GA Senator: Obama Needs To Be Held Down With “Gorilla Glue”

I'm confused. Gorilla Glue is an actual product, and is REALLY fucking potent.

Confused on exactly what?

Apparently he's not offended by people throwing out yet another ape-gorilla-monkey reference towards Obama.

I don't think Zell meant it in a racist way, but he definitely should have chosen his words more wisely.

No. I GET IT. Calling a black man a gorilla is not kewl. DURRRRR

But what I'm saying is that if the tone is that President Obama is not spending enough time in the Oval Office, and he suggests using something to hold him in the chair, and if Gorilla Glue is some of the most adhesive and name recognized brand, what's the problem?

You see, we have this problem here in Mid-Michigan where a company named Beaner's changed their name due to pressure that their name was offensive. People generally understood that the name was a play on coffee bean aficionados. The complaints were still heard, the company listened and explained their stance, and eventually came to a decision to change their name to Biggby (the original logo was a Big "B"). But the point was that the company never really meant to hurt anybody's feelings or did it with mal-intent.

Trust me... I've seen the emails, I've seen the right-wing videos. YES THEY DO ALLUDE TO HIM AS A GORILLA, MONKEY, AND OTHER RACIST SHIT. But in this case, it really sounds like an over-exaggeration and somewhat of a witch hunt for switching parties a few years ago.

It sure is nice having adults running our government now

Whether he was trying to be a racist asshole or not, it would not hurt anyone to think twice before they speak.

The very first thread that made me mad enough to venture into the depths of hell known as P&R was about some other stupid, ignorant, racist ass, dumb fuck, making a joke about Gorilla Glue and someone Black. Now I come here first before I go to any of the other forums.

Of course, I'm a Liberal! I'm an American, damn it!
