Oh yes he did. Cracker-ass illiterate, Lynn Westmoreland (GA-R)-- you may remember him from his appearance on The Colbert Report, where he displayed what a dumb-ass hypocrite he is -- called Obama, "Uppity." Georgia Republican Rep. Lynn Westmoreland used the racially-tinged term "uppity" to describe Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama Thursday.
Westmoreland was discussing vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's speech with reporters outside the House chamber and was asked to compare her with Michelle Obama.
"Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they're a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they're uppity," Westmoreland said.
Westmoreland so clearly went to the Dubya school of publik speakin'. Photo: West-
moreland's family were also in attendance at the festivities. Tell me you can't see the resemblance...
Another H/T to WT, The Dependable Renegade
UPDATE: Brian Reynolds, spokesman for rep. Westmoreland, said the congressman stands by what he said. When asked to clarify, Westmoreland said, “Uppity, yeah.”
Call Westmoreland's office 202-225-5901 and let him know how you feel. That is, unless you think that's 'too uppity'.

I'm an atheist. I could name five more commandments off the top of my head than Westmoreland could (I did it over at Taylor's place. I'm too uninterested to even look for the article). Yet he wants to plaster the damn things on the U.S. Capital. How stupid is that?
Apparently he's as unfamiliar with the Constitution as he is with his own religion. Which is probably because he's a complete and utter git.
Just updated the story with a photo...have a look.
