Protest Over Ass Comment on "Regis and Kelly"

A donkey might be a good symbol for the Democratic Party, but that doesn't mean Dominicans want to be compared to one on national TV.
Play video
Here's what went down. Kelly Ripa told a story on Monday about how one of her 37 kids was learning about government and said the elephant represented the Republicans and the donkey represented the Dominicans. Regis then quipped, "She's pretty close." Ay, caramba!

A Dominican-American group is demanding an apology from the show, claiming "host Regis Philbin practically agreed with laughter over what the two thought was a joke."

Dominican-American and Latino leaders will stage a protest outside the ABC studios tomorrow in NYC where the show airs.

Tomato, tomahto, Democrat, Dominican -- let's call the whole thing off!

136. Some people need to shut the F up cause it's not that we're sensitive. It's simply that NOBODY likes it when another race talks about theirs. I bet if it was about white people , all you Hicks will be mad.Another thing is that Latinos show their emotions. White people hide behind a hood. So before you talk go look at all the asses from your own race. Trust me the U.S is full of white asses.

140. Hi MC, good to hear from you, or should I say YO. I will explain what I do for a living, and then you, or your village (everyone is a team player, right?) will figure out what I do for a living.

1) Yes, I make more than MC, that's a given.

2) Yes, I live in a MD suburb, I live on the water in the sailing capital, it's the capital of MARYLAND . The reason why I type DC is because most people would think I was a real white snob if they knew where I really lived! clue: it starts with an A

3) Yes, I have been drinking!

4) Trick or Treat!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5) Back to what I do for a living, HMMMMMM

6) Let me put it this way, the economy may be going to crap, but everyone wants to know about their chromosomes. Especially the one's who are not here yet.

7)David Letterman blew up a pumpkin

8) He should have blown up MC, and his BLACKberry

9) I'm older what does LMAO mean? I already know, I just ask my 5 yr old?

10) OH, it means MC needs a spelling/grammer lesson. And I RULE BITCH!

P.S. Someone side swiped my car, I think it was MC on his way to BWI Airport to go to Darfur, the airlines have dropped the rates for the holiday/kwanzzzaaaa season!

141. You guys need to understand, im a dominican and we're sick of being stereotyped, WE ARE HARD-WORKIN, HONEST PEOPLE! We're so tired that everyone in your country always speaks about latins, not every dominican is a thief or a drug-addict/dealer, because lets face it, you have quite drug/addicts/dealers yourself, and I CAN TELL FOR SURE, that if it were someone in another country and they'd say any kind of racist o offesinve comment about yourself you would be mad too! 4 u americans....this protest its only bad because we're latins....

144. I agree it's not a big deal!

Just when the Mexicans chant "OSAMA" when they play U.S. soccer team! No big deal!

Osama, Osama, Osama, Osama, Osama! No big deal!

148. The Dominicans can go back home if they don't like the subliminal slip and take the loser politically sensitive suck up Democrats with them. The Nancy Pelosi's, Gavin Newsom, Harry Reid's and the whole nutty like want to do thought patrol on all of us. It is like a gruesom bully cult to think their way or no way at all. This is where we went wrong in America is letting these people control Congress and soon to be the White House. Heaven have mercy on our souls and I am not religious but we will need everything we got. I oppose those who want to "CHANGE" America, it might need a little fixing but I think all of the walking dead (comatose voters who need to be told who to vote for) are all anti-American. The lazy asses should do their own research on the candidates instead of watch T.V. ads. Obama spent ONE BILLION dollars campaigning (by the way thousands of campain funds were illegal from Europe), can you imagine we could spend that on Children's Hospital for cancer research. What a waste for a candidate who is supposed to be so savy at saving the taxpayer dollar. I hope who ever votes for this empty suit gets all the hope and spare change and then some!

146. Do you want to get rid of this "nothing" problem? Gather all the
Dominicans who are here in our country, ILLEGALLY, toss them out and
let them "swim" back to their own country. Who needs them anyway? We
have enough foreign troublemakers!


How many times are you going to make the same ignorant, futile comment? Have you nothing more intelligent to say? Guess what? There is nothing you, or anybody else can do but to drown in in your idiocy, misery, and hatred. You can say anything you want to say, cry, scream, kick, post idiotic comments, or click your heels three times, WE ARE HERE TO STAY!!!!! Whether you or any other bigot likes it. HA HA! It is too bad that you have to live with so much anger and resent the fact that we are here, while we Dominicans enjoy America just like your forefathers did. Have a happy life!!!!

Long live the immigrants!!!! Peace and love

150. This is absolutely halarious. Im Dominican and I am not offended at all. Its so funny
how people think "oh God, these damn minorities are acting up again". I guess since
we're all poor and everything we have no other way of having a say in the media.
so back to the factory primos ay ay ay ay ayyyyyyyy.
