I just happen to be on a radio show as a representative for the democrats the night
that it was announced that Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell switched party's and became a republican...
The host, a local GOP gadfly, asked me what I thought about that and I quipped, well, I guess you guys will have to start using the term Native American now and stop referring to Native Americans as Injun's...
Not that politically correct but it did shut the guy up and several callers called laughing at the host.
I wasn't on the show again for about three months...Over and over again the leftists at DU crow about how they "shut up" a conservative.
It's always amazing to me how they take someone being speechless because of what a jerk the leftist is being and interpret it as "winning".

2. Bwah! Fast thinking -- and true! nt
And predictably, just like those that "called laughing at the host" others on the left applaud rude behavior.
And by the way....I grew up in a conservative community close to an Indian Reservation (and continue to visit there frequently)....and I went to school with Native Americans and it is only from the left that I have heard them referred to as "Injuns".
