Crist supporter Bud Day - "vote for Crist because he is not hispanic or black"

[Mass]

Politically, Crist is more palatable than Rubio (though obviously the Democratic candidate would be a lot better), but his supporters suck.

NOT EXACTLY A BRIGHT 'DAY'.... Long-time observers may remember the name Bud Day. Six years ago, Day, a decorated Air Force combat veteran, hooked up with the Swiftboat liars to smear John Kerry. Four years later, Day explained his support for John McCain and the war in Iraq by saying, "The Muslims have said either we kneel or they're going to kill us."

This week, Day has begun trying to rally support for Gov. Charlie Crist's (R) Senate campaign in Florida, instead of Marco Rubio (R), who's leading in the polls. Apparently, Day sees the Republican primary through a racial lens. (via Memeorandum)

"You know, we just got through (electing) a politician who can run his mouth at Mach 1, a black one, and now we have a Hispanic who can run his mouth at Mach 1," Day said. "You look at their track records and they're both pretty gritty. Charlie has not got a gritty track record."

Day confirmed he was speaking of Obama and Rubio.

"You've got the black one with the reading thing. He can go as fast as the speed of light and has no idea what he's saying," Day said. "I put Rubio in that same category, except I don't know if he's using one of those readers."

5. These types have ALWAYS been out there; having a

black president has pegged their freakout meters so high that some of them just can't keep it in any longer.

"The minorities are taking over the WORLD!!!11!!!111!"

3. Yea, that the guy you want on your side if you want to win. Go, Crist!

4. And I am sure that "gritty" has nothing to do with the color of their skins!

Let's see, black guy and Hispanic guy = "gritty", white guy = not "gritty".

Nothing to see here folks, move along.

Are these guys as stupid as they sound? Can they possibly be that clueless?

Sometimes I wonder if he and Boner are related.
