Disclaimer: I'm not a Perry supporter.
I agree. Why in the world is one of our guys, a Conservative guy, playing with racial politics here? There is no evidence that Perry is a racist except for a stupid rock that was painted over 25 years ago. This is silly.
Curious why this comes out now, when Perry has been in at least 3 contested Governor’s elections, the last one hotly contested.
Despicable.
No, he is NOT a racist, and neither are we. e know this. The left is going to say it anyway, but only the stupid will listen. We would do well not to give them oxygen for this silly fire, and totally ignore it.
No, but rather than take his money elsewhere, he and his family renewed the lease for decades. The name may or may not was racist at the time but he knew it wasn't right and talked to his father about it. Hence, the painting over it and people have told him it was going to come back on his political career. However, if one continues to give money and patronize it, then one is condoning it.
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.

Agreed. The DNC obviously has hired some opposition researchers down in Texas to do a virtual colonoscopy on Perry and then send any crap they find back to WaPo for immediate publication.
I heard Perry got gas one time in Dead Negro Draw, Texas...he should have just kept driving...
It’s a sign of complete and utter desperation. You would think if they really believed poll numbers that show Perry dropping, that they would just move on to the next target - mission accomplished.
But no - they go to these lengths to try to destroy his campaign - I think they fear him much. For someone whose poll numbers are “sinking” - he sure lives rent-free in their heads.
Even FOX is manipulating their poll numbers to prop up their candidate Romney.
The word is offensive, terrible, and has no place there or anywhere.
Google search: niggerhead flower -perry
Next thing you know, "niggardly" will be deemed offensive.
Idiots.
Condoning what? A flower? A rock outcrop? What? You think they were calling this a N. head as in, a racist term for black man ('s) head??
Get over it. There is ABSOLUTELY NO history that Rick Perry is a racist. Do you believe that he is?
Do you know all the appointments he's made, many high level positions were given to (and I hate to make a distinction because to me they are Texans) blacks?
Do you have a source for that? I have heard exactly the opposite.
The most dispicable part is Cain tried to use it to his advantage. What an admirable man.
