Lynn Westmoreland isn’t the only Georgia Republican dropping the u-bomb. During a radio interview in Macon last week, Republican congressional candidate Rick Goddard called a black MSNBC reporter “uppity” for daring to ask Newt Gingrich a non-softball question about Gov. Sarah Palin. Like Westmoreland, Goddard denies he meant “uppity” in the “who does this black guy [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/09/05/update-lynn-westmoreland-explains-uppity/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/09/05/update-lynn-westmoreland-explains-uppity/#comments Fri, 05 Sep 2008 16:31:43 +0000 Andisheh Nouraee http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/09/05/update-lynn-westmoreland-explains-uppity/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/09/05/update-lynn-westmoreland-explains-uppity/feed/ 2 As discussed here yesterday, Georgia Republican Rep. Lynn Westmoreland publicly shamed the Peach State for the second time in three years yesterday when he referred to Sen. Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, as ‘uppity.’ “Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they’re a member of an elitist-class individual that [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/09/04/us-rep-lynn-westmoreland-obamas-uppity/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/09/04/us-rep-lynn-westmoreland-obamas-uppity/#comments Thu, 04 Sep 2008 20:13:17 +0000 Thomas Wheatley http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/09/04/us-rep-lynn-westmoreland-obamas-uppity/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/09/04/us-rep-lynn-westmoreland-obamas-uppity/feed/ 5 From The Hill: “Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they’re a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they’re uppity,” Westmoreland said. Asked to clarify that he used the word “uppity,” Westmoreland said, “Uppity, yeah.” Keep it classy, sir!
