Towel Heads-Jim Webb Born Racist

Towel Heads?

"Towel-heads and rednecks -- of which I am one. If you write that word, please say that. I mean, I don't use that pejoratively, I use it defensively. Towel-heads and rednecks became the easy villains in so many movies out there."-Jim Webb

You don't need a foreign dictionary to know the meaning of that racial slur. But I am a redneck so please explain. If macaca is the N-Word, then what is a Towel Head? Is it Arab? Iraqi? Indian? Or is it founded in religion? Muslim? Hindu? Jewish prayer cloth?

Watch the double standard from the left begin. They spent 3 days defining macaca. I want to know what or who Jim Webb considers a Towel Head. I am sure Bob Gibson and Mike Shear are on the case.

Others Blogging The Virginian Federalist- Dogwood Pundit- The Mason Conservative- Hampton Roads Politics- NLS calls the comment stupid. Come on Ben! The comment was about race or religion or both. Call it fairly!

UPDATE- Ward Rules!
