“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”

“I’m trying to rehab the name “redneck” if you haven’t already guessed.”
No need for any “rehab”; I readily admit growing up on a southern, black-dirt farm doing manual labor hoeing beans and such in that hot sun and earned my redneck status!!

“I wasn’t suggesting Perry had done anything wrong. That’s ridiculous. Whoever the owners are should.”
Let’s take this one more step Cindie. Exactly what did the owners do wrong, eh? Be specific and justify your answer with facts, not just a generic PC statement! We’ve already heard enough of those...
JC
I told no lies at all. Your talker messed up.
“If most of these places names were changed in 1962, why didn’t the Perry’s change the name then, instead of waiting 20+ years? When did it become offensive to them?”
Well, Perry was probably in grammar school at that time and did NOT own the ranch either; his family later had a hunting lease for the property, NOT ownership! What, are you a PC moron? (Sorry, if I was “insensitive”...)
JC
“Since they didn’t own or lease the property from 1962. I mean to ask why they didn’t just get rid of the rock after all these years since the name is STILL visible under the paint? Break it up and get rid of it.”
I had not read this prior to my last post, but still doesn’t materially change my conclusion - they tipped the rock over, painted over the name, etc, so what do you expect? Haul a jackhammer and air compressor out into the boonies to break up a painted rock?? What, are you a PC moron?? Get a grip on yourself! SHEEESH
JC
“Was it their rock to paint?”
You just answered my prior question - you are indeed a PC moron, no question about it now!
JC
Once again, you're the one who always resorts to name calling, not me. When you can make a case that Perry's illegals record, his Gardisil EO, and his cronyism is "conservative", then maybe you can stop sputtering for a change. But you won't (or can't), so you sputter.....
“It’s a stretch to believe that any non-black person today, would speak that word without malice aforethought. It’s been understood to be a racial slur since before I was born in the early fifties.”
It is indeed interesting that you do not include black persons in this denunciation, eh? Do I understand that if a black rapper calls you a “nigga” or a “ho” or a “bitch” (as they commonly do in their so-called music), that wouldn’t also be a slur to you? Really??
JC
“I bet he hunted there with Senators Byrd and Gore senior.”
OK, I’ll take you up on that bet tippy! How much are you willing to lose? (No IOUs and no personal checks, eh?)
JC
“Set foot and leased are two different things. If they were going to paint the rick they could have puttied it first so that the wording would not still be visible.”
There you go again jimmy!
JC
Missy, I don’t think he’s been guvner for the entire past 25+ years. Brush up on your math, eh?
JC
Just kidding.
A club with that name might appeal those Senators though given their racial views.
Liar.
Accuser without proof or substance. Sort of like your professional talker.
The proof is in your own words. Cain didn’t lie and he didn’t play the false black victim. Those were lies you told. Saying that you didn’t lie is another lie.
I hear you...neither one of those doofuses would be caught dead on a West Texas hunting lease! But then, both are already dead, eh?
JC
I didn't denounce anyone. I said that the word nigger has been commonly understood to be a racial slur since before I was born in the early fifties, and that no non-black person would speak it today without malice aforethought.
Do I understand that if a black rapper calls you a “nigga” or a “ho” or a “bitch” (as they commonly do in their so-called music), that wouldn’t also be a slur to you? Really??
Nice trick. Are you a lawyer? You impute meanings to my words that aren't there, and that I didn't intend, then feign astonishment at my gall. That's a rotten thing to do to me, Freeper.
Governor Perry is the long term elected Executive Officer of Texas. He makes decisions and acts on them. He acts perfectly within his statuatory powers and responds appropriately when the voters demand one thing or dener. He’s pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution.
He’s less interested on being liked, but is interested on being right.
Now if want to keep making these asinine posts to me, knock yourself out. I can't stop you. But I do enjoy seeing you look foolish in public.
Sorry Charlie, but I didn’t impute anything and I’m certainly not a lawyer. I merely asked a couple of questions in order to ascertain the meaning of your curiously-worded posting, but take note of your failure to directly answer either one along with the accompanying expression of indignation that I would be so brash as to even question your statement. That was instructive, so thank you...
