Signs Using Racial Slur for Obama Reported at Kentucky Campus
Lexingto Herald -Leader ^ | Mar 25, 2011 | Linda B. Blackford

University of Kentucky officials are investigating two incidents in which someone hung signs that called President Barack Obama a racial epithet.

On March 15, a professor noticed one such sign hanging on a door to the UK School of Law on South Limestone. He turned it in to campus police, who are investigating, said spokesman Jay Blanton.

Early Thursday morning, third year law student Ches Clark said he found a sign affixed to a bus shelter on South Lime near Maxwelton Court. The sign said "How Do You Spell Nigger? OBAMA."

The letters looked to be cut out of a menu, glued to another piece of paper and photocopied, Clark said.

I don't know, something doesn't ring true about this whole thing to me - maybe it's the "law student" that just happened to "see" it.

Race relations have been set back 100 years.

It's not my fault.

Sure seems like every time Obama does something that gets a little criticism from the media, a sign suddenly appears with a “racial slur” or a person is accused of spitting on a black congressperson. Diversion anyone?

I did realize that using that word was now an offense that the police would investigate. I guess the next time I'm in a store and hear a couple black men using the term in reference to each other I'd better call the cops...

When I read the headline, I thought it was going to be something like, “You dirty racial epithet!”

Good God! The horror! Next thing you know they'll be searching bathroom stalls for racist graffiti. Will it never end?

It's a tried and true tactic of the left. Dig a bit beneath the surface and it's a near certainty about who and what was really behind the sign.

Excuse me, but what does the university have against free speech?

Was there a similar crackdown against the people who called conservatives "teabaggers", "racists" and other nasty names?

Good point! A number of the noose incidents were found to have been hoaxes, in which the allegedly offended persons who found the nooses were the ones who planted them there, to be discovered.

How many times can the boy cry wolf? So we’re supposed to be upset and alarmed that someone in a college discovered an unflattering description of Obama?

See if the MSM goes off the deep end on this, as they have done with the noose cases.

Well, first of all, OF COURSE this is another example of Leftist false hate crimes.

But second, WHAT exactly are police "investigating"? You can hear much worse on the radio 24/7.

I am old enough to remember when even distasteful messages like that were considered freedom of speech. Now the perp felt he had to take more precautions than for writing a ransom note.

Planted by liberals. Whenever this crap appears on college campuses look for the unhinged leftists to have staged it. Be it the noose on the door knob, the spraypainted message on the auto, or other epithets being hurled.

Always turns out to be from the left.

If only the right would just live up to their pre-conceived notions of us they wouldn’t have to fabricate these hate crimes.

Yep, as fake as all the other false flag smears they’ve tried to pull off before. Let’s hope the local thought police identify the culprits, not that the follow on story will make the press.

I care how exactly?

Did the Lexington Herald or whatever pay any attention to or report about those racial slurs and such hurled at Repus, etc. in Wis. or a few other places? Pfffffft! =.=

"How Do You Spell Nigger? OBAMA."

It had to have been done by a public school "student". Home schooled, conservative kids can spell better than that.

Or it could be that nooses have gone out of style.
