Republican State Assembly candidate Lee Lucas dropped the N word during a 2006 dispute with neighbors.  When questioned by police, Lucas not only freely admitted to using the epithet, he was completely unapologetic about his decision to use a word that most can agree ispretty darned offensive:

“Yeah, I said that,” a police officer says Lucas told him.  “It's my freedom of speech. I can say what I want while I'm on my property.” PolitickerNJ.com

While other Republicans are distancing themselves from Lucas, nobody seems to expect him to pull a Palin quit the race.

Ummm, happy civility day?
