Does anyone know how to contact Countdown for the Worst Person in the World segment?
I really really want to send in the info for the complete and utter asshat bar owner right up the road in GA who is selling the Obama/Curious George t-shirts.

2. Don't know about that but
There is an online poll about the tshirt, if anyone is interested.

http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/cobb/stories/2008/05/13/mulligans_0514.html?cxntlid=homepage_tab_newstab

It's running like this at the moment.
It's racist 45.72% 2757
It's fine 54.28% 3273

5. Well I'm in GA and I don't think I qualify for such scorn, nor do the rest of the fine GA DUers who
contribute to this site.

6. Let's face it, do you think you are in the majority in your own state?
Clearly, the poll shows the attitudes down there haven't changed much.

10. I don't think the majority of voters in YOUR home state are bigots
but some of you sure seem to have problems with people of certain color locations.

12. I apologize that I have a hard time liking a state's majority of voters......
....that have provided us with the likes of Newt Gingrich, Saxby Chambliss, and Zell Miller....and will certainly go solid red come November, for many of the reasons highlighted in this article, despite the fact the minority might feel a more urgent need to counteract that.

I salute you for having the fortitude to live amongst these cretins on a daily basis. I wouldn't be able to.

15. California gave us Reagan
You working to piss off that population too?

And I do not live among cretins. I live among Americans and they come in many types. But I refuse to write them all off just because a few behave badly.

16. Wow, so the state that also produced Jimmy Carter, MLK Jr., John Lewis, Jackie Robinson
and plenty more (which will more than likely go blue come November because Bob Barr will be sucking away McCain votes like a Dyson) is a terrible place to live?

I appreciate the salute because its hard to live in a beautiful state filled with some ignornant losers and have to defend against attacks from people who don't live here either.

I love Tybee Island. I went to school in Statesboro and used to spend quite a bit of time down in Savannah and Tybee. Ahhh good times...good times...

11. Do A DKos Diary
I know KO is a member there now...maybe you could even PM him there. Put this story up here and there...get it kicked up on both places so other blogs notice as well. Seems that Keith picks up on the biggest noises on the blogs during the day that work their way onto Countdown.

Good Luck!!

13. That jerk deserves all the free publicity he can handle.




And once the word gets out I don't think he
will be able to handle very much. :eyes:

14. That is messed up
I don't know, but I'm delighted to write a few letters or at least sent emails. Not hard to look up representatives, and senators. Also not hard to contact local newspapers


"Among his recent musings: "I wish Hillary had married OJ," "No habla espanol — and never will" and the standard "I.N.S. Agents eat free"

What a disgusting chunk of shit. I hope he gets closed down.

As far as geographical racism, I'm up here near "liberal" Seattle, and racism is alive and well.
