Georgia GOPers like Paula Deen more than MLK
According to a new poll by the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling, Republicans in Georgia have a more favorable opinion of Paula Deen than they do of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Favorability ratings with Georgia Republicans: Paula Deen 73/11, Martin Luther King Jr. 59/28

Deen, of course, was dropped by the Food Network after admitting that “yes, of course” she used the N-word, and amid other allegations of racism by former employees.

Really tho? I didn't know they liked Paula Deen that much. I wonder what the favorability rating would've been before the N-word incident.
That said, if you're a black Republican, smack yourself.
