A news anchor on CNN just interviewed Kenneth M. Perdue, President of the West Virginia chapter of the powerful union, the AFL-CIO. (The AFL BTW is related to SEIU local 100 which is an ACORN subsidiary. ACORN and SEIU local 100 were both founded by Wade Rathke.)
Perdue was being interviewed because he has been giving speeches around WV telling WV voters to vote for Obama BECAUSE he's black, NOT WHITE like Bush and the rest of the politicians in Washington that have screwed up America's economy etc. so badly of late.
Perdue further stated that WV voters are well aware that they themselves are INBRED RACISTS, but they must go against their heritage and vote for Obama.
When interviewed by the incredulous CNN anchor who quoted Perdue's own words back to him, Perdue openly admitted that he had said all of these things and he agreed that his comments were indeed RACIST, but if that is what it takes to help Obama win the Presidency, so be it.
Interesting that these "gaffs" are coming out of the states Hillary won big in.
Wow, are these libs doing this on purpose or just plain stuck on stupid, or both? We have had major gaffes by Murtha, Biden and now this idiot. LOL
This can’t be real . . .
YouTube or it didn’t happen.
“Tell me you got this on tape.”
I did not get it on tape, but someone will be able to when it is reported again by the same anchor who is still on CNN right now until 5 p.m.
We should also watch for newspaper reports with the exact quotes that the CNN anchor put up on the screen coming out of newspapers in (probably) Western WV.
This appears to be akin to a political Chernobyl.
It will burn for years,(Chernobyl is still on fire).
Wake up, America, the dims will put fools like this in positions of power.
If bambi is elected, this whitey clown will resign and turn over HIS job to a black person then, right?
Playing the race card, these days,
is just a sop to the past success of
using the issue to silence criticism.
If it works, they keep using it.
West Virginia is still home to the Jacksonian Democrats, those descendants of Scots-Irish immigrants who vote God, country, and guns, and have a stronger than average distrust of government. They are white, lower middle-class union members who work hard, play by the rules, have faith in God and a hefty dose of patriotism.
yeah,me too. WV is pretty strong union,but they are pro-coal more than anything,they don’t care what perdue says. They live or die by coal,and they know who supports coal and who doesnt,I have great admiration for WV’s people,they ain’t dumb,they will vote Mccain I think.
More evidence that rank-and-file Union members need to get rid of their corrupt Officials who continually sell them out by squandering untold amounts of the members own money supporting DNC candidates. The Union bosses spend more time worrying about their political cronies than they do about the interests of their own members.
did sheets byrd have any comment on this ?
“I did not get it on tape, but someone will be able to when it is reported again”
Unless the tape is not accidently erased before it’s next rotation.
Sorry, but ole Kenny looks akin to “the man” who has been keeping blacks down for so long.
Everytime Obama or the governor uses the words ‘clean coal technology’ people around here beam like 4-year-olds hearing about Santa Claus and Christmas.
Absolute suckers. Even if Obama wanted CCT (which he doesn’t) the cost and the wait for proper R&D would take decades.
Does anyone have the animation of the “That’s Racist!” kid?
“I hope someone got video of this.”
I checked, it’s not on YouTube yet, but I did find this video of Richard L. Trunk, national Sec-Treasurer of the AFL-CIO basically telling his fellow union members that they are racist unless they DO viote for Obama. Go to this link:

LOL!
I think it’s interesting that the Obama camp apppears to be desperate to get WV’s FIVE electoral votes. I think the McCain-Palin ticket is doing much better in Pennsylvania than the pollsters are letting on about.
