For stand up comedy jokes back in 1980? I'm not into racism at all but that's an odd reach. It strikes me that one of the major party candidates (whoever the NAACP may have endorsed) may be feeling threatened by Kinky.... I notice the article doesn't mention Kinky being Jewish (along with the "bagels with Jews" comment).

And what an odd thing to break right around Jimmy's fundraiser.... :roll:

Some guy stepped on my toe 30 years ago... I'm gonna call and demand an apology...

The NAACP will NEVER get any of my money, they have a tendency to be more backwards than the racists they're supposedly fighting....

Incorrect maybe, but Kinky’s no empty head

Published September 24, 2006

If you follow this column, you know I’ll probably vote for Kinky Friedman for governor. This week, his opponents are painting him as a racist for “insensitive” remarks.

Interestingly, the Republican frontrunner tended to ignore Friedman until the challenger’s poll numbers took an upward turn. Now the masters of spin are scouring Friedman’s writings and tapes of his performances. Kinky being Kinky, it’s not hard to find offensive remarks.

exactly. basic Repub attack politics. Remember, in 2000 they started a campaign to write off John McCain as nuts from his time as a prisoner of war when his numbers were threatening Shrub's "sweep"
