Ga. GOP candidate Deal (and current congressman) "...ghetto grandmothers..." So typical.
Edited on Mon Oct-05-09 11:51 AM by CurtEastPoint
Congressman and candidate for governor Nathan Deal was describing his role in legislation to demand proof of citizenship for federal or state health care benefits.

Said Deal:

“We got all the complaints of the ghetto grandmothers who didn’t have birth certificates and all that. We wrote some very liberal language as to how you can verify it. My mother was born in 1906 and she didn’t have a birth certificate. They didn’t give birth certificates back then. But we got her one, because you can do it under the proper procedures of your state.”

On edit: He apologized today: “I regret my choice of words and in no way meant to offend anyone.”

3. Oh, hmmm, I wonder who he is talking about - and I wonder if they didn't have
birth certificates because Jim Crow laws kept their mothers out of Hospitals while giving birth.

What a f@#king scumbag.
