Derbyshire doesn't do the really obvious racist stuff -- the stuff that goes up at FreeRepublic.com, for example -- like post photos Obama in stereotypical tribal garb with a bone through his nose.

In July 2007, after The New Republic published an article by an American soldier in Iraq titled “Shock Troops,” allegations of inadequate fact-checking were leveled against the magazine. Critics alleged that the piece contained inconsistent details indicative of fabrication. The identity of the anonymous soldier, Scott Thomas Beauchamp, was revealed. Beauchamp was married to Elspeth Reeve, one of the magazine’s three fact-checkers. As a result of the controversy, the New Republic and the United States Army launched investigations, reaching different conclusions.[42][43][44]

I’m not surprised.

They are lying as usual. The writer is probably referring to that Muslim garb photo and added the “bone” bit much like NBC edited the Zimmerman 911 call to garner more outrage. They lie like you and I breathe. They don’t think twice about it. How many times have we seen lib politicians lie through their teeth on national television? Infinite times. They just don’t care. They could be caught on 2048 HD 3D Max video stealing a diamond from a jewelery store in close up and they would still deny it. “Lie and deny” is the lib mantra.

Why should Derbyshire be fired?

I got curious. I followed the link in the Atlantic article & entered the photo URL into Tin Eye. I got back 156 results — one of which was from FR. Another one was from DU. (No mention of that in the Atlantic.)

Tell it to the New Yorker:

How about Obozo picking his nose?

Racist?

[DJ MacWoW]

Actually I’m surprised. But I’m still shaking my head at the lefty melodrama. Where was she when the left made effigies of Bush and Cheney and then hacked them to pieces?

[DJ MacWoW]

The disgraced lib author claims that he’s racist.

[freeangel]

Hey, where’s the bone in his nose? Surely the author wouldn’t race bait, would he? The liberal left who read that tripe wouldn’t have the guts to come here and see that the statement was a falsehood.

I found a lot of this images...the overwhelming number were from lefty sites selling racial outrage.

[Responsibility2nd]

I remember that.

 

 

Seems TOTUS was playing a cruel joke that day.

"And furthermore, we must...."
