GOP Assembly candidate: 'if you want to act like niggers, go back to Paulsboro'

By Wally Edge

Republican State Assembly candidate Lee Lucas told neighbors "if you want to act like niggers, go back to Paulsboro," according to a 2006 Greenwich Township police report detailing a neighbor dispute.

"Yeah, I said that," a police officer says Lucas told him. "It's my freedom of speech. I can say what I want while I'm on my property."

Newly-elected Gloucester County GOP Chairman Bill Fey and Assembly Majority Leader Alex DeCroce (R-Parsippany) have called on Lucas to drop out of the race amidst other allegations of racially insensitive remarks. Don't expect Lucas to leave the race anytime soon.

1. He's politically astute.

[FiveGoodMen]

2. Someone will be along any minute to explain that there are two sides to this

and that the officer was actually right

and that it's tragic that you don't get it

and "remember the Duke Lacrosse players"

[bbernardini]

5. Gee, I can't imagine who you're talking about...

;)

[fishwax]

15. or that the comment really had more to do with class than race

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. Are we sure the neighbors weren't unsupervised and too rowdy?

I'd hate for this to be another Duke lacrosse case.

[and-justice-for-all]

4. A GOP bigot?? NOOOOO

I am shocked... :sarcasm:

6. This could get interesting.

Sources say that Lucas was not invited to attend an event in Gloucester County on Monday that will feature GOP gubernatorial candidate Christopher Christie and Republican National Chairman Michael Steele. Steele, who is African American, will likely be asked if he supports Lucas, the winner of the June 2 Republican primary.

I'd love to see Steele trying to dance around this question.

7. New Jersey? Sweet Jeebus! I figured we were talking Mississippi.

12. I really tend to want to be proud of my home state but.... sigh

When I was a teen, in the late 70's, early 80's, I started shaving my head for football. Then the freaking skinheads started showing up... fucking Jersey skinheads, I never would have guessed. I started getting people giving me dirty looks in the street and yelling crap at me... I was kind like...WTF? Then I found out about the skinheads being around and I just let my hair grow in again.

13. Why? Because only Southern whites

say incredibly stupid, racist things? :crazy:

[Buzz Clik]

16. Clearly not.

8. GOP chair sez Lucas is guilty of "Darwinian nonsense"

Man, a little electoral panic just brings out the stoopid in all the Goopers up there.

10. Stay classy, Lucas.

:eyes:

[Rage for Order]

11. No he didn't!

Seriously? I'm sorry, but all I can do is shake my head and laugh at this sad sack of excrement

[billyoc]

14. He'll be elected in a fucking LANDSLIDE.

[OHdem10]

17. Where was this? State???

Whew???????

[sakabatou]
