Ill have to agree on that one.
 
hmmm, people care too much.
 
i've been known to be very liberal and PC, but that's just absurd...
 
I use the phrase occasionally in my home when kids get out of control. No disrespect intended. Never thought of it as having a derogatory connotation and still don't.
 
I dont even understand why they took the time to appologize I mean we are supposed to call them NATIVE americans right? Am I wrong? Man I need to make a point to keep up with the politically correct phrases, wouldnt wanna step on some toes.
 
lol i live on a reservation the "native americans" up here refer to themselves as "indians" unless they are asking the government for more handouts THEN they are a "sovereign nation"
 
OH BULLCRAP! He wasn't making fun of them!Well if we can't call them natives then what the heck are we supposed to call them???*Niki*

Pah, some people are a bit too sensative about that sort of thing. The little article even said that the govenor "went out of his way to call the conference," I don't think that he did it so he could make fun of them. And if he did, well, then he has a -only slightly- worse sense of humor than I do.

People should hear my house, I don't even know how often someone gets called a "Dirty Kraut" here.

None of us are antisemitic, we just can appreciate the humor of it.

It's all about being "POLITICALLY CORRECT" nowadays. If the Gov. didn't apologize, then who's to say that he wouldn't be threatened with a lawsuit on his remark? So it goes both ways on these inconsequential issues.....
