Haha, niggerhead hunting camp, white people are hilarious.

Offensive name for sure . So is teaba@@er .

All people are hilarious… or do you not see that you are just as guilty with your statement as anyone else could be.

Translation… YOU’RE A BIGOT.

Why would someone censor that when spraying it on a rock?

JR Perry Jr. just can’t catch a break, poor little dummy.

Front page news about a sign that no one can see, that was long ago painted over, that has been knocked to the ground, and at an entrance no one ever uses.  I can see why it’s on the front page of the Washington Post.  They seek to divide America over nothing.

Obama is nearly finished.

And childish. Like calling the Health Care Reform Act “Obamacare.”

The WP just supplied Al Sharpton and the rest of the MSNBC primetime nuts with material for the whole week .

a redneck hunter from texas might be secretly racist?!

impossible!

well, since the teabaggers came up the name teabagger…..

are you calling your own people offensive?

Frankly, this is pretty weak tea when compared to the other enormous problems with Perry’s record and rhetoric. America doesn’t need another gun-slinging, anti-intellectual cowboy in the Oval Office. We tried that for eight years and the results were pretty disastrous.

First it’s his Movie Gallery investments:
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2011/08/19/121366/perry-once-invested-in-firm-that.html

And now some more cutting-edge investigative reporting by the Washington Post?  Hey, I think he used to cup his farts and smell them as a kid…but save that story for next Sunday’s edition.

The desperation by the liberal progressives borders on hilarious. 

i fail to see how this is going to “divide” americans

i also fail to see what this has to do with obama

Haters breed haters.Texas seems to have bred a lot of hateful humans.

That is so freaking offensive, when will these honkey crackers stop!

“pretty” disastrous?

i would say “catastrophically disastrous” actually

If he denounced it then what is the problem? The Liberals have told us over and over again that Obama denounced Wright and Ayers and that Robert Byrd denounced the KKK. So, does “denouncing” work for both sides or just the unmentionables on the left?

As opposed to the ridiculous nontroversies that obsess the Faux News pundits, like the New Black Panthers, the terrorist fist bump, ACORN and Common?

No new Texans.

Do you find that when people who know you see you at the grocery store , they take a different aisle rather than have to speak to you ? Do you wonder why , or do you know why ?

Hey Herman now do you understand why Blacks left the Republican party, They don’t want us.

i don’t go to grocery stores

i’m an actual hippie

yes, we still exist

I love it, now we have moved to “casual racism”.  This is distinguished from “Direct racism”, such as Tommy highlighting a race-based story in an attempt to attach it to Perry that at best has content which is two decades old.  Any rational person would call this story beyond a stretch, but TC gives an exaustive account so perry can have racism implicit.

Lets ask Hannity and Palin

You know the answer to your question- “just the unmentionables on the left.”

Groovy , if that’s your bag .

What I find hard to believe, but true is that Bush is actually smarter than Perry. Bush could really struggle speaking English at times, but Perry can make you shrug in disbelief like during the last debate.

Wonder if Gov.Perry will invite Herman Cain to come shoot it up with the good ol boys at his camp.YEEEHAWWW!

Wonder if Gov.Perry will invite Herman Cain to come shoot it up with the good ol boys at his camp.YEEEHAWWW!

It speaks volumes that you would regard this story as proof of anything.

Sure they do.They want them to come serve the beer and vittles.

Wake up and smell the cow pie.

I wonder if you were at the ThinkProgress rally where numerous benevolent, socially-sensitive, never-racist white people were calling for Clarence Thomas to be sent out into the fields, and lynched.

Go look up the word on Wikipedia- it was often used for geographical features, worldwide. Trying to “tar” Perry with this is the usual ridiculous leftist dogma. No matter that he doesn’t own the land or the hunting camp. Who IS the owner? How many “Niggerhead”s were on the map before the 1962 change? 

I’ve seen less tolerance of different races in New York, Boston and DC than I’ve ever seen in Texas- you’d better check yourselves first- how many AA friends do you actually hang out with, how many Hispanics do you hang out with, how many AA or Latino men/women have you actually asked out on a date? 

