Republican lawmakers: LePage said Obama 'hates white people'
Portland Press Herald ^ | 8/20/13 | Eric Russell

Posted on 08/20/2013 8:36:47 AM PDT by Nachum

Gov. Paul LePage told a group of Republicans last week that President Obama "hates white people," according to two state lawmakers who say they heard the remark directly.

The governor made the comment during a Maine Republican Party fundraiser on Aug. 12 at the home of John and Linda Fortier in Belgrade. According to the invitation, the fundraiser was a "meet and greet" for LePage and first lady Ann LePage, and an opportunity to meet Rick Bennett, the new party chairman.

The lawmakers, both Republicans, confirmed the comment when asked by a Portland Press Herald reporter but asked that their names be withheld for fear of political retribution.

Each said LePage talked about how Obama could have been the best president ever if he had highlighted his biracial heritage. LePage said the president hasn't done that because he hates white people.

I realize Obama did not write them. However, Bill Ayers knows him well and they doubtless talked about the book hours on end.

It is a matter of record that John Marshall Davis hung out with Stanley Anne Durnham's father, and may have become intimate with her, per references in one of Davis's writings, where he mentions the sexual interaction of him, his wife and a teenage girl named Anne.

Someone said Obama hates white people. Why is this news? I thought that was common knowledge?

The article is worthless without the names of the purported Republican legislators.

This moonbat reporter used to work for the Bangor Daily News and moved on to the other cesspool known as the Portland Press Herald.

When at the BDN, Russell wrote a piece about a local Tea Party event and repeatedly referred to the participants as "teabaggers."

When I contacted him about it, he batted his eyelashes and pretended that he was unaware that "teabagger" was a pejorative term.

The BDN actually posted a sort of apology subsequently because of all the complaints they received.

...however, the MSM will no doubt find a way to turn this into a story that will use up air time for at least a week, minimizing any of the real/bad news swirling around, which is related to 0bama. We will hear from Sharpton, NAACP, the Black Muslim Brotherhood, Oprah, etc., etc. who will comment on what a racist LePage is.

Which is the entire point of this article.

The Portland Press-Herald would like nothing better than to start a "Lynch LePage" movement. And they wouldn't be above making something up to accomplish it.

If LePage made the alleged statement, however, he deserves credit for "telling truth to power" -- and I thought that was what liberals always wanted to hear...

It’s something worth hoping for, that his white and black halves will try to annihilate one another, all to our benefit.
