New Bigot/Speaker of the House in Nevada

Nevada Assemblyman Ira Hansen, who Republicans have chosen to be their new speaker, is very sorry for that very long and detailed history of every single thing he ever said.

If Republicans still allow him to be their speaker, he promises his door will be open to all. Even Nevada's "Negros," who no doubt understand the Confederate flag is just there to remind them of their "lack of gratitude" to white folks. And Hispanic Nevadans, even though it seems like all the "criminal activity" you read about in his state is "dominated" by them. And even LGBT Nevadans, who "fill their ranks" with "child molesters, called 'pederasts,'" are free to schedule appointments with his staff. You're all welcome to come share your thoughts with him, just don't mess with his career opportunities or bring up any of those things he said.

"I am deeply sorry that comments I have made in the past have offended many Nevadans. It is unfortunate that these comments, made almost 20 years ago as a newspaper columnist and talk radio host, have been taken out of context and are being portrayed as intentionally hurtful and disrespectful.

How the hell can comments made over an entire columnist and talk show career be taken "out of context"? What additional "context" could possibly be provided? Pictures you drew in the third grade? An explanation of plate tectonics? When you boast about having a confederate flag pinned to the wall of your office, what "context" are we missing there?
