Meg Whitman Is An Anti-Gay Bigot. Is Her Son a Racist Bigot?

whitmangriffwill

We’ve yet to see the “serious” media question California gubernatorial hopeful and Prop 8-supporter Meg Whitman on the antics of her children, but reports that her younger son Will throws around the n-word might start prompting some to wonder: Is the Whitman household one big batch of hatred?

Whitman’s two sons Griff (the fifth) and Will Harsh may be this woman’s biggest campaign liabilities. Griff was allegedly suspended from Princeton — which Meg donated $30 million to, and has a dorm that bears the family’s name. And now Will, also a Princeton student, was supposedly banned from the Cottage Club, one of the school’s hoity-toity eating clubs, afte rdropping the n-bomb at a black girl, report Gawker and Guest of a Guest.

All along their prep school (which Will was kicked out of, twice) and college adventures, the gossip mill says these boys paraded around their wealth, excusing their obnoxious, and now racist behavior with mama’s money.

We’re not saying a candidate should be judged by the actions of her children. But certainly a household led by a bigoted woman is more likely to yield bigoted children.

I live in CA and hear her radio ads often. She plays up her business/CEO credentials and plays down the fact that she is a Republican. I don’t think it’s been mentioned at all.

This race is Jerry Brown’s to lose.

Not only racist but Meg apparently doesn’t like Jews allegedly according to the quoted article:

“OH and I almost forgot about the time he refused to introduce a girlfriend to his family because she was Jewish…”

Whitman sounds like a real winner if all reports are true: homophobic, racist, and antisemitic. Is she running as a Republican or a neo-Nazi?

Am I shocked? Not at all. It’s rare to find bigotry towards one group and not find it towards another–or many others. Those who think they’re superior like to consider themselves at the top of the heap, not somewhere in the middle.

I’m no fan of Meg Witless. But if you are going to be so judgmental about parenting, don’t be looking at the sons of a lot of politicians and ceo’s of all stripes. What you see might terrify you. Boys often will just be boys. And daughters? They can be douche baguettes, too. Doesn’t anyone on this site remember high school?

I am strongly urging the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender community throughout the entire state of California to VOTE for someone such as Jerry Brown, instead of this Meg Whitman person. In my humble opinion: JERRY BROWN FOR CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR 2010. Promise me, promise me, promise me that you sexy Gay men will.

So in other words, William Kennedy Smith, who went drinking with his uncle Ted, and then committed felonies, was somehow a byproduct of Ted? We are each responsible for ourselves, and blaming the parent for the spawn just because we don’t like their politics for me is hypocrisy. I am sick and tired of the left (of whom I’m a long, proud member) stooping to the tactics of the right wing. If that’s all we’re good for, then we are in trouble, and part of the curse, not part of the cure. But enough about “outing” only those whom we don’t agree with.

I support the outing of closet case hypocrites, and your analysis is quite similar. Whitman has made family values an issue of her candidacy, so her family’s values are an important factor. Not just “fair game” but should be part and parcel of her qualifications. Thanks Schteve.

Fitz, not to be condescending, but do you know anything about CA politics?

For a Dem to win statewide office in CA, all he or she needs to win the vote rich LA County and the Bay Area counties. Dems always lose the Central Valley. They’ve actually made inroads in traditionally conservative Inland Empire, and San Diego and Ventura counties.

Before he was recalled, Gray Fucking Davis was actually elected twice.

@ambwww@yahoo.com:
She is a Racist! against minorities and gays alike.
She blatantly says on her ads that she supports Arizona’s profiling law which is as racist as you can get.

If your Latino or even look like your Latino you will get pulled over while driving to the store to buy some milk and asked for your documents!

who and why should anyone in the United states have to carry a passport, birth certificate or any other personal documents while driving or walking in town.

Bigotry that has this Country in the state it is in, after all we are all “people” living on this planet together” human beings not Aliens! or Illegal!

Where has compassion for your fellow man gone? Politicians use anything to sway people to their side at all cost, its just disgusting how Meg Whitman has conducted herself she hasnt even voted in 28 years! how patriotic can she be?
