Joe Scarborough: ‘N*ggerhead’ Story ‘Disqualifying’ To Rick Perry (While Mika Defends)

video
» 181 comments

In an odd role reversal, Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough strongly denounced Texas Gov. Rick Perry, this morning, over a Washington Post report about a hunting camp that once (and colloquially, still does) bore the offensive name “N*ggerhead,” while liberal co-host Mika Brzezinski defended Perry and mocked the news value of the story. Scarborough called the incident “disqualifying,” while Brzezinski’s faint defense involved asking whether Perry isn’t “running around screaming (the n-word) wildly at people?”

According to that WaPo report, Perry’s father, and later, Perry himself, leased a hunting camp, whose entrance was marked with a large rock bearing the name “Niggerhead,” beginning in 1983. According to Perry, his father painted over the name during the 4th of July holiday in 1983. There’s a slight contradiction in Perry’s account, as he first said “he was not with his father when he painted over the name but that he ,agreed with’ the decision,” then on follow-up, loosened the time frame, and strongly suggested that painting the rock was his idea. The report goes on to quote unnamed sources saying that they had visited the camp with Perry as recently as 1991, while the name “N*ggerhead” was still visible, but the report also quotes some named sources who seem to contradict Perry.

Rising GOP star Herman Cain denounced Perry as “insensitive” in multiple interviews Sunday, prompting this statement from a Perry spokesperson:

Ray Sullivan, Perry’s campaign communications director, issued a statement soon after Cain was asked about the camp on both the ABC and Fox morning programs.

“Mr. Cain is wrong about the Perry family’s quick action to eliminate the word on the rock, but is right the word written by others long ago is insensitive and offensive. That is why the Perrys took quick action to cover and obscure it,” Sullivan said.

“As Gov. Perry told the Washington Post, `The old name has its origins from another time and era when unfortunately, offensive language was used to name some land formations around the country. When my dad joined the lease in 1983, he soon painted over the offensive word. It is my understanding that the rock was also turned over to further obscure what was originally written on it.’”

Sullivan went on to stress that Perry has appointed African-Americans to several Texas posts, including chief justice of the state supreme court and his own chief of staff.

Morning Joe played a clip of Herman Cain’s denunciation on Fox News Sunday to intro the story, which appears to be the trend in cable news coverage of this story, even though Cain made a similar denunciation on ABC’s This Week with Christiane Amanpour. Accidental or not, the choice underscores the degree to which Cain’s statements complicate this story for Perry. It’s a lot easier to dismiss a “hit piece” from the “liberal media” than an attack from a rising conservative superstar on a network with a huge conservative viewership.

The clip was followed by the Perry campaign’s response to Cain, and the whole story was delivered with eye-rolling disdain by Mika Brzezinski. She began on solid ground by questioning the news value of the story, a legitimate criticism that we made Sunday, and which was well-stated by CNN’s Will Cain last night. Herman Cain’s involvement, however, changes that equation considerably.

Less convincing was Brzezinski’s fallback defense of Perry. “Do you think the word that is on the rock, that was removed three years ago,” she began, “is a word that Rick Perry is running around, screaming wildly at people?”

Even the most jaded liberal has got to have a higher bar than that for racial sensitivity.

Scarborough pushed back hard. “First of all, it’s not just a name on the rock,” he said. “According to the Washington Post, it’s not just a name on the rock.”

He makes a point that hasn’t really come up so far. “I can tell you this, if my camp that my father and i purchased had that name… we would probably not buy it, and then if we did buy it, we would make sure that the day we bought it the rock were removed, and we would put up a new sign. The fact that that’s what this camp was called until five years ago, that the sign of the entrance of the camp had that, i mean, you just — anybody that would allow that to happen while members of the Texas legislature — just it shows such an extraordinary racial insensitivity that i think it’s disqualifying.”

Setting aside gentle, condescending reminders that this kind of thing is a relic of a different era, it’s an open question as to whether the Perry campaign’s explanations, even taken at face value, really solve this problem for Perry. Those inclined to forgiveness might be satisfied with a quick coat of paint, but many others could reasonably ask what Scarborough points out: why would you rent a camp with the name “Niggerhead” in the first place? Maybe it’s a culture shock issue, maybe the rest of us just don’t understand the navigation of these undetonated racial land mines, but that’s not going to help Perry much.

