Rev. Sharpton Responds to Rick Perry ‘Niggerhead’ Story[Calls on Perry to withdrawl from race]
Eurweb ^ | October 2, 2011 | Al Sharpton

Posted on 10/02/2011 1:19:35 PM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

“The Washington Post story revealing that Texas Governor Rick Perry hunted and hosted lawmakers at a hunting camp called Niggerhead is alarming and displays a new height in racial insensitivity in national politics. Mr. Perry should immediately fully explain how he could have gone to a ranch and hunted that is named after such an obvious racist term or he should withdrawl from the race. He is either blindly insensitive or hopelessly unaware of where he spends his time. Either way it makes one wonder if he is ready for prime time and certainly whether he is ready for the White House. – Reverend Al Sharpton, President National Action Network”

To my knowledge, that name is not used now, but it certainly was in the 60’s and 70’s.

It doesn't mean a thing to me.

If it doesn't mean a thing that's not an issue to you then why even remark on it?

Cain lies. Cain plays the false black victim. The original WaPo article told every one that Perry’s dad joined a lease and painted over the word when the younger Perry told him about it, back in 1983 or 1984. The Perry’s never owned the land.
Read the articles. Watch the video. Do what Cain did not.
Cain wasted a chance to do the right thing and show that he before commenting - at least before judging.

The Governor of the State of Texas cannot get his landlord to either get rid of a rock (I know, I know, rocks are hard to get rid of in Texas) or have it repainted every year so the offensive word doesn’t show through?

Finding this hard to beliiiiiiiiiiieve...

Commies like to break the rules don't they? And can't stick to their word either! lol

Well, that's a moot point now that you've called me that here. Come on, TigersEye, back up your claim. I'm beginning to think that you don't tell the truth. Prove me wrong and back up your claim that I'm a communist.

Not mention that purple cone flower (Echinacea purpurea) and
Black eyed susan (Rudbeckia hirta) are two different plants.

That’s good to hear. I’ve never heard of that flower being called anything but BES’s - although almost all flowers have alternative names. I have them growing in my garden.

If I'm not supposed to ask you about you libeling me on FreeRepublic other than the thread where you libeled me, then consider me guilty. I have the nuts to admit my mistakes.

However, you've called me a communist on this thread, so we're fair game.

So, either grow some nuts and back up your accusation or retract it.

I didn’t.

That nasty commie c&$t, Amanpour, got Cain in a gotcha question. Two actually including the “Gay Soldier” question. Cain needs to sharpen up but at least he hasn’t suggested sending the military to Mexico.

If the gay soldier question was a gotcha, what was the other one that you refer to?

Are all presidential candidates responsible for the place names of every place they've ever set foot? LOL

Looks like a remark to me.

The Perry/ranch question, obviously. And my point was that he didn't handle the gotcha aspect of it well. I made no issue about the ranch name or Cain's handling of that.

Looks like a remark to me.

That was in the context of replying, and agreeing with, a post to me by you.

Maybe Sharpton should take this up with Perry’s landlord.

We may as well just drop it. Between me and GOPyouth, it just looks like you are spoiling for a fight with someone for the sake of arguing. Count me out.
