Bloods and other gangs of “colour” mentioned? Where were you when a Mexican gang was “ethnically cleansing” a black neighborhood in CA.? Vile creatures like this never talk about that, do they? ?As for “racism” in Iraq, did you ever read what the Mohamadanists write about Jews? Calling them, “pigs and monkeys”? Selective amnesia? Maybe you wont’ , because it will expose your own racism! Why don’t you write about the fact that Christians are murdered in Mohamadan countries for preaching the gospel? Where churches are burned? Where the Gospel is outlawed? Go peddle your lies somewhere else!
Hey Peter the Greatless.
GET THE F**K OUT OF THIS SITE. WE WOULD BE A BETTER PLANET IF RED MONGREL SCUM LIKE *YOU* WERE OFF THIS PLANET.
BTW, IF YOU CAN’T STAND WHITE PEOPLE STANDING UP FOR THEIR RACE AND COUNTRY, WHY DO YOU BOTHER COMING TO THIS SITE? AND YES, SHE DOES LOOK LIKE AN APE. AND I APOLOGIZE TO APES FOR THAT.
O-Kay then…I obviously made a mistake trying to reason with a lunatic. Nothing you have said remotely relates to the topic.
Hey Steven- WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING? Seriously, what is your point, to discredit a poster or to insult the First Lady?
First, I only discredit someone who already has used this board to discredit someone else. Secondly, she is not the “First Lady” anymore than the crypto-Muslim is president. They are a fraud who are only lucky that the American people were so stupid as to vote these Afrocentric Communists into power.
Back to the article… this raises the overly-sensative issue of race in this country… I don’t make a scene when someone calls me a hick, a redneck, white trash, hillbilly, corn-fed, honky, or any other name you can call a white person… in America (which she wasn’t proud of until her husband ran for president) we are a very diverse nation… and we poke fun at each other… if he had said it in a news conference or in the office it would have been unprofessional… but facebook is a social networking site… not the office…
I’m sick of walking on eggshells in this country trying not to offend people… when I was in the Navy I got in trouble for telling a black woman she was a “good southern cook” … meaning that she brought in some really good food that day and shared with everyone… it happened to be food typically considered southern…. but apparently saying she was a good cook was “racially insensitive”…. people just need to get some thicker skin… I don’t get mad when people say I’m good at creating stuff out of duct tape….
the point i’m trying to make is that the gorilla comment was intended to be humorous not degrading…. it was probably going along with the fact that SHE said humans decended from apes… if I were to say humans decended from apes (which I wouldn’t because I don’t believe it), fine compare me to a gorrilla…. when you make comments like she did you’re opening up the door for people to laugh at it…
I think the guy that spread it around everywhere needs to appologize
White people should be given reparations in this country for the graffiti, muggings, rapings, nigritization for the music, clothing, art, movies……
Alley Oop finally said something of worth!
Becky, Philoctetes:
Right on! (Sorry, I mean WHITE ON!). It only goes to show the double standard. Whites have to watch their tongues with every syllable that they utter. But blacks can say whatever they want. There is going to be a “Whitelash” in this country, and if not, then we are doomed – and deservedly so.
P.S. Blacks have been getting reparations for the last 40+ years. It’s called WELFARE. And what about black on white crime? How many *thousands* of innocent White People have been raped, ripped, robbed, and murdered by blacks? And not a word from the “media.” Reparations? I say REPATRIATION BACK TO AFRIKA!
clearly michelle and her kids are very very ugly, the most ugly first lady ever, if she looked like beyonce then i would have no problem but if you are honest she certainly looks like a gorilla in a dress and her kids like chimps in a dress UGH!!!!!
