The question on the floor was about a state bill addressing discrimination. One of the candidates responded, claiming that discrimination doesnt exist in Idaho. When it was my turn to speak, I calmly pointed out that just because someone hasnt personally experienced discrimination doesnt mean its not happening. Racism and discrimination are real issues here in Idaho, as anyone familiar with our states history knows. I highlighted our weak hate crime laws and mentioned the presence of the Aryan Nations in northern Idaho as undeniable evidence of this reality.
Thats when Sen. Foreman lost all control. His words to me: Im so sick and tired of this liberal b*llsh*t! Why dont you go back to where you came from?!

There is a discussion on this in the DU/Editorial Forum, I'm posting here for even more exposure. This man is unhinged. This is not the first time he's gone off in a bigoted rage.

How much more bigoted can this man be? How IGNORANT of History can he be?
Unless one's people were from the original 500 Nations of Native Americans who settled these lands for thousands of years trekking over the Bering Strait from Mongolia and upper Asia to what is now North America, then we are all interlopers.
It was the white European explorers from Christopher Columbus in the latter 15th century that started the great exploration across the Atlantic Ocean to what is now the United States, parts of the Caribbean and Mexico, claiming unchartered lands for their respective countries. The rest they say, is indeed History.
