An Alabama CBS station reported recently on a bar that has an anti-healthcare plan sign using the N-word, which the guy insists doesn’t mean he’s a racist, “those are just the words I choose.”
The response from a couple of right-wing bloggers: This is just an attempt to smear Obama critics as racists! It was biased.
Of course, the fact the same bar ran a white-supremacist party that included a mockup of a Klansman in a hammock (made of two lynched blacks tied together) might suggest the gentleman does indeed have racial issues.
And the article doesn’t smear anyone: It notes that blacks and whites in the area want it to come down.
Nevertheless, blogger “the other McCain” discusses how this is all unfairly smearing the South as racist.
Roy Edroso has the details and the links (Saturday’s post–scroll down).
