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."

All non-moonbat white people Free Republic is are in danger of being cast as a racists forum this year. Word to the wise.

As far as I'm concerned, who the $#@$@ cares? I'm not about to simply hand what's left of America over to the Obama Cult and it's race baiters, are you?

[Disambiguator]

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.

No disagreement here.

How does the saying go, "don't mess with Idaho!"

...or maybe that was Texas.

I care. The racists can take a flying leap a a rolling donut. Don’t bring it to FR.

Totally agree--like I'm going to disagree with the founder of this site. :) As for me, I'm much more concerned about the Obama campaign and cult going after FR...OTOH, "loose lips sink ships" is on the comment page for a reason...

[Drango]

Thanks Jim. Good call on your part and 99% of conservatives support you. The other 1% need to climb under a rock and take their filth with them.

That reminds me, whatever happened to all the Huckabee "supporters" that were trolling here during the primaries and the Hawkeye Cauci? That was an interesting bunch...

Before I forget...In the interests of full disclosure and information, the radio host in question is one Zeb Bell, who is an old rodeo announcer and ranch hand. I know, it's Idaho and we have a "reputation" for Neo-Nazis and your Aryan types, but this is a guy I wouldn't classify as such.

Everything you ever cared to know about Zeb Bell but were afraid to ask.

Exactly right. The 90% of black Dem voters who voted Obama are racists if they let his skin color determine their votes. The 20% of Hillary voters who voted for her because Obama is black are equally racist. I'm proud to be on FR, where I hope candidates will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I expect to see Obama defeated based on his lack of qualifications, his extreme big-government liberalism, and the shocking people he allows as role models in his children's lives - a few of the valid reasons to reject Obama.

Fair enough, but that’s why I used the phrase “damned stupid” rather than some harsher things. I don’t care how Obama portrays himself or the libs portray him. We need to beat the sucker, and we aren’t going to do it by casting racial aspersions, however “nuanced” they may be.

However, given that this gem, “black Negroid”, was posted without a Redundancy Alert, would someone please call the Grammar Cops.

Thanks Jim. There are a few who think they’re being cute and/or only amongst like-minded people.

[CharlesWayneCT]

I thought I read in another story posted here that the host didn’t say this, it was one of his guests.

[GOP_Raider]

Yeah, you’re right, I think the guest was the one that started the whole thing and not Zeb, I’ll know a little more in a few hours though and I’ll post that...

I went to a public school, I'm lucky I can spell grammar without an e. :)

On this you're aboslutely right. However, the last thing I wanted anyone to think while reading this thread was that this was some kind of white supremacist/Stormfront kind of infiltration, and that's how I took a few of the comments.
