"Help, help, I'm being repressed"

And not in the way you typically think when it comes to Lindsey Graham:
“Rick Perry is not a racist,” Graham said, saying the Texas governor is the victim of an “intimidation” campaign. “You know if you’re a southern white guy, it is part of your life,” Graham complained.
Yes, pity the poor "Southern White Guy", who has been more set upon in history, amongst at least white men of the South, than the Southern White Male? Just ask them.

Romney needs to buy a better class of decoy. These models self-destruct within a few weeks.

Graham:
"As a Southern White Man, I can't begin to tell you how difficult it is to get through a day without saying, "n****r".

Just following a noble tradition.

"Stop Oppressing me!"
- Nathan Bedford Forrest*

"I do what I do to end the long years of oppression of the southern white man."
- Robert E. Lee*

On a side note, and to be fair, there really were quite a few southern men on the Union side.

*made up quotes in the TeaBirchNeoconfederateRepublican tradition - "but it sounds like something they would have said."

There is nobody in all of human history who has been as oppressed as much as a racist, white conservative who has been called on his/her bullshit or, even worse, held accountable for his/her words and actions.

It's political correctness that's intimidating. If your opinion is not politically correct, you'd better not express it.

And, boy, howdy, nobody knows about oppression and intimidation like a United States Senator, especially a white one from South Carolina....
