MILWAUKEE- Wisconsin's Republican Senate candidate, former Gov. Tommy Thompson, says his son feels terrible for suggesting that voters should send President Barack Obama back to Kenya.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Thompson was asked about Jason Thompson's comment Sunday at an event hosted by the Kenosha County Republican Party. The younger Thompson was caught on camera saying voters have a chance to send Obama back to Chicago -- or Kenya.

I seriously doubt he (Jason Thompson) is truly sorry!

[MotherPetrie]

1. Fucker's only sorry he got caught!

[AlbertCat]

37. Fucker's only sorry he got caught!

Not even that. His dad is sorry.


Both actually are pretty sorry. And I don't mean in an apologetic way.

[wordpix]

48. repukes are always sorry when they get caught & they always backtrack to say what they "really" mean

Problem is, their reality is not the same as most of ours

[graham4anything]

2. No one hears an apology

[Lint Head]

3. What is his son? A frigging teenager he can disipline? Tommy Thompson is a ham handed idiot.

[bluesbassman]

4. *Sigh* Just sorry he got caught.

I bet he feels real terrible.

[freshwest]

12. Yep, that's all it is. And the laughing audience, they're really sorry, too... NOT.

Rush will be calling the media out for trouncing on his young lordship's freedumb of speech...

[DollarBillHines]

5. Oh, well, all can now be forgiven

And Thompson can go fuck himself

[bemildred]

6. He feels terrible about being called out for his racist comments. nt

[notadmblnd]

7. The younger Thompson had no problem flapping his lips when he made the remark

and now his daddy has to apologize for him? I sure do hope his father cut his tongue out.

[LisaL]

8. Really? He seemed pretty happy when he said it.

[crazylikafox]

9. No he doesn't. I saw him laughing when he said it.

[struggle4progress]

10. cat still got jason's tongue? how old is the poor young man anyway? 30? 40?

[Justkd1]

11. Sorry? No, he was having fun!

Just like they all do when making their funnies in front of crowds. And the crowds do love these jokes, so what does that say? Sickos!!

[Permanut]

13. I think we should send Tommy and Tommy Jr.

back to the fetid stinking swamp where they apparently came from.

Okay, I feel terrible that I said that.

[hue]

14. Washington Post's article...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/thompson-says-son-feels-terrible-for-suggesting-voters-send-obama-back-to-kenya/2012/10/16/d23c4af2-17e5-11e2-a346-f24efc680b8d_story.html

“He’s already apologized,” the older Thompson said. “It was an off-handed remark that somebody mentioned in the audience. You look at the movie. He didn’t say it. (bold is my emphasis) Somebody in the audience said it and he repeated it. I’ve talked to him about it and he’s apologized and that’s it.”

More lies!!!!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

21. so gleefully repeating it with a big grin is "he didn't say it"

cute

Meanwhile, the right wants you to believe Obama owns everything Wright ever said, including an 11-year-old 30-second clip (cherr-picked out of a decades long career) from a sermon Obama wasn't even there for.

[lastlib]

15. When do we get his apology, Tommy??

**(crickets)**

It had better be a REAL apology, too -- not a bunch of weasel-words "sorry IF anyone was offended..."

[otohara]

16. Sorry I'm A Racist and Dumb Birther

the only apology I want to hear

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. Wait a minute. I thought he was denying he said it??

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. Getting caught make you feel that way, doesn't it?

TS, Tommy. Your spawn got caught.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

19. So why is kid racist hiding behind Daddy?

Let him apologize in person.
He sure seemed comfortable and smug in front of the camera and crowd when he delivering his hateful comedy act.

and has Reince Preibus ever explained why he was silent on Jason and the crowd's racist little laughfest?

[donqpublic]

20. I believe him...

Correction. I will believe him just as soon as he proves he has a conscientious. You have to have one to feel remorse, and I am pretty damn sure none of them have one.

[Angry Dragon]

22. He should send a $2,000 check to the Obama campaign with an apology

Until he does that he is still a dumb shit that did not fall far from the asshole Tommy

[SCVDem]

23. How much did that collection raise?

Remember the woman who called out that they were taking donations for that Kenya trip?

All of them are busted including Priebus.

[speedoo]

24. Yeah right.

Go fuck yourself you rethug scumbag. And then go take your dipshit son and Preibus to Lake Superior and drown yourselves.

[Blue_Tires]

46. +1

[Cha]

25. Is Jason Thompson mute now? I haven't read ANY "apologies" from

the horse's mouth. Just others telling us "he's apologized". Jason spoke for himself when he spoke of "sending PBO back to Kenya"...where's his trap now?

[DRoseDARs]

26. Is he too busy flogging himself bloody over his comment to speak for himself; needs to send daddy?

eom

[jsr]

27. He feels terrible because it's in the news

[Demeter]

28. This son, how old is he? 50? 30?

Certainly old enough to know better.

[TBF]

51. I looked him up - Jason Thompson works in a large Milwaukee law firm

http://www.michaelbest.com/jtthompson/

You'd think he'd know better.

[daleo]

56. That's bad

An adult, especially one with a law degree has no excuse.

[southerncrone]

29. Toooooo late.

[muntrv]

30. Yeah, Jason feels terrible...

ABOUT GETTING CAUGHT!

[Peregrine Took]

31. Then why did he flap his "soup coolers" with such hate?? n/t

[Danmel]

32. He looked pretty proud of himself when he was saying it

Look at the self-satisfied smirk when his remarks drew laughter and offers to pay for the trip to Kenua. He isn't sorry at all.

[hamsterjill]

33. Oh, bullshit!

Amazing. Simply amazing.

[truthisfreedom]

34. He feels soooo sorry that he had his daddy apologize for him. The sincerity is palpable. n/t

[nuxvomica]

35. "nobody is suffering more than he is about this."

So he's a victim now. That's the 4th stage of Repub apologies.

I think it usually goes something like this:
1) It was just a joke.
2) It's not really what he said.
3) He's sorry if anyone might have been offended.
4) He's the real victim/suffers more than anyone else.
5) That's old news.

[Sunlei]

36. Like Father like Son

[yellowcanine]

38. He feels terrible that it caused a sh*t storm.

[Ken Burch]

39. Translation:"my son's real sorry that THE LIBERAL MEDIA ARE WORKING AGAINST ME!"

[DerelictDeminGA]

40. Bullshit

[Third Doctor]

41. Screw him! He feels bad because he got caught! And it may cost his dad.

[Darth_Kitten]

42. Daddy has to make his apologies for him?

I remember back yonder....in those good ole days....when you walked 10 miles to school in knee-deep snow and did your own apologizing...

yessiree......

[David Zephyr]

43. Of course he feels terrible, he just cost his father the election.

Thompson was already down. Now he's out.

[Javaman]

44. so he's his son's mouth piece?

where's the son?

more disingenuous bullshit.

[Zoeisright]

45. Uh huh. More lies, Thompson.

Go crawl back under your rock and take your spawn with you.

[Arkana]

47. I'm so sure.

Betcha daddy gave him a little pat on the back.

[FiveGoodMen]

49. Do we LOOK stupid?

[City Lights]

50. Yeah right.

I'm suuuure he does.

to Tommy and his offspring.

[budkin]

52. Sure he does, that's why he's said it twice.

No walking that shit back.

[fascisthunter]

53. sounds like Daddy is sorry he had this son

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

54. UPDATE: They found another tape of Jason being a birther

Apparently, Tommy's racist kid does the Send Him Back to Africa routine on a regular basis...

[brooklynite]

55. Apparently, not terrible enough to apologize himself...
