Remarks against Obama probed
Durham police conducting internal investigation; chief says it wasn't a slur

Stanley B. Chambers Jr., Staff Writer

DURHAM - Derogatory remarks toward President-elect Barack Obama made on a social networking Web site are now the subject of an internal police investigation. A police department employee claims the statements were made on the MySpace pages of two Durham officers.

"There's no exact words that were said," said Police Chief Jose L. Lopez Sr. in a telephone interview Wednesday from San Diego, where he is attending the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference. "It wasn't a racial slur, but we're still investigating it."....................

I believe the early Christians used codes so that the Romans wouldn't know what they were talking about.

Can't believe that I am even suggesting that! It's scary to think that something like conservatives, Republicans, liberatarians, and Christians in the United States of America making use of codes to communicate and not be investigated even crossed my mind.

“This is a shot across the bow of conservative talk radio. Its not only what you say, its what you think about our dear leader. And to think, the sob is not even president yet.”

No he has not been sworn in yet, and just maybe there is still some hope he won’t be! Call me crazy if you must but I am among many others who want to know the truth one way or the other before we accept Obama as our President. If he is constitutionally qualified so be it. But right now there are STILL unanswered questions that will be answered only when Obama makes his documents public. Question is, why won’t he do that and make me and others look like fools for questioning his constitutional requirements??

"The Thought Police in full effect."

I worked for NY State Corrections for many years. Back in '96, a Correction Officer at a downstate facility, who had worked in the job for 18 years, flew the Nazi flag at his home residence. He was charged with violations to State rules and regulations, and suspended without pay. A State arbitrator found in favor of the officer, and the State was ordered to reinstate him. They chose instead to appeal the case to two lower courts and lost both times. During the appeal process the State paid the Officer his yearly salary. In 1999, the State took the case to the Appeals Court and lost again. Although the judge found the Officer's behavior reprehensible, he said the State had no grounds to fire him. They were forced to reinstate him and pay him his back salary.

I remember this story being discussed on FR back when the Appellate Court came down with their decision. While most people thought the guy was a dope for flying the flag, they supported his right to do so. I'm afraid we're in for a long 4 years, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of us here on FR aren't targeted by Obama's minions in one way or another. To them, we're no different than Conservative talk radio. Back when Bubba was first elected, a bunch of us sent out post cards telling the Toon to stay away from Arlington on Memorial Day. I can't even remember now where I got them from, but they were pre-printed with a message to Clinton. Not long afterward my taxes were audited for a previous year, which was pretty funny since I had filed the short form for the year I was being audited. I got a good laugh out of it anyway.

"This code of conduct is so broad that it basically means that the department can come down on any officer at any time over anything."

Open up to their interpretation. See my comment at #87.

How does my hair look?
Looks good to me but now that the Kennedy era is back, a little more teasing and forehead coverage should do wonders for your coiffure.

note that on his adminstration’s “employment application” zerO’s team asks applicants for every alias or handle they ever used on the internet

I think some FOIA requests are warranted; This could get interesting!

i believe obamma lamma ding dong to be an empty suit that really does not like America.
I believe he is a p.o.s. and if something were to happen to him like a freight train run over his big eared skinny ass I would not lose a moments sleep.
Am I advocating someone kill the turd? No.
Do I need to worry about the freaking f.b.i. coming and knocking the door down? who knows at this point.

Another sufferer of Durham back at ya. No one in my neighborhood put up any Palin/McCain signs for fear of vandalism or worse. I hate this place!

Oh, yeah, black can no longer be used unless we have many superlatives and adjectives before and after it, all good of course. Saying something like “black hole”, the “night is black”, looks like the market is facing a “black day” just can’t be tolerated anymore, don’t ya know!/SAR

Back when, I wanted to visit Durham, NC on a vacation one day, having visited there briefly back in the early 70s when we took my cousin to Duke for graduate school. It looked like a very nice, well kept town.

After this....I just crossed Durham off my places to visit list. Maybe there is a conservative & American place in NC where I can vacation one of these days.

If racially charged speech is illegal, why isn’t Rev. Wright locked up and doing hard time? And Obama too, for writing about “the white man’s greed in a world of need.” As I white person, I’m personally offended but I’m not calling the cops. Which is good because you they’d investigate ME.
