“On ‘Fox News Sunday,’ Herman Cain called the name of Perry’s Hunting ‘insensitive.’ Cain added that there ‘isn’t a more vile, negative word than the ‘N word’ and for him to leave it there as long as he did, before I hear that they finally painted over it, it’s just plain insensitive to a lot of black people in this country.’
According to the MiamiHerald.com, Perry’s campaign insisted that the Texas Governor quickly removed the term ‘Niggerhead‘ from the rock after the hunting camp’s name became known to his family. However, The Washington Post reports that a few visitors to Perry’s hunting camp remember seeing the term after the early 1980s, which is when the Texas Governor claims it was removed.” [ READ MORE ]
Herman Cain has uttered the understatement of the century, a hunting camp named “Niggerhead” isn’t merely “insensitive“, it’s abhorrent.
Rick Perry has a lot of splaining to do, this is a controversy than can drive the final nail in his presidential aspirations. Perry needs to hold a press conference to explain his failure to immediately remove the abominable sign.
If I bought or leased a hunting camp that had a huge rock with a racial slur painted on it, I would immediately paint over the words with black paint, blow up the rock, or have it delivered to someone, like Pat Buchanan, who would appreciate the monstrosity.
Rick Perry is acting like this incident is no big thing, and this speaks volumes about him. Perry needs to explain himself, or get out of the race.
“The great white fear of interracial ‘pollution‘ has found its most acute expression with Obama as president. He is the offspring of not simply an interracial relationship, but an international coupling as well. He is the child of 21st century globalization, the symbolic representation of a hope for a world without borders, without race prejudice, without white privilege.
In the face of today’s widespread sexual and racial ‘pollution,‘ those aligned with the Tea Party are fearful, furious. They are desperately holding onto a fictitious past. They worry that America is becoming a mongrel nation and that their privileged status is vanishing. Their collective prejudice is a fear anchored in 19th century notions of nationhood, racial purity and imperial conquest. It is a prejudice that violates the spirit of what is the great hope of America.” [ READ MORE ]

On Monday, putrid anti-immigrant racist — congressman Steve King (R-IA) said that offering free birth control to women could kill off the entire human race (READ:The white race in America).
“We have people that are single, we have people that are past reproductive age, we have priests that are celibate. All of them, paying insurance premiums that cover contraceptives so that somebody else doesn’t have to pay the full fare of that? And they’ve called it preventative medicine. Preventative medicine. Well if you applied that preventative medicine universally what you end up with is you’ve prevented a generation. Preventing babies from being born is not medicine. That’s not–that’s not constructive to our culture and our civilization. If we let our birth rate get down below replacement rate we’re a dying civilization,” said King.
Essentially, King was enunciating the worst Tea-Party/Republican fear: The inevitable fact that in a few years — the total minority population will outnumber whites — which will translate into political power. That whites are giving birth at much lower rates than Latinos and blacks really frightens King and his ilk.
That’s why they oppose the DREAM Act and any other form of immigration. And, it’s why they say that the children born of “undocumented” persons should no longer be given American citizenship.
“After all is said and done, what much of the so-called Tea Party wants is a return to America as a White Man’s Country. There are a few obstacles in their way, including the U.S. Constitution, but that’s not insurmountable.” “Under the guise of concern for integrity of our borders, and stemming illegal activities, the presence of 20 million “undocumented” immigrants is now being called a threat and a danger to the nation.”
“‘We want our country back‘ is not just an anti-Obama call to action. It is a call to revive an idea which ought to have been firmly discredited by now, that America should belong only to white people and that they alone should have a voice in how it is run. It would be a terrible mistake to see these citizenship proposals only as anti-Latino based bigotry. They are surely that but they are also a means of keeping the non-white population under control and depriving them of any rights which a white person need respect.”
There is no doubt that Barack Obama’s election in 2008 — has unscrewed some white brains, totally. White America has lost its mind — The ‘white American brain’ finally — has gone haywire in spectacular fashion, says Steven Thrasher

Doug Lamborn, Republican Colorado Congressman, Refers To Obama Dealings As Being Stuck To A ‘Tar Baby,’ a racial epithet:
Doug Lamborn, was recently on the 630 KHOW Capils and Silverman radio show discussing President Obama, the President’s economic policies, and the debt ceiling deals being debated. Lamborn describe working with the President:
Even if some people say, ‘Well the Republicans should have done this or they should have done that,’ they will hold the President responsible. Now, I don’t even want to have to be associated with him. It’s like touching a tar baby and you get it, you’re stuck, and you’re a part of the problem now and you can’t get away. I don’t want that to happen to us, but if it does or not, he’ll still get, properly so, the blame because his policies for four years will have failed the American people.
In 2010, the National Journal ranked Doug Lamborn the “most conservative” a.k.A [ THE MOST RACIST ] member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Lamborn has voted to the right of 96 percent of his colleagues on economic issues, 93 percent on social issues, and 76 percent on foreign policy issues, according to The Huffington Post.
I’ve been called a lot of things over the years while serving in public office, but to be called the most conservative member of Congress is a distinct honor.