Give it a rest, folks. Stop crying, “Wolf”- or in this case, “racist.”

It is interesting that back in the 80′s Perry was a Democrat. He was taking Democrat politicians to the place then. Where was all the Democratic outrage about the word then? If it was such an issue why wasn’t it brought up when Perry has run for other numerous elected positions?

You mean when they all got together for a nice hate filled rally:

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2011/02/hateful-liberals-call-for-lynching-of-justice-thomas-at-rally-video/

I was undecided before but Perry now has my vote.

Let’s hurry up and ban all of Joseph Conrad’s books. Oh, we already have?

Well at least Liberals aren’t secret about it when they call for Clarence Thomas to be lynched.

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2011/02/hateful-liberals-call-for-lynching-of-justice-thomas-at-rally-video/

No surprises here – Tommy, Dan, mediaite and the WAPO doing the dirty work for Team Obama…working overtime to slander Obama’s opponents.  And to think, the media NEVER vetted Obama, always made excuses for his love of the Rev Wright….then the media made excuses for Obama.

How much of a bonus check does Tommy and mediaite get from soros or whoever to push this tripe out there?

Pathetic piece of work and oh so transparent and typical.

Rick!

Apparently all the people in California are racists. The name is even on the Google map. What is the world coming too when an entire State is filled with racists?

Niggerhead Mountain in Los Angeles County, California.

http://californiamaps.org/place.php?county=Los+Angeles&feature=Niggerhead+Mountain

I knew this would be the top story here, when I saw it in the news…

I have never heard that name before, so I googled it. Who knew it had so many uses…

http://www.wordnik.com/words/niggerhead
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niggerhead

Question – why didn’t any of these people who now claim to have seen it, and been offended ever say something to Perry, the owners of the camp, or just flat out remove it themselves? Or leave? Why even stay and enjoy the camp if you are so offended by the rock? Aren’t they displaying a teeny bit of hypocrisy here? 

Funny how years later they come out of the woodwork to anonymously contribute to a negative story.  

Sounds like it was painted over, but you could still partially see it, so that doesn’t mean it wasn’t painted over. 

Apparently every Canadian is racist.

well he was a democrat back then so tommy he just followed your party’s lead

Found more racists in GA. It is really weird how all the places have one thing in common. IT IS THE NAME GIVEN TO A ROCK.

The line then runs southeast with the Cherokee line, passing the Red Marble

Aboriginal group outraged over naming of mountain:

Why do you hate so much? You sound a lot like Michelle with all the craven, knee-jerk Obama-hating rhetoric. Don’t you have a life to live?

This just reeks of bullchit.  To even publish a story like this WAPO should be forced to provide ironclad proof that Perry was somehow ok with the rock instead of bs he said/she said.

Oh snap!! Another friggin’ rock in the US.

http://www.wurlington-bros.com/Museum/Faces/labels/NHead.html

Darla you live in CA. Why haven’t you had the name of this Mountain changed? Secretly racist?

Niggerhead Mountain in Los Angeles County, California.

Study up on Texas politics. There was no viable Republican Party in Texas at the time.

In California they re-name a mountain from Niggerhead to Negrohead in honor of a slave.

http://www.hinterlandgazette.com/2010/02/negrohead-mountain-renamed-after-john.html

Negrohead Mountain, formerly known as Niggerhead Mountain, located in Southern California’s Santa Monica range, was officially renamed Saturday in honor of John Ballard, a former slave who bought land on the mountain in 1880. 

There aren’t enough idiots out there like you to help him dig himself out.

You know it Darladoon, run like hell.

Please study up on Texas politics. There was no viable Republican Party in Texas at the time. Perry followed the crowd switching to the GOP in the early 90′s.

THIS JUST IN : Obama demands Perry denounce that rock , just as King Obama put Maxine Waters , Andre Carson and Junior Hoffa in their place after their horrible comments .

I am not a fan of Rick Perry nor would I ever vote for him…BUT…if anyone thinks Tommy wrote this piece to do any more than to call attention to said article, and the underlying insinuations, is delusional. In the guise of being fair…..he directs wandering eyes to the very report that he seems to hold up for inspection. It’s a tactic that Tommy has mastered.

