A group of black newspaper publishers on Friday charged Republican Rep. Joe Wilson with racism for yelling, "You lie," at President Obama during his nationally televised address to a joint session of Congress.
The National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) has canceled a planned January conference in South Carolina, where Wilson is a representative, and joined an economic boycott of the Palmetto State started 10 years ago by the state NAACP in protest of the confederate flag waving from the Statehouse grounds.
Wilson shouted his accusation Wednesday night in response to Obama saying that his health care reform plan would not cover illegal immigrants. Wilson, who drew sharp criticism from both sides of the political fence for the breach in decorum, immediately apologized to Obama and the president accepted. But House Democrats are pressing Wilson to apologize on the House floor or face disciplinary action.
The latest fallout from Wilson's outburst, however, is the first time race has been injected into the controversy.
"As African-American newspaper publishers we stand in solidarity with the NAACP and fully support the economic boycott of South Carolina," NNPA Chairman Danny J. Bakewell Sr. said. "Rep. Wilson's remarks were racist, disrespectful, and a disingenuous violation -- not only of President Obama -- but to the institution of the presidency and only solidified our position and the importance in not spending black dollars where black people are not respected.

Yep. And fertilized. As for these idiots, let them scream racism more and more and more. It’s a dead accusation and we know it. I am amazed that these racists are so slow.
Holy crap! The guy is more white than he is black! Enough with this nonsense!
Winter's coming. The fireplace needs kindling.
WOLF WOLF WOFL
Golly, theres a shocker...
So fewer welfare recipients will be moving to South Carolina? That's good news for the state.
So disagreeing with OLoser is racism.
Congratulations to the NAACP for turning “racism” into an irrelevant and meaningless word.
You didn’t know that? How silly you are.
Because everyone knows Blacks lie?
Gee, never thought of that, but thanks, Black Publishers for bringing a new racist concept to the country.
Who gives a shiite? You could call a boycott, or go out of business, and no one would notice.
You two faced, racist, ingrates!
What, exactly, do these people want? To control every aspect of your life? Obama is not the first President to be called a liar. I thing the first one was Washington. I don’t think we should kowtow to black totalitarians.
These blacks are racist and for liars.
Naively, I thought that Obama’s election may help race relations and put Jesse and Al out of business.
I can only speak for myself when I say that my feelings toward blacks have never been lower than they are right now (ACORN, Affirmative Action, this nonsense etc).
And I am sure I am not the only one.
Talk about an epithet that LONG ago lost its sting! One trick pony idiots.
If Obozo were any kind of leader (or even a man) he would announce that Wilson had apologized and ask that people stop screaming racism at everyone who disagrees.
These silly little children don't realize just how absurd they sound.
"Black dollars" are usually pitiful attempts by gubmint-school dropouts attempting to buys goods & services with photocopies of actual currency. So when these allegedly reputable "Black Publishers" threaten with no more "black dollars", most businesses will say, "Fine. WE DON'T ACCEPT COUNTERFEIT MONEY."
These TAR BABY racists are just a-flailing away in the TAR PITS (yes, I deliberately chose those RACIST phrases.)
;^)
Yep, apparently all disagreements or issues with Obama are due to racism. There’s no reason to oppose our dear leader unless one is racist, apparently.
Now we’re back to boycotting states? Geez louise..............
You are EXACTLY CORRECT!
I’m going to Myrtle Beach next week. Sometimes life is grand.
LOL! Yes, logic has not place when it comes to these people.
Would love someone at CNN or MSDNC to ask them your simple question.
But alas, that is merely a dream.
No, you're not; not by a long shot.
I will just have to cancel my subscription to the Pee Dee Times! Bahahahahahahah!
Oh, and she is of African decent, and I'm a honky.
That must really frost your collective asses.
5.56mm
Besides skin color, what do they all have in common?
Wonder how these black organizations would feel if people openly started to say they were going to avoid black businesses?
I for one, have already started, and I never felt this way before.
LOL, calling a liar a “liar” is now “racist”....
Where do these simpletons come from?
We will have plenty of illegals to make up for any shortfalls.
so get even give money to keep Joe there.

Yep. Obama has set race relations back decades. If we have black boycotts of South Carolina over bogus charges of racism, then we will have white efforts to increase tourism and spending in South Carolina. Obama is the great divider, not the great uniter.
It is sad really. They have nothing to offer but race pimping.
fried chicken bump
Sweet! That means there will be less freaks there when I visit my son at Fort Jackson!
No, sir, you are not the only one. I hate what this bunch has created in our country by their ugly racist tactics.
They will eventually make this term meaningless by trivializing it to the nth degree.
I plan on going to SC on October 6th and I will make sure that everyone knows I’m there to support America’s Greatest Living Statesman, Joe Wilson!
The boy who cried racist...whoops I probably shouldn’t of said boy
The kicker was that the day after his “outburst”, a change was made excluding illegals!
So it was a LIE!!!!!!!!!!
Not only are these blacks racists, but they are incredibly STUPID!
"A mind is a terrible thing to waste."
And now you know why.
Exactly! After years of playing the race card by the deck it somehow doesn’t have the shock value it used to. Much like hearing the F-bomb dropped 50 times a day; after a while its just another word.
It has been since his campaign.

**These blacks are racist and for liars.**
Sound like WHINERS too!
What are the backgrounds of these Black Panther leaders. How are they connected to Obama or any of his minions?
