The laughable hotdog vender/weddingDJ/bigot/hate monger/asshole Tom Bennett was caught again doing what he does best...spewing racist comments on local access television.
Here's what the jackass had to say about President-Elect Barack Obama last Tuesday.
I'm in total awe seeing how many people voted for this monkey I can't believe it but that's the way it goes...
Saving me the hassle, this time, a reporter from the Fairfield Weekly nailed him.
Last week, I was flipping channels and came across Big T wearing a "McCain" hat on another public-access how, Al Bruhn's "USA TV Talk/Sport Live," and talking about President-elect Barack Obama.
Chances were he'd say something racist.
He said Obama wasn't his president and he didn't have to acknowledge him. (Fair enough; Bush II wasn't mine.) Then he said Obama swore on the Koran when he became a senator. (Not true, as a caller pointed out). Next, he said Obama was a monkey, a statement that had "nothing to do with color."
Baiting Big T is a bit of a Danbury tradition so I called in to ask how the use of a known racial slur "had nothing to do with color." Bennett said "monkey" was a random animal he picked and he could have easily called Obama a tiger. Then he said I called him a racist (which I didn't). Growing tired of arguing, I signed off by saying, "I love you." Turning up my television's volume, he responded by calling me a homosexual.
This was a pretty tame exchange — considering Bennett has been documented calling for illegal immigrants to be shot on site (repeatedly), blaming the influx of Ecuadorians in Danbury on "Jewish slave-owners" and suggesting that homosexuality can and should be cured by inserting a long needle into the brain. He's so retro, he even called Robinson a "spook" — and an "ape."

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
Dumb dumb is at it again...
