It stands for NEGRO. You consider that racist? Tell the LA Times who tagged obama as teh Magic Negro.

Sorry folks; but the name “Negro” simply is not used. Hell, why don’t you guys say “colored.” Seriously, just because the LA Times or Rush uses the phrase, do you want folks who are not in tune with the LA Times having used it to think you are a bunch of racists?

I am a longtime member of this forum, and deeply conservative, but don’t believe in shooting myself in the foot. You guys are fooling yourselves if you think that using this type of language is acceptable with swing voters. Win the campaign on ideas, not by being stupid or trying to be “cute.”