Tommy, you got your nose stuck so far up BSNBC’s butt, everything that comes out if pretty shitty. 

Hey Im black, and Im from Texas. This is nothing new to me. No surprises here. Yes there are alot of racists rednecks down here. I dont think Perry is one of them, but I do think its worth looking into the people he associates himself with. If conservatives beat up Obama about Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers, then the same thing should be looked at for Perry.

True…

ChickaBOOMer| Rick Perry: Between A Rock and a Hard Place
http://chickaboomer.blogspot.com/2011/10/rick-perry-between-rock-and-hard-place.html

 President Obama attended the church of Rev. Wright for 20 years, dedicated a book to him as a his mentor, and then later argued that he had no idea what the Rev. had been preaching because he hadn’t been there during those partiuclar sermons…

The media portrayed the entire issue as the equivalent of the southern strategy.

Now, “Fairly or unfairly”….Perry must account to the media for a painted over rock.

Fasten you seat belts, folks,  The American Media Party hasn’t even begun to fight.

The only thing this story shows is how desperate the left wing media is getting.

Where do you think George H.W. Bush came from? He wasn’t “full blown from the head of Zeus!”

In the SIXTIES (’60s) the Texas Republican Party was not strong. By the EIGHTIES, the GOP in Texas WAS a viable and winning entity. YOU don’t know your history.

YOU don’t know what you are talking about! Obviously, for you, ignorance is bliss.

Not a good name for a camp!

They must be really scared of Perry to manufacture this non-story.

In-State Tuition For Illegal Aliens !!   N*ggerhead Camp !!

Rick Perry – Less Than One And Done !!

One More Thing !!

TollBooth !!!

Yes, you caught me! Mighty Mediaite is “elevating” this story from the lowly, off-the-grid Washington Post! You’re a genius!

How idiotic is the “guise of being fair” construct? Is that how a partisan says, “Good, fair article, Tommy. Thank you.”

If so, you’re welcome.

purely hilarious response

A “niggerhead rock was a term for a round granite rock common in Indiana, it had a scientific name which iI can not remember but the name went out of fashion in the 1950′s. Niggerhead Yams are grown in South America, I am sure that has grown out of fashion as well. Niggardly is a nordic word meaning stingy which should be avoided because of peoples sensitivity. Reniging should be avoided also.

is your response to everything You’re a bigot….you make no sense

“You’re a genius!”
I just might be….

And your reaction is a little over the top for an “innocent” man.
Oh and Mediaite is mighty….just ask Dan and Colby. Casting aspersions on it’s mightiness might be cause for a visit to the wood shed. There IS a woodshed, right?

I would say 90% of the people call it “Obamacare”. I had to think about the true name.

you would not know a fair article if it hit you in the face tommy, but nice fake outrage

In the 1960′s there were no Republicans in Texas, so odds are a Democrat painted the name on the rock.

Desperate people have desperate ways.

hard to believe a democrat would lease a place with that name huh?

Well, black folks certainly call themselves n*ggers- so I guess this is a nonstory in your eyes.

When liberals can’t run on their disastrous track record, they are forced to deal in garbage like this.

And Mediaite goes along for the ride.  Compare the number of articles here that play the race card, versus those that report on the economy….or the war fronts…or the deficits…or anything other substantive, real issue of the day.   Real issues are ignored, and race-card playing is repeated ad nauseam.

That tells you everything you need to know about the level of “journalism” practiced here. 

It could be worse, he could be calling for the beheading of American’s whose only “crime” is being successful, eh Darla?

You’ve obviously never heard Barry speak off-prompter.  Talk about a bumbling moron.

Clarence Thomas is a criminal. And his spineless leader Justice Roberts tolerates his criminal behavior. There is no lynching for Thomas, he just needs to RESIGN from the SCOTUS for incompetence and spend some time in the jail cells that he so gladly made available to so many others.

