Funny, I just watched it again.....some good ole southern boy calls up Mr. Barnes and calls Obama Monkey boy and your Mr. Barnes doesn't say squat. So what's your problem......don't know how to click on a link? I thought you said the video didn't exist. You didn't bother to look, did you? You continue to make things up as you go along. Wouldn't that have been the C-SPAN moderator's role? No. The question was put to Barnes. The caller had just gotten done calling the new president of the US a variation on nigger in a conversation directed at Barnes. Knowing Barnes is a winger, he's probably heard "monkey boy" so many times he thinks its normal. In fact, he's probably used the term himself. I think Barnes handled it fine. By not handling it he did fine??? Such BS. But before you blame the South for the remark, you should keep in mind the lyrics of the famous Randy Newman song "Rednecks" which I feel compelled to post here about once a month so we don't lose track of the real racism in this country. Huh? What does this have to do with anything? The fact that racism exists in the North does not make using racist terms acceptable.
