South Carolina Man Complains About 'Martin Luther Coon Street' During Press Conference

"Hey, I go down the street I see Martin Luther Coon -- I shouldn't say that. I mean, Martin Luther King," he explained.

He says he shouldn't say that ... ya think? They don't even try to hide it or use coded language anymore.

1. Asswipe.

[Chasstev365]

2. Yeah that's as old as black and white TV

LOSER!!!!!!!!

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. There is your voter we are supposed to court, sure, yeah, you bet.

[blogslut]

4. And for all his numerous lawsuits...

this will be his final moment in the sun. May it stick with him to the grave.

5. Post this asshats photo all over the inter tubes and let karma take over.

[Greybnk48]

6. Yeah, let's let this "cute prick" on DU because he might vote Dem

in the future.

Vile, racist pig.

[NurseJackie]

8. You're reading my mind! I was thinking the exact same thing!

It's difficult for me to understand why anyone would welcome that type of person here.

[sheshe2]

9. And he stated perfectly how he felt...

before that little correction.

Asshole!

[Maraya1969]

7. Wow, I believe that is the quickest foot in mouth fuckup I've ever seen

10. Not just a man, an elected official

[bench scientist]

13. He's a private citizen who filed a lawsuit to restore the confederate flag, not an elected official.

He's also a racist and bigot and his suit got tossed caused he sued in the wrong venue.

11. Wonder where he heard about 'going after Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson?"

[rusty quoin]

12. It was a nice recovery on his part when he said, "I shouldn't say that."

If he had followed up with, "I'm not racist," he would have been completely in the clear.

[flibbitygiblets]

14. The way it rolled right off his tongue, made it 100% clear he's said it so many times

that his brain didn't know how to NOT say it, even though he was on camera trying to make a case that confederate flags (and by extension, those who fly them) are not racist.

"I shouldn't say that". Translation: "I say it all the time, but I really didn't mean to say it on TV. Oops!"