Because it TX, they live in a world of their own and racism mostly against hispanics is a societal norm. Fortunately, for the rest of the country, outside the SOUTH such uninformed behavior is relevant to whether a person is fit to be PRESIDENT OF ALL THE PEOPLE. In addition, Perry believes in his exceptionalism so much that he would accept secession as a solution to the states’ problems. This is just cumulative information, that indicates the man lacks the vision, world view and ability to lead, to be President of the US. He also, said in his book, that the states should each be harbors for those of “like minded individuals” and that while he loved TX, he would find it difficult to work with the people in MA and their ilk. I would say, Mr. Perry recognizes that his world view is incompatible with so many people in the country.

I’m willing to give Perry a pass on this. He didn’t name the place and there seems to be some question as to when it was scrubbed. Calling Perry a racist because of this makes as much sense as saying that Obama “palled around with terrorists.”

Not true. His grandfather and grandmother were white as was his mother.  He was very successful in the WHITE man’s environment at Harvard Law and the law Review for which he was elected EDITOR. He is comfortable in his skin. Only those who are “afraid” of the other practice and verbalize racism and bigotry. Obama has courage in the face of adversity, he doesn’t have time for hate. He is too busy doing the job he was elected by 61 mn people to do.

No the past 30 years have given me all the proof I needed but t for me and hermanhis was a nice reminder

Yes and those Democrats all left to join the republican party when their children had to go to school with blacks.

The only Kings on CAPITAL HILL are those that lead the US House. the GOP and the TPARTY NATIONALISts ARE THE ONES who want to enshrine oligarchy as a form of governance for this country. they are the ones who have determined that the tyranny of the minority shall rule. The tyrants in the House, inspite of overwhelming evidence still want to PROMOTE TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMIC policies which have enriched the few, while impoverishing the many. They ran on JOB CREATION in 2010 and have not produced ONE SINGLE JOBS BILL and are trying to dismantle the US postal service which has been a successful entity for 231 years. Grover Norquist is the King maker, the kochroaches and the Murdogs are his co-conspirators and they sir are members/leaders of the GOP/TMOB.

you’re so happy to keep retyping the N word….banner day in your little world.

What is it with these Republican inbreds.  Their still fighting the civil war.  

Another manufactured attack piece on an Obama opponent by the liberal media…the same media that never investigated nor vetted Obama.

HI TOMMY!!! :-D

Well aren’t you shrewed at finding rocks. Life-time skill or just a short, relevant habit?

Um… you might want to stop chasing rocks. I hear people get arrested for that.

I think he’s a rock addict as well.

“Well aren’t you shrewed at finding rocks. Life-time skill or just a short, relevant habit?”

Just a short relevant habit to prove my point.

Not true:

From Dreams of My Father: ‘I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the
age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was
ingratiating myself to whites.’

From Dreams of My Father: ‘I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.’

From Dreams of My Father: ‘There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.’

From
Dreams of My Father: ‘It remained necessary to prove which side you
were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and
name names.’

And let’s not forget his Grandma was a “typical white woman”.

and ps, That 61% is down in the 30′s now.  Ouch!

You thought that was “over the top?” Really? Have you not read anything I’ve ever written? Who are you, and what have you done with the real Puter Boi?

He seems to only like the “typical white persons” like his grandmother. All the other not typical ones; who knows?

“Um… you might want to stop chasing rocks. I hear people get arrested for that.”

Tell us Broad, how exactly does one chase rocks? You seem to be well versed on the topic of fleeing rocks so maybe you can enlighten us.  Personally I have never seen these elusive fast moving rocks that need to be chased, but they must be abundant in your area since you have heard of the arrests of rock chasers.

Here is another resentful bigot that is angry because he can’t throw around his favorite words without being called out on it.

Get over yourself and the racism you grew up with.

So everyone was Democrats in Texas at that time? How does that change anything? Either all the people that went to the camp had an issue with the rock or they didn’t. Since this is the first time anyone is hearing anything about it I would guess no one had an issue.

You’d better check yourself, buddy.  You’re asking to be banned.

puterBoi, tommy does not even fake trying to be fair……he is a liberal blogger

Wait until the Media starts using Romney’s Mormonism against him. They’re going to manufacture stories about Romney’s father being a racist Mormon. 

