Far more powerful would have been to point out that Rick Perry had simply done something politically stupid, a tag that would stick for obvious reasons.
You do recognize those "obvious reasons," don't you?
Thought not. At least Perry's empty suit obtuseness is recognizable for those of us who can see the obvious.
What did Perry DO? Excerpt hunt on someone else’s land? SOMEONE ELSE”s LAND?
Perry did nothing “stupid” regarding the epithet. He leased the land for hunting, found the rock, found it offensive, and painted over it. What’s “stupid” about that? You DO understand the concept of a hunting lease, don’t you? We lease our place out to hunters too. Perry did not OWN that land. Depending on the terms of the lease, it’s likely he could only hunt there.
