DNC staff call NC governor a ‘moronic little bigot’ in leaked emails

The Wikileaks Democratic National Committee email dump has stirred up a lot of controversy and lead to the resignation of DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

New revelations are still coming out as people comb through the documents.

While it is a stressful situation for registered Democrats, at least now it has provided some comedic relief, especially those living in North Carolina who are dealing with the fallout from the disastrous and discriminatory HB2.

In one of the leaked emails, a senior Democratic official calls North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory the “moronic little bigot of a tarheel governor.”

“Our hearts just sink when we see that kind of language being used,” Moronic Little Bigot Of A Tarheel Governor’s campaign spokesman Ricky Diaz told WSOC-TV. “It’s unacceptable. You know, it’s a shame that Democrats are being politically correct to the public and to the media, but then, when they’re behind closed doors, they’re calling Governor McCrory names.”

Ricky Diaz doesn't know what politically correct means.

Not to use derogatory terms or policies when talking about a disadvantaged group.

Oh.wait. being a moronic little bigot could be a disadvantage in advanced societies.

That made me laugh. I then immediately thought that it seems to be a plus in much of ours.