Wait until the Media starts using Romney’s Mormonism against him. They’re going to manufacture stories about Romney’s father being a racist Mormon. 

So he saw the rock with the offensive language, called his relatives and asked them to make sure it was painted over the next time they were there, and it was subsequently painted over soon after …

… and the liberals’ complaint about Perry is what, exactly?

T.C.
I said…”a little over the top”….sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh…
No problem though….you are still my fave slouchy White House reporter guy….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykRZbOb1c5c

Not at all, I am just so happy to keep proving how ignorant Liberals are.  You seem to be all outraged over 1 rock in 1 remote area of Texas that has been there for years and years that at one point had the name painted on it before it was painted over.  Where’s the similar outrage about all the other rocks and mountains worldwide with the same name? In California they re-named a mountain from Niggerhead to Negrohead in honor of a slave.  So because it is in Texas it is offensive to blacks but in California it is celebrated?

If you care to waste your time, read the history of the behavior of the WINNING SIDE.. The civil war was never “ENDED”.. you know the proof, its perfectly FINE to fly the flag of the losing side without any repercussions. Dont sleep on “the end of the civil war”.. read, learn and if you care, BE VIGILANT > because THEY are..

He is being called “INSENSITIVE” not RACIST. Two different things that mean: A racist person lynches a black person and smiles and waves at the camera; An insensitive person turns away from the camera and doesnt STOP the lynching in the first place.

Prescient:
The race card presidenthttp://www.lvrj.com/opinion/the-race-card-president-130931858.html

Racist

 If the reporting is “solid,” why is there no photograph when the reporter claims that the Post has a has taken one?

That “Titanic struggle” Axelrod is talking about is the scramble for a seat on a life boat.

You’re looking for any excuse to affirm your own racism.  The mountain has already been renamed (first to Negrohead Mountain, and now John Ballard Mountain, for the black man who originally settled it). 

http://www.theroot.com/blogs/dig/negro-head-mountain-gets-name-change

http://articles.latimes.com/2009/feb/24/local/me-mountain24

But go right ahead and keep on defending racism.  It’s a FREE country…

So, no one has said one word about this rock for 28 years and suddenly now it becomes an issue?

You also can’t say or type out “Kill Wights” because of rednecks that can’t read books(pretty good books I would say).

Did you really have a point there or  was it just sputtering?

Parry should get out of the race before more stuff falls out of the closet.  

sweetpea….( can I call you sweetpea?) too late i just did :) Those stems/caps and tabs have an accumlative effect which if done to excess leave permanent damage. You should fight “the man” and have a good time while in college but those flash backs aren’t always the best thing when creating xls. or power point presentations in the real world.

So, soap is out of the question?

Screw avoiding them….Screw Political correctness……and Screw you!!!

Why in the hell would we want to replace Obama with a niggerhead lover?
:)

A better comparison would be to other politicians of Byrd’s era.
The difference is Byrd denounced and spent the remainder of his life trying to make amends. The GOP never called on Jesse Helms and Strom ‘love child” Thurmond to change their ways, and they remained unapologetic for their racism.

You mean those guys who openly threatened people in front of a voting station…and ACORN, openly sanctioning child prostetution….those controversies??

Why, are they running for, or holding office?

Having lived in Texas for the past 9 years, and originally coming from a very populated northern state, I’d have to say that if you ever wanted to live in a racist state, this is the one to be in. 

There’s a difference between tolerance and acceptance.  In Texas, they barely tolerate.

Yet when dems say overtly racist things in the past few years that is easily bypassed, because they are on the “correct” side of things.

Perry 15 minutes of fame is up.

You have no shame.

As sad as it is I do have to agree with you on this one.  Stupid story!

That is because no one has ever seen a “black/brown” mormon!

Yes, I know the feeling.  I live in Florida and we have more of our share of rednecks here.

Great answer!

Obama’s uncle is a DUI illegal immigrant recently arrested AGAIN for DUI, yet THIS is a news story.

yeah, no double standard or Obama taint in the media.,..  

