Jim Welker: A Democrat's Best Friend

•  
• by: Colorado Pols

Rep. Jim Welker, the same political mastermind who last session tried to compare — to much embarassment from his own party — homosexuality to bestiality, is at it again.

As the Rocky Mountain News reports, Welker thought it would be a good idea to forward around an e-mail that contained ingenious statements such as:

When 75 percent of New Orleans residents had left the city, it was primarily immoral, welfare-pampered blacks that stayed behind and waited for the government to bail them out.”

“About five years ago, in a debate before the National Association of Black Journalists, I stated that if whites were to just leave the United States and let blacks run the country, they would turn America into a ghetto within 10 years. (But) I gave blacks too much credit. It took a mere three days for blacks to turn the Superdome and the convention center into ghettos, rampant with theft, rape and murder.”

“Had New Orleans’ black community taken action, most would have been out of harm’s way. But most were too lazy, immoral and trifling to do anything productive for themselves.”

“Blacks are obligated to help themselves and not depend on the government to care for them. We are all obligated to tell them so.”

Republicans should make up an ethics violation just to get rid of this genius; Welker, you’re killin’ the Republicans!
