TOPEKA, Kan. – A video featuring a Kansas legislator criticizing President Barack Obama's policies while wearing a hat describing opossum as "the other dark meat" was removed Thursday from YouTube, where the lawmaker had posted it last month.
Republican Rep. Bill Otto said he didn't remove the video, titled "RedNeck Rap," and didn't know why it had been taken down. Google Inc., YouTube's owner, could offer no explanation.
Otto said criticism of the video was unfounded. He said the hat's saying, which he repeats at the end of the short video, refers to redneck stereotypes, not Obama.
The White House declined to comment Thursday, but Kansas Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, called the video "disturbing." He said it's logical to see the reference as being to the first black president's race.
In the video, Otto pauses after criticizing Obama and his policies, repeats the saying on the cap and adds, "A little greasy, but hey."

I find Communists “disturbing”.
No, you’re not the only one tired of it. I hope rush sues, wins a lot of dough, and scares all the race baiters back into the ratholes they came from. Maybe a lawsuit will finally stop jackson and sharpton. They will no longer have the platform race money machine they’ve abused...if he sues the pants off of all of them! (Did that sound too bitter?)
!!!
LoL!!!!
But I’ve heard rednecks have a new spokesman for the association of cornfield rednecks aka ACORN inc.
Here’s what they have to say..
” On behalf of rednecks everywhere. We are not dumb, we can read, we do own hi-tech equipment, and we like to reduce, reuse and recycle. To insist otherwise is elitist! That’s so sterotyping rednecks it not even funny. Rednecks should band together and stand up against slanderous opossum meat jokes, neck jokes (hey we WORK hard in the sunshine to get red necks), our clothes (would you wear a suit to the field with a granny sun blocker hat on?) We are sick to death of the roadkill jokes..do you realize how many families can be fed with a roadside deer or oppussum? And the lame redneck wedding show is making us the butt of jokes (we like low budget recycled weddings), we can’t afford champagne on a beer budget, our language is an honor passed down from our elders and we demand a constitutional amendment that would treat us as equals!”
