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.
typical union rabblerouser
I recall footage during the primaries, reporter out in West Virginia doing the "man on the street" thing, asking folks why they were voting this way and that. A specific recollection, a middle-aged white woman voting for Hillary, "I cain't trust no black man" and another who was adamant, "I ain't voting for that Hussein." At the time, I was ticked off, CNN doing its best to find the typical *ignert* red-neck rural type to display the supposed inherent racism in WV -- now we've got the president of the AFL-CIO to do it for them.
57% McCain - 43% Obama this past weekend. This from our state Republican committee.
Didn't Biden also make an anti-coal comment? Murtha helps him lose PA and Biden helps him lose WV. LOL. With a team like that......
This country gets more and more bizarre by the day. None of these Obama boosters seem to have any sense of responsibility or care about what they say. We are really heading for a 1984 kind of World when politicos can say anything and get away with it.
We live in a society where nothing matters except winning.
“We live in a society where nothing matters except winning.”
THAT quote is what the Obama bumper stickers should REALLY say!
Here’s a brand new Obama tactic. Obama’s now referring to “the last 8 years of Bush-McCain economics...”
I wonder how this strategy of calling voters racists will work out for 0bama. It can’t work in his favor.
Does anyone know what this is?

Probably for flooding that occurred in WV in the year (2001) in question. Perdue probably a property owner.
Rahall is the Congressman and his name is attached as he submitted the request (or simply because it’s in his district?)
Is Perdue white or black?
Lets see, white people screwed up the economy, hmmm...I I guess Raines has changed color then.
Looking forward to the video link, Bio, so that I can send it to my local radio talk show host (who hosts an evening show on 630 WMAL).....
He’s gonna love this! Great catch!
Do you recall the exact time that this guy was on CNN? (3:50 or 3:55 pm ET)? Any idea?
Is that a hairpiece?!?
So the complete opposite of Upper Westside Manhattanites?/Just Asking - seoul62.......
