Is is a hate crime to hate MSM?

[allmost]

Elimination cage match. Done. :)

he should have prefaced it with “he ain’t heavy”.

[xenob]

Maybe he was sleepy for the debate...

[Terry Mross]

My wife and I noticed it. I believe he was referring to Cain as a “soul brother”. That was the term in the sixties.

[Raycpa]

Fellow Christians call each other brother, sister etc.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

If it is, a lot of us FReepers will do hard time.

[nickcarraway]

It’s better than calling everyone, “friends.”

[Jewbacca]

Are they not both fundamentalist Christians?

In Israel, that is the normal form of address among them.

[Kartographer]

As for me I thought it odd, but I ignored it. Besides he’s been called far worse and by some on this very thread.

[tflabo]

Tempest in a teapot.

[tirednvirginia]

I think I read last night here on FR someone ask that same question almost in the same identical way. hmmmm

[DannyTN]

It’s a Christian thing.

Perry was just acknowledging their bond as brothers in Christ.

As opposed to Romney that’s a non-Christian.

[Rudder]

Maybe Perry is part negro, Bro.

[mnehring]

Its a Texas thing.

[Mr. Mojo]

To libs, everything is racial. Everything.

[alicewonders]

I think it was Perry’s way of saying to Cain - even though I’m criticizing your plan - I still think of you as a friend. I noticed he did not use the term when he criticized Romney. He was out for blood with Mitt.

[org.whodat]

Because he could not remember his name. To many letters.

[eater-of-toast]

I suppose it’s possible that Perry feels self conscious over “N****rhead” and that that self-consciousness impelled him to be extra affectionate toward the sole black candidate. I doubt was just a coincidence that Perry called Cain and none of the other candidates “brother.”