Hate-Talker, Republican Rush Limbaugh Calls Gender Reassignment Surgery An ‘Add-A-Dick-To-Me’
The 2012 Republican field for the presidency of the United States is lousy and decrepit. One of the hopefuls is Mike ‘FAT Jokeabee‘ Huckabee, the former 500 pound gorilla and Arkansas governor — who did better than expected in the 2008 Republican primaries — while dreaming of shooting Obama.
Appearing as a guest commentator on New York radio station WOR on Monday, Gov. Mike Huckabee suggested that President Barack Obama’s childhood in Kenya shaped his worldview — even though Obama did not visit Kenya until he was in his 20s. Huckabee added that Obama’s youth led him to resent the West, which he said explains why, in Huckabee’s view, Obama’s foreign policy differs so greatly from that of his predecessors. [ READ: The Real 'Un-Americans' and Dinesh D'Souza's 'Summa Idiotica' ]
“One thing that I do know is his having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits, for example, (is) very different than the average American,” Huckabee said, pointing to Obama’s decision in 2009 to remove a bust of former Prime Minister Winston Churchill from the Oval Office.
He failed to note that Obama replaced the Oval Office fixture with a bust of one of his American heroes, President Abraham Lincoln, and moved the Churchill bust to the White House residence.
“The bust of Winston Churchill, a great insult to the British,” Huckabee said. “But then if you think about it, his perspective as growing up in Kenya with a Kenyan father and grandfather . he probably grew up hearing that the British were a bunch of imperialists who persecuted his grandfather.”
Obama’s grandfather, Hussein Onyango Obama, was detained in a 1952 uprising against British colonial rule in Kenya. Huckabee said childhood stories of the Mau Mau rebellion would lead President Obama to want to remove from the Oval Office the bust of Churchill, who ordered a crackdown against that uprising.

Ed Schultz: Huckabee “Put His Foot In His Mouth” With False Claim That Obama Grew Up In Kenya
About The Birthers: Republican/Tea-Party racist-psychos — who cannot fathom the fact that Barack Obama, the son of a black Kenyan man and a white American woman was democratically elected president. They are deluded and drunk with conspiracy theories — including nonsense like — Obama will mistreat whites in retaliation to 400 years of black slavery in America.
Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961. Hawaii was and is still an American state. When Barack Obama was elected, he was 47 years old and had lived in the US since 1971. According to the Constitution, the president must be a natural-born citizen 35 years old or order who has lived in the US for 14 years. Barack Obama is eligible to be the president. It’s that simple.
•Fanning Fears of Muslims Has Never Made Better — Or More Cynical — Political Sense. — Until the advent of the Obama presidency, Republicans had no reason to scapegoat Muslimsor demonize Islam — and indeed, they could not have inflamed those prejudices without damaging their own leaders, especially George W. Bush. The political and cultural messaging that Republicans and conservatives accepted quietly from Bush is today considered tantamount to treason when promoted by Obama.

By: Jack Blackshear Democrats face a tough election in 2012. Voters’ focus will probably still be on jobs and the Affordable Health Care Act.
But their decisions on these and others will be influenced by how people see the President from a morality and character perspective.
Obama has been down in the polls for ages now and the new Congressional line up is unlikely to help change the public’s perception. Most of the their angst is based on genuine disagreement with his policies. But not all; a good percentage of the negativity has been artificially generated by the Tea Party and Fox News. Racism is behind much of this and getting it on the table now will refocus the public’s view of the President.
Tea Baggers have been attacking the President like packs of geriatric Hells Angels almost from the day he was sworn in. What they did triggered a virtual racist uprising that targets the man more than his policies. Gang members are white, middle to upper class and all of them are Conservatives.
Fox — The Most Biased Name in News
Republican | Tea-Party Racism
It is disingenuous to say that race plays no part in this. Conservatives disagree, “This is what Liberals always do; use racism as an excuse for failed policies.” They should look at the evidence: an African American President is elected; an organization dedicated to his downfall is formed; millions of members are almost exclusively white; false rumors based on racial stereotyping are spread; millions more choose to accept the rumors as true; virtually all are white. “If it looks like a duck ? well you get the idea.”
“Change we can believe in.” was not what people satisfied with the status quo wanted to hear. Their first reaction was fear, a paralyzing dread that their perfect, privileged little worlds were under threat.
But now they had a problem — how to vent their hatred at Obama without showing their true racist colors. But they needn’t have worried, right wing pros were waiting in the wings. Operatives from Freedom Works and Americans for Prosperity gave them the answer and it was simple: start rumors and use these as surrogates — they could beat on them all day and no one would be the wiser.
This explains why Tea Party types ignore facts and reason when confronted with the silliness of their accusations. Reason — they don’t need no reason! They are on a mission to get the man no matter what it takes and if bearing false witness is what it takes (something that should bother Tea Party types — but doesn’t), so be it. Armed with plausible denial they are all but bullet proof from charges of racism.
Tea-Party Morons & Dummies
The Tea Party and Conservative media have been dating from day one. Rumor mongering has been one of their favorite pastimes with Rush Limbaugh coming along as their creativity coach. Rumors that President Obama is a Moslem masquerading as a Christian who was born in Kenya and is living in the United States as an illegal alien is their best work so far with “death panels” coming in a close second.
As promised by Freedom Works, the rumors they spread as proxies for their fear and distrust of black people are working like a dream. They can shout, beat their chests or scream epithets if they want to — and they do. Incredibly millions believe them, no questions asked. Things like where they came from, some evidence or why they were not discovered during the campaign; are just not important to them.
Ignoring the damage rumors have done now that they are mostly out of the news would be a mistake — the connection between how people view the President and how they view his policies is too strong. Unless the link between racism and rumors is established people will continue to view the President through a lens crafted by his enemies.
By attacking the rumors as nothing more than proxies for racism and charging Tea Baggers with fomenting a racist uprising against the President, they will be the ones with a character issue — not the President. Some voters might see it this way: “I’m not a fan of how Obama has managed the economy, but I don’t want to vote for a Tea Party candidate (Sarah Palin for example) if she’s holding hands with racists.”
Many unethical people have done tremendous damage to a President who has more intelligence, competence and plain honesty than America has seen in a President for decades. The country voted this man into office to bring about change, a task he is faithfully carrying out, and should not have their decision vetoed by the bigotry of people who will always yearn for the past at the expense of the future.
