Hayworth demands apology from Suns

PHOENIX - Arizona U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Hayworth is demanding an apology from the Phoenix Suns.

The Suns came out against S.B. 1070 and will wear their "Los Suns" jerseys Wednesday night against the Spurs.

"For (Suns General Manager) Steve Kerr to make comparisons with this law with Nazi Germany is beyond the pale," he said. "He should apologize, that has no basis in fact."

Hayworth said it appears Kerr has not actually read the bill.

"In the law are these words: Respecting the civil rights of all persons," he said. "Steve's a smart guy, but I bet he hasn't read the bill."

Hayworth added that Suns owner Robert Sarver is a hypocrite because he is expecting the federal government to do something he would not.

"Does he (Robert Sarver) want a bunch of people showing up tonight, basically walking into the arena without tickets, taking the best seats in the arena for tonight's game, demanding free food and drinks and then after the game demanding unfettered access to the players," he asked of the team's owner, "of course not."

Hayworth said it is a shame the Suns diverted attention away from what he said is a great playoff series.

1. Here's your apology, Mr. Hayworth

"We're sorry if you were offended, nutball."

[Initech]

61. I have a better apology:

[Warpy]

2. Here's your apology, Mr. Hayworth

(_|_)

[Cha]

3. Sorry, you're teabaggin' pandering idiot, hayworth. nt

[Hello_Kitty]

4. What an asshole. eom

[Lint Head]

5. Actual human beings don't give a S#*T what you think Hayworth!

Hey, Hayworth you're an obvious coward. It is also obvious that you have a mental disability. Please get help before you damage other people with your insane bull.

[HughMoran]

6. Stupid arrogant fool wants to be a servant of the people?

He's awfully mixed up about what a politician is supposed to do.

[BlueInMass]

23. Can you imagine?

A politician that wants to protect Americans from people that come here illegally, with a significant portion of those people involved in various levels of crime? People that come here illegally and sap the resources of those communities in which they settle? Many of the border states have significant budgetary issues to do illegal immigration.

I hate to say it, but this guy might be doing exactly what our politicians should be doing. Our politicians are supposed to work for America, not those that sneak in. I do not like being on the side of the Repugs on this, but I grew up in a border town and can still remember strange people running through the yard at all hours of the day and night. For those that cannot see the other side of this, you probably have not had the experience of not being able to be out in the neighborhood, or even the yard, by yourselves as a child because you never knew who was going to be passing through.

This is obviously an issue I have a hard time with being liberal-minded, yet seeing the reality of the situation.

[HughMoran]

28. I imagine that tombstone didn't take long before it was adminstered

Nice try though.

[frylock]

43. can you imagine?

can you imagine a stupid racist blowhard making up ridiculous analogies that have absolutely no basis in fact?

[smoogatz]

7. What a warped analogy.

As though undocumented workers get to demand the best of anything. As though the country is a business, run for profit. What the fuck is wrong with these people? Oh, wait--they're racist douchebags. Never mind.

On edit: Hayworth either just won the primary, or just lost it. If I was him, I'd hate to find myself running against both John McCain AND the Phoenix Suns, but that's where Hayworth just positioned himself.

[Johonny]

8. Your apology will come via Jack Abramoff

just keep checking your bank account.

[disillusioned73]

9. The REAL sad part is..

it's gonna be either this guy or John McCain - does the Dem stand a chance??

[smoogatz]

11. Do Latinos vote in Arizona?

I hate to answer a question with a question, but there you go.

[EFerrari]

15. I"m betting they do in record numbers. n/t

[disillusioned73]

26. I hope so

[EFerrari]

27. I'm also thinking that there will be a vigorous attempt to suppress

the Latino vote. We need poll minders in those precincts. I'm in CA and not sure how to do that or help it happen.

[ChazII]

31. They can always vote by mail. Then

they will not be bothered at their voting place. I live in the Tempe area and vote by mail.

[EFerrari]

32. That's s good idea. It does require an organized effort, too, though.

Because there's usually a deadline to sign people up to get a ballot, right?

[ChazII]

38. Yes, you do have to sign up for early voting but

only once. After you are signed up all of you ballots for future elections come in the mail. If you forget to vote early, you just drop off the signed ballot at your polling place.

[KatyMan]

10. yes:

"Does he (Robert Sarver) want a bunch of people showing up tonight, basically walking into the arena without tickets, taking the best seats in the arena for tonight's game, demanding free food and drinks and then after the game demanding unfettered access to the players," he asked of the team's owner, "of course not."

Because everyone knows it's the illegal aliens that are in the best restaurants, the best neighborhoods, the best schools, in the luxury boxes, lighting cigars with hundred dollar bills....

[Renew Deal]

12. To answer Hayworths question.... That's why the Suns have security at the door.

While Hayworth didn't do ANYTHING in his years in congress to truly protect the border.

[City Lights]

13. Piss off, Hayworthless.

You racist punk.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. Viva Los Suns

[NNN0LHI]

16. Steve Kerr has been a favorite of mine since his time with the Chicago Bulls

Many of his clutch shots were the difference in winning an NBA Championship.

He usually made them.

Don

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Kerr

<snip>Kerr ended his career as a dependable bench player who could make jump shots and three-pointers in critical moments. Even when he was with the Chicago Bulls, and both he and Michael Jordan were on the floor at the same time, when a free throw had to be taken due to a technical foul, Kerr was usually the one to take the shot.