This is the biggest UNTRUTH stated on this blog today…..I couldn’t quit laughing and shaking my head.  Not in my experience after living here for over 25 years and I travel extensively to other parts of the U.S.  The article in the WashPost is just another example of liberal bias against anyone/anything remotely conservative.  So, what?  we’re supposed to now believe that Gov. Perry is highly tolerant of Hispanics but hates blacks?  But, I digress….let’s get back to the numerous northern redneck bigots that exist.  The accent might be different but the racist intent belongs all to them.

How outrageous, yea, for sure he’s the man to elect for all the people of the US.  Not on your life.

I see how it works. When liberals bring up the N-word it is scholarly, but if anyone on the right extends that narrative then they become the racists. Very convenient to propose a subject and then condemn anyone engaging in the subject.

Thank you for calling out this extremism. ONLY Rick Perry’s rock is racist; any other proof of the similar appearance of like-named rocks are politically invalid.

For WHAT…..???
Name one thing wrong with my statement….
(and take a bath you stinking hippie)

There is a mountain in California that was named that, and it was even on federal maps bearing that name. They changed the name not long ago. Does that mean everyone who grew up near there or used that old name is a racist? That is what you are saying, isn’t it?

Liberals are liberal only when it suits them. Tolerance and giving people the benefit of the doubt don’t apply when it is a conservative target do they?

It’s called “perpetuating a narrative”.  This was nothing more than a less-than-sly way of trying to fling more racist mud without getting your own fingers dirty.  May as well just have written, “It wasn’t ME who was calling Perry a racist, it was WaPo!”

Rage on in your anger and impotence. Thomas is not going anywhere, unless you are going to act on your hate. Are you?

That was not my experience in Texas. Where are you talking about?

Actually, I agree with Obama, I like the term Obamacare.  I really do.

Themselves to themselves.  What does what blacks say to themselves have to do with whites?  Non story indeed. 

I tell you what, the next time you see two large black men (and no this is not a Palin story), run up to them and say since you guys say the word, how you niggers doing? 

Let us know how it turns out.

So are you serving notice on Texans and preparing to carry out some sort of ethnic cleansing?

I wish him luck trying that in Texas.

Proof not your strong suit?

whats the problem?

Actually doodadio, they only changed the name to Ballard Mountain last year.

Back at you, Roger.

No, that would be you.

I just want to watch when he tries.

I stand corrected. All I knew was it had changed. Thanks for the update. Why did they wait so long to change it? Must be the racists had a good hold until Brown got reelected.

Well, I suppose those remarks were also a commentary on just what it is that makes headlines here.

The Administrations’ document release on Fast and Furious was covered by the Washington Post too, you know.

It’s my theory that whether it’s a charge from the The Washington Post or those  from far less lofty conservative blogs, your coverage in particular “fairly or unfairly” seems to be either a passionate rebuttal  to charges against the administration and a straight forward accounting of accusations against Republicans.

But..but..but..your Lib friends form the link want him lynched. Are they racists?

So Limpbaals, would you have voted for Obama had he been a far right Conservative? Why or why not?

Desperate piece of sh t is a term of endearment in some countries!

It was still promoted by “Fox” as a negative!

Stretch.

Always. Otherwise you could get a cramp.

It’s called “renege,” and it means to fail to fullfill a prior request or promise. Shortened from “renegotiate.” Even your blatant bigotry is tainted with ignorance.

The media attention that this story is getting and the shameful yet predictable way in which Gov. Perry is being treated is tragically reminiscent of the feeding frenzy that occurred several years ago when another GOP member used the word niggardly to describe another person’s petty and selfish actions.

Look it up and you will find that that ‘political lynching’ was as gross and unjust as this atrocity that is being manufactured against Rick Perry.

Tommy you can end this madness if you want to!

Perry is a complete buffoon who should withdraw now and save the country further embarrassment. 

Don’t you just wish that Obama had been put under a microscope like all the Republicans are going to be. Oh wait, he owns the media!

Actually, if YOU were going to attempt to be fair, you would note that I made that exact criticism of the WaPo piece.

Its not just what you say. Beating up on Americas black population is chapter 3 in how to run as a republican. why would I back a party who insults me and thinks its okay.

