We don’t have to resort to slurs when the truth is more powerful. Take for example the popular myth that BHO is “black”.
When Nobel Prize winning poet Tony Morrrison can write an October 1988 New Yorker article titled “Clinton as the first black president”, then what is “black”? When the NAACP calls the black conservative Kenneth Gladney, “not black enough”, and “not a brother” then what is “black”? When Time magazine’s Jack White calls Supreme Court Justice Thomas, “the scariest of all the hobgoblins”, saying “Washington seems to be filled with white men who make black people uneasy”, than what is “black”? And when Obama, a man whose mother is Caucasian, can tell us in a widely read autobiography that in his youth he struggled with his racial identity before *deciding* to be black, what is “black”?
When Bill Maher, during a panel discussion on HBO complains that Obama’s policies are “half-assed” “because he’s only half black.” and that “if he was fully black, I’m telling you, he would be a better president.”, and that “there’s a white man in him holding him back”, than what is “black”?
CNN’s Soledad O’Brien writes of a private meeting in 2007 with Jesse Jackson in her book, “The Next Big Story.” During the meeting, Jackson complained to O’Brien, whose mother is a black woman from Cuba, that there weren’t any black anchors on CNN. She wrote, “He looks me in the eye and reaches his fingers over to tap a spot of skin on my right hand. He shakes his head. “You don’t count,” he says.” She closed the section with “[t]he arbiter of blackness had weighed in. I had been measured and found wanting.”
“Black” in all these contexts, as well as Juan Williams’s complaint on Fox News that the extraordinarily lopsided expression of Missouri voter sentiment in August of 2010 rejecting ObamaCare was really about race, is clearly not about “race”. It is about ideology, socialist ideology.
As these expressions of “black” pile up in the mind of the public, more and more will wake up to this truth: socialists will say anything, pull any heart string, evoke any tear and will descend to any dirty trick to advance their favored cause. If we think they have reached bottom with Juan William’s complaint or Bill Maher’s comparison, you haven’t seen anything yet. And that is exactly why these people must be disempowered, defunded and shown to be the frauds they are.
As far as I am concerned, we are all made in the image of God. While we all have the same rights and deserve the same respect, none of us have greater rights or deserve greater respect than anyone else.
With respect to BHO being black: it is not about the race he was born with, it is about the ideology he adopted. It is not what percent black he is, it is about how thoroughly red he is.
There should be some seriously dissuasive penalties for hoaxers, as this seems to me to be on the first read-through. Investigation, anyone?
“The letters looked to be cut out of a menu, glued to another piece of paper and photocopied”
If they can find the photo copier I bet there are some embarrassing fingerprints on it.
I’m calling BOOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGGUUUUUUSSSSSS!..............
When they get equally agitated by someone calling us Tea-baggers, I might start to give a damn about a racial slur.
Until then, their hypocrisy deserves no respect.
Screw race relations, back to the 50s and before!
So, I’m guessing non-racial slurs would be OK...?
Yup. Especially if the station plays rap or hip/hop.
Hey, but calling brothers the N word and glorifying murdering policemen, that's ok because they're not this particular President?
Wonder what kind of signs appeared about Bush on various campuses around the country from 2000-2008? Bet the campus police didn't care about those! In fact, I wouldn't doubt anyone who turned someone in about a Bush sign would get a serious lecture on Feedom of Speech from the Provost's office, if not the Chancellor him/herself.
It’s not true anyway. WE are the n’ers. Right now, he’s da massa’, aaannnd loving it.
It´s okay. It´s a democrat.
A black history professor and naalcp member put that sign there.

You have a full understanding on how the left operates.
The progressive hand book has been exposed.
I found an NWA cd in a used car once. Guess I should have
turned it over to the police. Who knew?
He is a racial slur.
A false-flag plant, until proven otherwise. This has been the case for a good 20 years now.
Can you “provocateur?”
I knew you could.
