RUPERT, Idaho — An alleged racial slur against Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has sparked criticism against a southern Idaho radio station, with some in the community calling for the show to be canceled.
Obama supporters allege a conservative talk show host on Rupert, Idaho-based KBAR AM this week referred to the Illinois senator as the "black Negroid Barack Hussein Obama."

“black Negroid Barack Hussein Obama.”
Which part of this is wrong? Well, maybe the black part . . . “Blacks” are no more black than “Whites” are white . . . I thought we were all Americans . . .
Not too long ago, for racial classifications, some of us were Negroes and some of us were Caucasian . . . at least that was what we were taught.

“Negroid” is in Merriam-Webster’s. It doesn’t identify it as a slur, though. There’s only one solution.........BURN THE DICTIONARIES. NECKLACE WHITEY!

Obama supporters allege a conservative talk show host on Rupert, Idaho-based KBAR AM this week referred to the Illinois senator as the "black Negroid Barack Hussein Obama."So what. There isn't a slur here, and what he said was basically correct.

To: kingattax
maybe he should have called him the "white caucasoid barack hussein obama" Well he could have because he's as much white caucasoid as black negroid.

Correct. However, I'm not about to have the Obama Cult start pushing people around in this state, and if they do it'll be over my dead scrawny corpse.

Free Republic is in danger of being cast as a racist forum this year. Word to the wise.
To: GOP_Raider
If he really said it, it’s a damn stupid thing to say, and he deserves to get his knuckles rapped. There are plenty of legitimate issues for conservatives to raise concerning Barack Obama. His ethnicity is not one of them. The words in question are a cheap shot, whether or not they happen to be accurate.

Liberals have already raised the issue of Obama’s “ethnicity”, calling his nomination as the “first black nominee” an historic occasion.

How would niggardly fit in a sentence for this topic?If the talk show hosts backs away from his commitment to speak the truth he would be a reneger .
