Abuzz about Buttars, surplus, health care

"Pure Love for All God's Children"??? Riiiighht. What parallel universe is Webb living in?

Not sure where the rap artist comment comes from. Last time I checked, no rappers were serving in the Utah Legislature. Hopefully we hold legislators to a different standard than entertainers.

You are just about as bad as Buttars when you suggest he study his "political correctness" manual. Is a racial epithet aimed at children just a matter of political correctness? Or is it more a matter of the heart?

Pignanelli/Webb--I guess I expect more insight and authenticity generally in an "opinion" column in a mid-size NEWSpaper. The only comment worth noting is that generally A LITTLE MORE sensitivity, humility and milk of human kindness is expected from a mature and seasoned Utah legislator (Senator, no less) who is Mormon (and haven't they been insisting on their "world view" and obvious Christian values?)than a teen-age/young adult rapster who eschews religion and is only about making money?!

Or maybe not. . .

Shame on all of you for allowing your white brother tobe attacked unfairly. For just looking the other way just because you disagree with his politics.

When you allow one person to be unfairly attacked you will allow to happen to all people.

Shame on pignelli. Shame on Webb. For not having he courage and the back bone to defend some who been so unfairly characterized.

Some one you know is innocent.

He apologized pubicly in same setting he made the marks. Even though they were not racist, Nor were they meant to be racist.

No more should be expected. He as already done more than should have to do.

Stop the unfair treatment. Stop the unfair attacks.

You must defend all innocent people whether it is popular or not.

OR the same thing can and will happen to each and every one of us.

I don't know why whites want to keep attacking other whites. Blacks are more than able to defend themselves. Unless you don't think so.

But this piling on seem more like self-righteous behavoir.

hey mr. or ms. anonymous above:

that was the best comment i have ever encountered. you tell it like it is. the truth will set you free.

To the two above comments: What time is the next clan rally boys?

To Webb: You clearly have some racial issues as well. Your rap comment was inappropriate, off topic, and has nothing to do with the racist comment made by buttars. This is not the first time buttars has been caught making racially insensitive comments. Is it the first time you have been?