[ThoughtCriminal]

44. Watched him play at U of Arizona

He is greatly admired here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Kerr

[bridgit]

17. Hayworth is a tea-nut-bag-case always has been

[EFerrari]

18. Is it just me or is this guy not very smart going up against a popular team?

[Cha]

57. That was my first thought. nt

[Touchdown]

19. I demand an apology from Hayworth's Mother!

... 'nuff said!

[MkapX]

21. racist

"Does he (Robert Sarver) want a bunch of people showing up tonight, basically walking into the arena without tickets, taking the best seats in the arena for tonight's game, demanding free food and drinks and then after the game demanding unfettered access to the players,"

Isn't it interesting how not a single one of these supporters can make an argument without sounding racist.

[EFerrari]

25. They it that on purpose. When people say this idiot has to run

"far to the right", that means he has to appeal to racists and nativists.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

48. deleted-dupe

:hide:

[laststeamtrain]

20. What? Did he bet on the Spurs to win in Game 2 ? n/t.

[DefenseLawyer]

22. Sounds like Homer Stokes going after the Soggy Bottom Boys

Is you is or is you ain't my constituency?

[bluestateguy]

24. Demanded and denied.

Thank you.

[JaneQPublic]

29. GOP Politicians spend half their waking day demanding apologies.

The sad part is that half the time the Dems give them.

[joeybee12]

30. Hey Hayworth, I'm sorry...I'm sorry you're an asshole...n/t

[Nikki Stone1]

33. Much as I hate the AZ law, I'm getting kind of sick of Nazi references

Maybe it's just me, but can we put Hitler to rest already?

[TheCowsCameHome]

34. Tell the Bronze Elephant to kiss your ass, Mr. Sarver.

[amb123]

35. He's such a tiny-brained little insect.

I don't give a flying finger what he says.

[librechik]

36. We're sorry you're a racist dick with no appreciation of American Diversity

go pay somebody to blow you

[Supersedeas]

37. GENERAL McMAVERICK has been quiet and especially cowardly here recently...huh?

[RobertPlant]

39. speaking of Hayworth

I hear that in AZ, they are creating one or two new house districts. If he doesn't win the senate race, I've heard he may run for congress in the new district.

[MurrayDelph]

40. Hayworth doesn't like the comparison?

Hey, JD, if the jackboots fit, wear them!

[11 Bravo]

41. JD, I'm sorry, Hell, we're ALL sorry that you're a fucking idiot.

But life handed you lemons, now please go make some lemonade. Maybe a little stand somewhere in downtown Phoenix would keep you in Sarah Palin books, vaseline, and rubber gloves. What more could a tea-bagger want?

[frylock]

42. picking lettuce is just like having a courtside seat..

fucking idiot.

[Foo Fighter]

45. Show your support for the Phoenix Suns.

They're probably getting bombarded by the astroturfers so drop them a line and thank them for taking a stand. I don't follow the NBA at all (not even one bit) but the Suns just got themselves a fan.

[harry_pothead]

46. Here's your apology Hayworth

[depakid]

47. Steve's a smart guy alright- though it's abundantly clear that Mr. Hayworth is not

[SalmonChantedEvening]

49. "Does he (Robert Sarver) want a bunch of people showing up tonight

basically walking into the arena without tickets, taking the best seats in the arena for tonight's game, demanding free food and drinks and then after the game demanding unfettered access to the players?"


Why, will the Palins be in town?

[Dogtown]

50. Whiny little prick, ain't he?

:wow:

[Tx4obama]

51. Arizona in Crayola

[Arugula Latte]

52. And I demand Hayworth strip nekkid, smear honey all over his flabby, pasty white body,

and go sit on a red ant hill.

[fishwax]

53. oh piss off, Hayworth -- you owe an apology to the state of Arizona

[Arkana]

54. For one night the Phoenix Suns need to become

the Phoenix Fuck You JD Hayworths.

[Tarheel_Dem]

55. I think JD owes me an apology. So there. (nt)

[bullwinkle428]

56. Here's your apology, Foghorn Leghorn : "I'm really sorry that

you are such a complete fucking dumbass, quack, charlatan, opportunist, racist, buffoon, blowhard, sham, hypocrite, shyster, windbag, demagogue, propagandist, reactionary, four flusher, phony, fonzanoon and mountebank!

(Thank you, KO!)

[thelordofhell]

58. I apologize

That a former bad sportscaster on the local news ever lucked out enough to be electeced to any position in government.

Kiss my fuckin' ass Hayworth.

Sincerely,
A Los Suns fan

[Aristus]

59. Hmmm.

"Does he (Robert Sarver) want a bunch of people showing up tonight, basically walking into the arena without tickets, taking the best seats in the arena for tonight's game, demanding free food and drinks and then after the game demanding unfettered access to the players," he asked of the team's owner, "of course not."

Sounds an awful lot like what we did to Mexico back in the 1840's. Is that what he's describing?

[saracat]

60. Hayworth should know about demanding "free food and drink and tickets"

It was what he lived for in DC. He was well known on the cocktail circuit for flinching food and was known as a real hog. He wasn't a well liked guest.

[NavyDem]

62. Suns to J.D. Hayworth....

FUCK YOU!!!! :evilgrin:
