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”

the media delibertly asked Cain because of his race....they place the race card on him and not the other candidates.

Yes they did, and he sadly walked right into their snare. The leftmedia is despicable.

The way (a FEW) folks are talking about Cain here all of a sudden (the whole race-baiting schtick) reminds me that it IS football season... It REALLY sounds like someone - not sure who - is laying down some new astroturf.

Good point.

Kind of makes you wonder who's team they're on.

What a load of BS! The ranch was probably named after a FLOWER!

Black Sampson, Coneflower, Kansas Niggerhead, Kansas Snake Root, Narrow Leaf Echinacea, Narrow-leaved Purple Coneflower, Purple Coneflower, Rudbeckia, Sampson Root, Wild Niggerhead

Are you going to pulp all your books with the common name of Echinacea?

Cain lies. Cain plays the false black victim.

To characterize Cain's straightforward and reasonable answer to Amanpour's gotcha question like that make you sound like some DNC hack.

I’m thinking of changing my cat’s name to Niggerhead in honor of this tempest in a tea pot!;-)

*************************************************************

You can go ahead. I secretly renamed my neighbor’s cat Obama and he doesn’t seem to mind at all.[the cat that is]

You are dense as a post. The ones you just named can NOT beat Obama. Perry is a staunch conservative. Apparently, I just confuse you with the truth.

Perry did not do anything. This is just another smear by someone. Bachmann I think, or at least it was done on another thread by a Bachmann supporter. Could be Romney, both Bachmann and Cain are carrying the water for Romney.

To cut the rest, with the explanation makes you seem worse than DNC. It makes you seem dishonest.

Did Cain read the story? If so, he ignored the facts. If not, he shouldn’t have commented on Perry, only on the word.

If Perry is a stanch conservative in your eyes then you are NOT a conservative and really should leave this site. You RINOs really are stupid. We had your star candidate last election with your love of McCain......not again. You screwed us last time and are NOT doing it again. You gave us Obama personally you dip.

True and I have said that myself but it was a mistake in handling Amanpour not a lie. Calling him a liar and saying that he is playing the false black victim is a lie.

Thank you so much. You two are consummate professionals fighting for our country to rid ourselves of that faux conservative Perry. I can't believe the delusional thinking on the part of supposedly smart FREEPERS. They did this last election with McCain and now doing it again with Perry. It is so sad.

Anyway, I think I’m veering off the subject here. Talking about race and racism is tiresome for me to begin with.

*************************************************************

I’m with you there. I can find plenty of logical and tangible reasons to despise our elitist overseers without scrabbling around grasping at race straws.

Truth, no. BS, yes! You and Cain are stinking up the place.

I refuse to infest our country with your liberal Perry and will do everything I can to ensure that does not happen. You would have learned from your last support of McCain that this time we would go with a real conservative like Bachmann, Cain, Palin, or Santorum. Why you are not supporting a 100 percent conservative is beyond me. Typically you are conservative but NOT when you are picking candidates to support.

Good to see you right on topic of this post. Are you in agreement that Perry should withdraw from the race as an insensitive racist?

Thank you. I am not saying he should drop out for being an insensitive racist, but because he is liberal on a number of issues and we have better conservatives to support like Cain.

He’s a radio talk show host. Not some naive businessman. He should have talked about the word, not Perry.
