(CNN) A North Carolina congressman locked in a tight re-election race admitted Tuesday to recently telling a crowd of John McCain supporters that "liberals hate real Americans," the latest in a string of comments from Republicans that appear to question Democrats' patriotism.
In his statement Tuesday, Hayes suggested he meant to differentiate between the liberal and conservative philosophies rather than directly impugn the patriotism of his opponents.
"Liberals are advocating higher taxes, which I believe punish success and they are advocating policies like gay marriage that I feel undermine strong families," he said. "We have a strong difference of opinion about the future of our nation, but obviously this was the wrong way to get that difference of opinion across."
McCain spokeswoman Nancy Pfotenhauer also turned heads when she said over the weekend that Northern Virginia, did not represent 'real Virginia' because of the influx of Democrats to the region in recent years.
I certainly agree that northern Virginia has gone more Democratic. And as a proud resident of Oakton, Virginia I can tell you that the Democrats have just come in from the District of Columbia and moved into northern Virginia. And thats really what you see there. But the rest of the state, real Virginia if you will, I think will be very responsive to Senator McCains message," she said.
dividing the country is what the republican party is all about.
They're getting out of control... even for wingnuts. But Rush told them it's okay to think/act this way for how many years?
Oh jeez Louise. Looney Tunes re-run night tonight.
That the best you have Willow? I noticed you haven't responded to any of my new threads, why is that? Usually you have something to say to everything.

Remember, if your state votes Democrat then your a treason making terrorist who is out to destroy America.
Yes, sometimes the mile high mountain of donkeydung leaves me speechless.
Kerry on DUmmie!
Right, in other words you can't refute facts Willow so why bother huh?
... as were the fomenters of the Boston Tea Party out to destroy the American Colonies, as seen by the conservatives of the day...

Maybe I agree with the facts? There's that possibility. Go Congressman!
Psst, don't use facts Joe. You might confuse certain people.
If voting Democrat makes me a terrorist, then sign me up.
How about if voting democratic makes you a patriot?
-Joe
I think voting Democratic makes you a patriot.
Seriously though, I think what this congressman said was very wrong and there is no use in him saying sorry for it since he actually believes it.
I may joke around on this thread pretending to use the Republican POV in this case but I can't stand people like this congressman really.
Oh so you agree with Hayes that Liberals hate "real americans."
I guess all those soldiers serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and in the country past who are Liberals aren't real americans to you.
See how that logic of yours is fucked right there? If you do believe that, you sicken me.
Never mind all the other Liberals in this country who love this country but hate the path it's on.
Voting at all is what makes us patriots... that and spirited discussions at USMB!
Lets give them a 90% + turn out this year!
-Joe
