NASCAR star ripped, apologizes for breastfeeding remark on Twitter

NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne apologized Wednesday after expressing his disgust on Twitter when he saw a woman breastfeeding at a grocery store.



The 31-year-old Kahne added, “One boob put away one boob hanging!! #nasty.

“I don’t feel like shopping anymore or eating.”

--------------

His tweets caused outrage on the social networking site, with one woman named Deana P., posting, “I hope someday you have a kid and someone tells your wife that feeding your child looks nasty.”

Kahne, who has 100,000 followers on Twitter, caused further furor by responding, “And your a dumb b*tch,” to which she countered, “Stay classy a**hole.”

Kahne later apologized on his Facebook page.

8. Someone should tweet him that his coffee he drank that morning...

was "creamed" with (a stranger's) breast milk.....

[Quantess]

9. That's the immature response one could expect from a 15 year old.

The guy is 31. He needs to grow up.

[thucythucy]

10. This is a guy

who earns his living driving a noxious internal combustion engine around and around and around and around and around an asphalt circle, pumping carbon monoxide and other toxic pollutants into the air, making a huge amount of noise, wasting god knows how much petroleum, all for the purpose of entertaining the similarly piston-obsessed, and he considers breast feeding a baby "nasty"?

I guess inhaling all those fumes must have impaired his judgment.

[Tsiyu]

21. That is hilarious

I just posted the same thing...great minds think alike!!!

[thucythucy]

28. I think your post

is better though, way more funny.

"...like a f***king gerbel on crack, while a bunch of people (who could see the same thing standing next to an interstate for free)..." LOL.

Best wishes.

[Tsiyu]

29. You too and remember

BREAST IS BEST!!!!!!

[undeterred]

26. Testosterone impaired brain.

The more macho the profession, the more bizarre the thinking about women. Its as if it never occurred to him that the actual function of a womans breast is to nourish a child.

[hobbit709]

11. So seeing a breast put him off his feed. what will he do if he sees anything else?

[Rex]

12. Sheltered lives will do that to a person.

What a moran.

[eShirl]

16. absolutely

[monmouth]

13. Bet he doesn't mind a breast pushing NASCAR or beer though...n/t

[RainDog]

14. stupid asshole n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

15. FORCED TO LOOK! FORCED TO LOOK!

I tried to averteth mine eyes from yon boob, and couldst not!

[BlueJazz]

17. I'll never understand why those filthy, disgusting women feel the HAVE...

...to expose themselves under the guise of nurturing their baby.

[onethatcares]

19. I'll never understand why those filthy, disgusting women feel they HAVE

to have breasts in the first place. I mean it's not like men don't have them.

(I don't know where the smiley emoticons are so please include a bang head one here x)



I wonder if he's ever seen a wet t=shirt contest at Daytona?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. Here's a link for the smileys:

22. So you also hate strip club billboards, do you?

They show more than this....

&feature=player_embedded

Aww that is sooooo disgusting....clutch the pearls and faint.......

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. They have the same right to nurse their baby that a bottle-feeding mom has to feed hers.

And they have the same right to do it in public.

It is not a filthy or disgusting thing at all. It is a healthy, nurturing, loving act.

You can look away.

I mean, really.

[BlueJazz]

44. My dear Peggy...I shouldn't have to tell you about my sarcastic personality.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. Omigod, I'm so sorry!

I should have known...

Thanks...

[bluerum]

18. Tough. Go get in ur car and drive in circles.

[Tsiyu]

20. What's really nasty is Kasey Kahne

spewing spent fossil fuels into the environment, going round and round and round and round the road like a f***ing gerbil on crack, while a bunch of people (who could see the same thing standing next to the interstate for free) are cheering, because the ozone layer need that hole to be bigger, and all the kids living around that track need to inhale the nasty smoke from his overpriced career activities.

F*** him, what a tool!

The irony of people who make a living polluting the environment calling the very wholesome act of nursing "nasty" !!! People, this is why the world thinks Americans are MORONS. Kasey Kahne, you just proved you're a clueless, NASTY idiot!

Go Nursing Moms! DOWN with NASCAR!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

23. I wonder if he realizes just what a huge shit storm he just created for himself

Every time I've been polled, I've been asked if I watch nascart. Each time I say, what?