Good question because the one in Texas was changed in 1968, after Lady Bird Johnson asked the U.S. Board on Geographic Names and the U.S. Forest Service to change its name, and she was a Native Texan.

According to the WaPo article, Ronnie Brooks, a retired game warden, remembers seeing the stone with the word on it sometime in the early to mid 1980s. Other unnamed sources also say they remember seeing it around that time, but can’t remember exactly when it got painted over.
PERRY WAS A DEMOCRAT THEN, AND ALL THE POLITICIANS AND SUPPORTERS HE TOOK TO THE RANCH WERE DEMOCRATS.
Perry became a Republican in 1989, and the offending sign was, without any doubt, turned on its side and painted over by then.

Perry became a Republican in 1989, and the offending sign was, without any doubt, turned on its side and painted over by then.

Why didn’t Perry’s racist Democrat buddies complain back in 1984, when Perry was taking his donors out there for a little hunting?You know, back when Perry was a Democrat?

Perry was a Democrat back then. Didn’t you know that?

I would I know? The Dems have been doing exactly that for generations. The very concept that they regard a black conservative as a slight against a race is proof.

If you were being critical of the WaPo piece you have an odd way of expressing it. Perry did not place the name at the entrance of the camp, and you surmise he may not have reacted boldly enough – 30 years ago. You basically recounted all of the racist content that could be aimed at Perry, even closing the piece with the pull quote that implied a cover up of this decades old non-story. But nice dodge – it’s all WaPo’s fault, you only repeated it.

just the GOP/TEAPARTY/I’M MAD A BLACK IS PRESIDENT/ANGRY/WHITE PERSON …. JUST HOW THEY ARE THESE DAYS UGLY VILE SOBs

You have no idea what you’re talking about. Hispanics in Texas are treated like any other person- having a Spanish surname isn’t something that anyone discriminates about. We DO discriminate about CRIMINALS, however, whether white, black or Hispanic. 

The only rednecks here are people like you and the rest of the hypocritical Left.

Thanks or proving blacks are violent.

Obama has no problem with it being called Obama care

Correct, Obama did say that. More in the sense of accepting a negative, which he’s been big enough do several times! Ailes did send out a meno to the “Fox” minions to use that term,… it was done as a negative, but now it’s lost it’s zip!

You mean “reneg”.
The word is still offensive, no matter how many racists use it.

Yes.  Somewhere between 1983 and 1992 he realized it was an offensive word. Hmm.

Then he realized that a racist would be more comfortable in the Republican Party, so he switched.

The Republican Party. http://front.moveon.org/dear-republicans-youre-thinking-of-jesus/

sorry but those were plants.

I think a story about a presidential candidate and his issues involving race, to be a little more important than some non politician’s driving record.

So is “obamacare” a double entendre for a gay sex act too?

Who knew!

Who needs grocery stores when you can dumpster dive, right Darla?
Or excuse me- its not dumpster diving…its called “urban foraging” now…

By the way, he never wrote the word “elevating” so why did you quote it?

Here’s a tip Tommy: When putting quotation marks around a word, make sure they actually used the word you are quoting. 

But you may be right that lowly Mediaite couldn’t possibly elevate a story from WaPo. It doesnt hurt to try though does it?

elevate, perpetuate, insinuate- however you got to do it, all means to an end, right Tommy?

PuterBoi Nails Tommy here! You are dead on…

I only disagree that Tommy has mastered this tactic…a big part of mastering insinuation tactics is to pull it off without being detected.

I think I see why Tommy responded to you..I don’t think he likes being exposed.

So if you didnt like what WaPo did, why run with the story at all?

here’s a hint – Google “southern strategy”

only on parallel teabagger bizarro earth

well, if you want to go there – we can discuss Ricky’s insane preacher pals, too – you know, the ones who say the statue of liberty is “a demonic idol” and believe the japanese emperor “sleeps with a sun goddess.”

well, the Republicans must have been impressed with his attitudes, because they took him in

I read the story, I’m not sure why Perry is being attacked.   An ugly word, to be sure, but if someone puts a swastika on my rock, all you can do is paint over it.  This actually occurred in the 80′s and they painted over it.  Are they supposed to haul the rock away or pulverize it? Seriously, Joe’s off the deep end on this one.  

