Damn MSM, never the important facts in the story: Were the tacos original crunchy of soft shell?

Because, soft tacos....mmmmmm.

He didn't make a racist remark. He made a pretty stupid remark, though.

Also, when a lot of people think Connecticut, they have an idea of some sort of rich, white, liberal New England State. That's true for Stamford, Greenwich and Fairfield. But for most of the rest of the state, it's like living in a snowier version of Alabama, only with less minorities.

RexTalionis: He didn't make a racist remark. He made a pretty stupid remark, though

Well, here's the thing: What do you make of changing the quote to, "What do you plan to do for blacks?"

"I dunno, I might go home and have some fried chicken."?

Everyone knows that fried chicken is verboten when talking about blacks. So how are tacos and latinos any different? Also, the comment definitely calls into question his decision-making skills. Anyone dumb enough to say that - even if he didn't intend it to be as idiotic as it sounds - probably makes any number of bad judgment calls during the course of a day.

Couldn't this have been his plan all along? I mean sure, it's political suicide, but dud FREE TACOS!
 
2012-01-26 08:56:14 PM
Why is this being called a "protest" and not "free lunch"?

Right. He didn't say taco-benders. He didn't say beaners.
He didn't say 'messikins"
He didn't say it's wednesday, Let's have spaghetti.
ANTONIIIIIiiiiii!

He's a WASP and a farking racist, or a Papist, pedo farker, or a kike with a chip on his shoulder.
This nation is built on the backs of whomever will lend a farking hand.
Fark this pejudiced asshole to hell and let him drive on unplowed streets, live among unpicked up garbage and eat what ever an immigrant wouldn't pick from the fields.

E Todos los llamem etsta deportadas.

he's the Mayor of New Haven. His choice each day is "should I do something to make my city suck less?"
Regardless of the answer, it will remain a shiathole. It doesn't matter. They'll talk about how Yale is there and they'll call it a day.
 
2012-01-26 10:13:39 PM
There's a very fine line between racist and stupid.

The mayor found out exactly where it is: On the far side of a shaitload of tacos.
 
2012-01-26 10:15:51 PM
This might backfire. Now, every time he wants free tacos, he knows he just has to say something racist.

That Mayor had to be from Southhaven, Mississippi because as Fark has taught us all, racism only exists in the southern states of America, not up north where all the enlightend folk reside.

Seriously though, what a complete and utter dumb-arse the mayor is, I mean really, could you not invest two, or three seconds in thought before answering a reporter's question about a serious situation????

As to the response to the dumb-arsed remarks from "the community," all I can say is BRAVO, well played... Tacos today, vote the dumb-arse out of office next time he is up for reelection.. No one gets hurt and the response keeps the attention on the mayor, not some ill advised response to his comments...Many protestors can learn a thing or two from this..

1. Mayor wants tacos
2. Mayor "accidentally" makes insensitive remark about Latinos
3. Profit

Sounds like his plan for free tacos worked out perfectly.

As tempting as they are, I would not eat unsolicited tacos sent by people I just offended. The hot sauce may be a bit too diverse.

But it can't be offensive because old, white, rich guys can't think of anything that would offend themselves.

/Damn they have old balls. But they have 20 year old hotties sucking on them.

Since they're donating the "extras" to local food banks, I have to wonder if they'd sabotage them.

Because who doesn't like a cold, congealed taco?
 
2012-01-26 10:43:51 PM
...and I'm sure the call went out throughout his offices: "hey! Free tacos, all you can eat! Drop by the main hallway on your break!...", without any recognition of the message at all.

I'll defend the guy, because I laughed at the quip and would probably do the same thing if I were a politician.

It seems evident that he was making an off-the-cuff remark, not a prepared statement that he truly believes all Latinos love tacos.

Also, how exactly is it the mayor's responsibility that the police screwed up? I sincerely doubt he put a policy into place to racially discriminate against Latinos...the police chief should be bearing the actual responsibility for this thing, instead of swarming on a guy that made a dumb joke.
 
2012-01-26 11:04:53 PM