Let them have their guns, bibles, and loud cars that drive around in pointless circles. Let them have their idiots. Let them have their shitstorm that is sure to follow. He has ruined his career, at least as a sponsored driver. The protests, even for the most misogynistic of them, will be too much.

[Tsiyu]

24. I don't think he does

Progressive, decent American women have become increasingly disgusted with the prudery surrounding breastfeeding. We can go anywhere in the world and feed our infants but here at home.

He should have said: "Saw a woman feeding her baby, providing the baby with antibodies, bonding with her child, offering the perfect food, protecting her child and herself from disease, helping her body heal after labor and reducing her chances of getting breast cancer. What a great sight!"

Instead, his ignorance won out. I'll be calling all of his sponsors tomorrow.

We have such a difficult time getting women to nurse, just watched a "daugher" go through this and basically she gave up because it was too tough of a fight for her against society. Her baby has a lot of issues because of this, mainly gastrointestinal because he has a hard time with the formula. Guys like him just made it even more difficult for young mothers with his stigmatizing this very healthy. wholesome thing.

A shitstorm indeed!

[Dawson Leery]

38. Down with NASCAR indeed.

Kasey Kahne is vile. He is a reactionary. The very same types who we have spent our lives fighting against.

The ignorant mind: Breastfeed = bad. Carbon Monoxide into the enviroment from race cars = good.

[seabeyond]

25. strip club and porn, not so nasty. feeding a baby nasty. says it all. nt

[derby378]

27. He can't even spell "you're a dumb bitch" correctly

That's one reason I prefer hanging around Democrats. They believe in the power of education.

[Fire Walk With Me]

32. NASCAR tips for Democrats

[workinclasszero]

33. NASCAR=redneck republican idiot

probably. What can you expect from these cretins? They hate women, gays, minorities etc.

Its sick that the natural use of a women's breast is offensive to these teabagger hillbillies.

[Sanguineneck Hank]

36. The black lesbian couple I met at Atlanta last year would certainly agree

...

[Tsiyu]

40. Now leave the hillbillies alone

I is one, proudly.

This guy does't live in the hills, I can guar-awn-tee. He lives in a gated subdivision with a bunch of rich social climbers, no doubt.

[Odin2005]

34. Many DUers would agree with this idiot, sadly.

[Tsiyu]

35. And look what their ignorance is costing us:

http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2011pres/01/20110120a.html



"According to the “Call to Action,” breastfeeding protects babies from infections and illnesses that include diarrhea, ear infections, and pneumonia. Breastfed babies are also less likely to develop asthma, and those who are breastfed for six months are less likely to become obese. Mothers themselves who breastfeed have a decreased risk of breast and ovarian cancers.

A study published last year in the journal Pediatrics estimated that the nation would save $13 billion per year in health care and other costs if 90 percent of U.S. babies were exclusively breastfed for six months. Dr. Benjamin added that, by providing accommodations for nursing mothers, employers can reduce their company’s health care costs and lower their absenteeism and turnover rates.

“I believe that we as a nation are beginning to see a shift in how we think and talk about breastfeeding,” said Dr. Benjamin. “With this ‘Call to Action,’ I am urging everyone to help make breastfeeding easier.”

37. kan't even spell his own name

[Telly Savalas]

39. Well, a medium which restricts messages to 140 characters

isn't exactly fertile soil for intelligent dialogue.

Why are the asinine ramblings of a grammatically challenged ape who can't turn a steering wheel clockwise considered worthy enough to merit a thread here?

[Tsiyu]

41. It merits a thread

because this is DU, and there is nothing we love more than a good old fashioned breastfeeding thread

(And also to make his name come up here whenever anyone googles it so all can see us bash him!)

[jmowreader]

42. Kasey Kahne is a tool anyway

He's not QUITE as bad as Kyle Busch, but he's still a little prick.

[COLGATE4]

43. The dumb fuck doesn't even know the difference

between "your" and "you're". Homskooled??

[ProfessionalLeftist]

45. Typical attitude of a NASCAR redneck.

Maybe they're not all jerks, but the ones who are make a bad name for the rest.

[gkhouston]

46. Yeah, he probably made a beeline for the nearest Hooters to drown his distaste. n/t
