I'm still looking for something that is "racially charged", let alone, anything that rises to the level of "racism" we see in Sharpton and rent-a-riot. "We are being told that we have to hope [President Obama] succeeds, that we have to bend over, grab the ankles ... because his father was black." [1/21/09] "I do believe" Obama is an "angry black guy." [7/27/09] "Obama's entire economic program is reparations." [7/22/09] Obama is "Halfrican-American." [7/24/07] Or my personal favorite: the time Limbaugh invented a "racial component" to Iraq war vet Paul Hackett's decision to withdraw from a Democratic primary campaign for U.S. Senate in Ohio. Yep, after Hackett's departure from the race against then-Rep. Sherrod Brown, Rush said, "And don't forget, Sherrod Brown is black. There's a racial component here, too." In fact, Brown is white. [edit: I have no idea what this exchange was about, but if he made a mistake, that's not shocking. He has probably 10,000 or more hours of talking on the radio. A few mistakes will happen.]

From an article on the guy who refused to marry an interracial couple: Bardwell further said, "I'm not a racist. I do ceremonies for black couples right here in my house. My main concern is for the children." Bardwell stressed that he couldn't personally endorse the marriage and that he asked his wife to refer the couple to another justice of the peace.

What game of trickery and denial their minds must pay for them.
