Birthers Racism

Owen Hill: We Already Have a Kenyan President

Colorado Republican Owen Hill, who is challenging Senator Mark Udall (D) next year, must have thought he was very original and funny when he cracked a birther joke at breakfast last week.

While speaking about his experience with a Christian children’s charity, he revealed that he isn’t so much into helping children realize their dreams as he is taking a piss on their dreams with racially-tainted jokes.

HILL: “You spend time out there and little kids are running around barefoot in these kinds of streets, and you ask them what they want to be. They want to be an astronaut, they want to be a physicist, a marine biologist, one kid even told me he wanted to be president of the United States. I held back my snarky comment that said ‘Well, you know what, we already have someone from Kenya as president of the United States.’”

Ha! Isn’t that cute? The “barefoot” Kenyan child wants to be president. Someone already beat him to the punch, didn’t they? Zing! Pow!

Owen Hill is the chairman of the Colorado Senate Conservatives Fund.

Name the worst legislation unveiled in Congress in recent memory and the Senate Conservatives Fund undoubtedly supported it.