Really, the media is just a sad, lazy mess. Anything in the Washington post or NY Times gets covered by EVERYONE else regardless of reasoning or value. 

no, it happened then, they painted it over. No one alleges they used the term, or did anything other than see it on the rock, and get it covered.

Media Matters paying you well?  Really, better jobs out there at McDonalds.  Same pay, but you do a real job and provide a real service.   

Facts that are relevant and should have been in the article.   I’m not a Perry supporter at all, but this kind of lazy media slandering has got to stop.  The Washington Post should never be this slimy.

The N-word has a long, ugly history, and deserves a special level of repulsion.   Much uglier history.    I get your point, but only losers and idiots use the term t-bag, so while rude and immature, nowhere near the same history of offensive. 

sorry, obamacare is rightfully named.  He led the initiative, and should be proud of his achievement.   

“Perry’s campaign officials said that the governor’s own administration
has compiled a strong record on issues of inclusiveness and diversity.”,,,,,,,BUT ON THE WEEKENDS!……………..

I thought the same thing when I saw the story.   One thing for this type of obvious, baseless smearing to be done by the operatives and even blog sites.  But the Washington Post to write a story about a sign on a rental property in the 80′s, while democrats are trying to smear all conservatives as racist.

so secret, even Perry doesn’t no it.

Now that is truly a secret racist. 

All the idiots who argue over one word must have been absent from kindergarden when they would have been taught the jingle about “Sticks and Stones”.

It takes us a long time to cover up Americas faults. Perry is a weird guy I hope he goes away soon.

I think this is completely buttressed by the fact now that this site has run no less than FOUR versions of this story in a 24 hour cycle, including two from Tommy, all of which include the dastardly term in the headline.  Any and all attempts to attach N*ggerhead to the name of Rick Perry have clearly been made now by mediaite, all under the guise of “media coverage”.  Pathetic.

That is a popular misconception. The departure of people from the democrat party is more due to the left turn the democrats took than from a racism standpoint. In the south democrats were more conservative, and when the democrat party became full of liberal ideologues then many democrat voters left the democrat party for the more conservative republican party.

Your argument is a liberal’s way of declaring a large non-homogenous group of people racist.

So, a logical mind could conclude that the people in California are more racist than the people in Texas, or the Texans are more advanced than Californians.

I thought as much. The guilty dog barks the loudest.

Ignoramous! clarence thomas is a crook. He lied on his financials. and he lied at his confirmation hearings. Anita Hill, Profess Anita Hill testifed that he was unfit for the position as a Justice. She was right. Arlen Specter got him confirmed any way. A great loss for the country. thurgood Marshall would be in tears at what this man has done to the US Constitution.

FYI, not everyone in California is liberal.  just sayin

Actually doodaddio, assuming you have one, a logical mind would conclude that Lady Bird Johnson was less racist than people who knew about the mountain in California (or had the power to change the name), but perhaps they never had a first lady or anyone with any clout to change the name, who knows why. 

Regardless, changing the name of small rock on an individual’s own property is easily done, and should have been handled quickly by someone in that family.  

A logical mind thinks the most.

But those that aren’t are a small minority, like in New York.

You would say that. You would also be very, very wrong.

What do you see that is defending racism in 2012freedom’s comment?

I think you see racism in everything. You need new glasses.

For TX –

Actually the mountain is near Los Angeles, so your argument holds no sway with me. The people in Los Angeles could have changed it at any time, which they did last year. In this country the people have the power if they will use it.

As far as naming a rock goes, since it is on private property, who cares what they call it? There are more important issues facing the nation than the name of a rock on some privately owned property. A logical mind would be able to figure that out.

A logical mind would also be able to understand that insulting people is not the way to persuade them to look at your argument with any degree of seriousness. Unless you are interested in a serious discussion of this matter, you may as well not respond.

Actually Genius my name is not doodadio, that is someone else. You responded to me.
The PROPERTY NEVER BELONGED TO THE PERRY’S. They had a hunting Lease on it.
