A Republican lawmaker in Kansas apologized Tuesday for remarks suggesting that illegal immigrants should be shot like feral swine, but his statement didn't quiet the furor over what he said was a "regrettable" joke.

The League of United Latin American Citizens' national office in Washington described the comments from state Rep. Virgil Peck, of Tyro, as "despicable" and called upon him to resign. And U.S. Rep. Charles Gonzalez, a Texas Democrat who is chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said such remarks "have no place in our national discourse."

Leaders of the Kansas House's Republican majority called the remarks inappropriate but said they accepted Peck's apology and were confident such a lapse in judgment will not occur again. The leaders' statement suggested they weren't planning disciplinary action, but Speaker Mike O'Neal declined to comment further.

Asked whether he intended to resign, Peck said: "Nope."

Peck made his comments during a Monday meeting of the House Appropriations Committee as it discussed whether the state should try to control the wild hog population by using gunmen in helicopters.

He said, "If shooting these immigrating feral hogs works, maybe we have found a (solution) to our illegal immigration problem."

Sounds like the same type of thing regularly said on here.

Usually followed up with whining about how everyone calls them racist.

This guy appears to be Biden dumb

I missed the part where it stated Rep. Peck was a "teabagger," or is our resident mensa member using his superior brain power to assume such?

Nevertheless, this politician is going to have a helluva time finding somebody to cut his grass.

Nice spin.

He helped us lazy people by putting more than just a link. Seriously clicking on that link would have prevented me from reading the story.

Thank you. Just posting a link is a pet peeve of mine - give me a couple of paragraphs to decide if it is worth clicking the link or not. I was just helping the lazy out

As opposed to libs, who won't call one of their own a racist. Funny thing that OSBF posts a thread about a racist right after he started a racist thread himself.

OSBF = racist.

Pretty sure just about everyone from both sides blasted OSBF for that thread.

I absolutely agree. Put a small portion of the story along with the link so we have some idea of what is in it.

Or you can just post the link so as to not clutter up the thread. In these days of high speed internet takes a few seconds to click on a link and have the article pop up. You have people on here who paste whole damn articles that you have to scroll down to get past. Annoying.

He didn't post the entire article. That would be in violation of copyright law.

No way dude. You have to take the bad with the good.

Call me rascist, but I think his comments were fokking hilarious. What wouldn't be funny is if he tried to act upon those same comments.....shooting a moving target from a helicopter is hard, not funny....

Take a look at that thread, jellyboy. YOU did not blast him at all. Very telling.

All you did was argue with tampdude and AG1.

Once again, you prove to be a spineless and mindless liberal who refuses to recognize ugliness in all forms. So quick to call Tea Party people racists...incapable of saying the same about another liberal.

And NO ONE from the left called OSBF a racist for that thread...even though he was clearly separating the nips because of their race. Nobody brought up race, not OSBF's or the victims'. OSBF hid behind some "money" issue, and the fact that Americans were suffering. But it had nothing to do with that. It was race...plain and simple. He doesn't like the slant eyes. And you gave him a pass.
