Republican Under Fire For Comparing Michelle Obama To Gorillas

Sandra Rose June 15, 2009

A South Carolina Republican is under fire for linking First Lady Michelle Obama’s ancestry to gorillas. Well, it’s true if you believe in Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. But we’re sure that Rusty DePass wasn’t trying to teach human evolution to visitors of his Facebook page.

We’re sure his aim was to insult the First Lady, and we’re sure she couldn’t care less:

From NY Daily News:

A prominent South Carolina Republican killed his Facebook page Sunday after being caught likening the First Lady to an escaped gorilla.

Commenting on a report posted to Facebook about a gorilla escape at a zoo in Columbia, S.C., Friday, longtime GOP activist Rusty DePass wrote, “I’m sure it’s just one of Michelle’s ancestors – probably harmless.” READ MORE…

Well…

Many people are making their living off of TOTALLY disrespecting the President and his wife…so this comes as NO surprise at all…

@ Coo Coo – exactly! Michelle is beautiful, but that’s what happens when an ignorant person tries to equate two things they don’t know about. It is so obvious that if he knoew anything about gorillas he’d be the first comparison to come to mind. Hair looking like a Christmans wreath, and he has the nerves to speak on the First Lady. I’m salty about that.

@ Krysi – I’ve noticed that, and not only within the media, but every since Obama won office, there’s an air of boldness going around amongst certain people everywhere with their comments.

That’s alright though, because actually I’ve been waiting on a few opportunities too. They can try me if they like.
LOL!

this si sad, but im sure he refers to all blk people like that. i guess the republican party hasnt change no does it want blk people to join it. im looking for his TV show on fax news soon. if you read dawn’s theory, i did in college for a class, he never compared it to people, just to certain animals that over 1000’s of years developed survival enhancements. its other people who then commented on Darwin’s theory and turned into this how man developed.

The Republican party is racist and they spend all their time denigrating the Obamas instead of coming up with decent solutions.

How are they going to talk about anyone else’s stimulus package when they ain’t done isht but f*ck us up?! Even if I wanted to give the party a shot, dumb @sses like Depass remind me of why I shouldn’t. How are you gonna talk about Obama when you can’t even keep your dunces tied up?!

Hell yeah it sounds good to be fiscally conservative, but Republicans didn’t do that in 8 years. Yeah, I’m sure some folks would love to make abortion illegal, but the Republicans had 8 years to do that mess and didn’t do a lick. They point fingers and talk a lot, but don’t do jack but mess up the country even more.

And now what they have is Palin, Cheney (talking more than he ever did before), and this fool being racist?!

Yeah, watch me NOT listen to anything the Republicans have to say about politics, the Obamas, or grass growing.
