Sen. Graham defends Perry against suggestions of racism

By Josiah Ryan - 10/07/11 03:30 PM ET

<snip>When asked whether Perry was being bullied, Graham said there was “an intimidation factor” involved.

“You better believe it,” said Graham in response to the question. “You know, if you’re a Southern white guy, this is part of your life.”

They can all kiss my kettle.

2. I'm a southern white guy...

and I must say that I do not have a slab of rock in front of my house with a racial epithet.

3. I'm a Southern White Guy

and it's never been part of my life! Lived in the South for the past 51 of my 53 years and never had a racist rock in my yard or the yards of any of my neighbors. Seen lots of stuff, disgusted at the antics, stupidity and racism of many of my neighbors, but never had a rock of racism. My dead parents would come back and kill me if I were a racist or had a racial rock in my yard. But then I'm a Liberal in the South and that is almost like being an endangered species down here. Unfortunately I have way to many neighbors that support or fly the rebel flag....something about honoring their dead ancestors and all......

preacher, that was ok?

5. The burden of being a white male in America.

I don't know how we make it through the day, frankly. Endeavor to persevere, white men. Endeavor to persevere.

6. He is - he did something stupid and evil, and he's suffering for it

I don't have any problem with Perry being the victim. I just have a problem with idiots whining that Perry doesn't DESERVE to be the victim.
