A week after publicly suggesting that African-Americans were, by and large, ethically challenged, quoting:

…Ethics among Blacks is usually a lacking character trait.

Mr. Aymond called the majority African-American City Council a “pack of monkeys”:

Hateration

Tonight and tomorrow night, The Westboro Baptist Church, home of America’s most enraged bigots, will be in my neck of the woods.  I am not pleased.
