Hate Talk Express

In a strange exchange between former Maryland Governor (and hoping to be Governor again someday) Bob Ehrlich and a caller on his radio talk show this week, the Governor seemed to imply, in agreeing with a caller, that should Obama get elected, we will get some sort of civil war between the Black Panthers and the KKK.

Here is a transcript of the exchange:

Dee (Female Caller): "I think that if he (Barack Obama) is elected President that you will have all these people coming out of the woodwork - the militants, the Muslims, the Black Panthers - and then on the white side you will have the Ku Klux Klan with the skinheads. I mean they will be empowered because they will be, all these people will be emboldened with all this hate. And I don’t see how that’s going to heal this county because, huh, this is what we’ll have to deal with. "

Gov. Ehrlich: "Dee, I wish I could clone you. I wish I could clone you (laughter). I know it’s illegal."

Ehrlich's wife piled on to the praise, saying the caller was an "informed voter":

Mrs. Ehrlich: "You are an informed voter, which is what we were talking about, you have gotten into specifics."