RELATED – WaPo Report Ties Rick Perry To ‘N*ggerhead’ Hunting Camp That Candidate Has Denounced

Dealing with this story by issuing statements through spokesmen won’t help Perry, either. Granted, this broke over the weekend, but they had a heads up, since Perry himself gave written responses to WaPo. Cain’s denunciation was a game-changer, and Perry, if he is to survive this at all, needs to get out in front of this, and thread the tiniest of needles to try and defuse it.

Ironically, Mika’s contempt for the camp story was driven by a desire to get to a truly unfair attack on Perry, the notion that he wants to “invade Mexico.” Perry has suggested military cooperation with the Mexican government to combat drug violence there, and whether you think that’s a good idea or not, Perry did not suggest “invading Mexico.”

    Rush Limbaugh probably has Paul Shanklin working on a peppy parody song, as we speak, using Steve Earle’s “Copperhead Road” for the tunage, and replacing Copperhead Road with… you know.

    Limbaugh will of course argue, as he did with “Barack the Magic Negro”, that the parody isn’t prejudicial “because somebody else used the word first”.

    “Barack the Magic Negro”, that the parody isn’t prejudicial “because somebody else some white liberal in a liberal newspaper used the word first”.

    FTFY

    So the term itself – and it’s originator – isn’t prejudicial or racist.

    No – Limbaugh, you see, is “racist” and “prejudicial” for noticing that the term was coined by a liberal and for highlighting the lack of outrageous outrage that doesn’t occur when liberals use racist language they accuse others of using.

    Are we now seeing how the Obamacrats’ charges of “racism” flow? One direction – towards political opponents only.

    This article is about Joe’s and Mika’s response to the Perry hunting camp name.  Deflecting adds nothing to this thread. 

    It is shocking that in 2011, this kind of garbage still exists in this country of immigrants.  Perry has long waited for his opportunity to run for president.  Didn’t he or one of his handlers ever think this could come back one day and bite him in the butt? That kind of arrogance doesn’t belong in a primary election, let alone a general election.

    If a rock named N*ggerhead that was painted over in the 1980s is that toxically racist then 
    N*ggerhead Mountain, which had it’s name changed last year, must be worse by an exponential magnitude! Based on this new “Perry Precedent” of racism CA should be re-inhabitable sometime around 2040. That is, if the people who cry racism are happy with just a renaming and do not think the mountain should also be painted over, blown up, or strip mined.

    Also, seeing as how Perry did not own the land where the rock was, but just stayed there on vacations, anyone who has ever visited CA prior to 2010 is just as racist as Perry, and anyone who has ever lived in CA pre- 2010 is much more racist than Perry.

    The amount of racism in CA based on N*ggerhead Mountain really helps us understand why the state votes Democrat so solidly. Those black hating Liberals have been flocking to N*ggerhead Mountain!

    Perry should answer for this when Tawana Sharpton answers for the death/riots of Crown Heights, “Jewish Diamond Merchants” and “White Interlopers”! (Tawana was a Dem candidate remember.)

    So what this shows, is that once again, we see the VILE RACISM OF THE LEFT CELEBRATED; while anachronisms from Perry’s past affiliations are attacked!

    This is part of the 50-year “GOP is Racist” smear conjured by the Democrats and their willing lapdogs in the mainstream media.
    It’s the CANARD responsible for the “brainwashing” Cain was talking about.

    Rush is racist for noticing that Paul Shanklin’s use of the term “magic negro” was directly based on, and in fact explicitly mentions, David Ehrenstein’s use of the term in the LA times. That said, Jon Stewart didn’t even bother with that “fig leaf” so he must be an absolutely vile racist.

    Can it be a smear if it is true? Nixon was elected in 1968 largely on the Southern Strategy, a cynical and vile manifesto to claim the racists as his own. That was 43 years ago.

    As far as Nixon goes and what he did for the black community while in office that too is a matter of record. 

    Between 1969 and 1974, Nixon – who believed that blacks had gotten a raw deal in America and wanted to extend a helping hand:* raised the civil rights enforcement budget 800 percent;* doubled the budget for black colleges;* appointed more blacks to federal posts and high positions
    than any president, including LBJ;* adopted the Philadelphia Plan mandating quotas for blacks
    in unions, and for black scholars in colleges and
    universities;* invented “Black Capitalism” (the Office of Minority Business
    Enterprise), raised U.S. purchases from black businesses
    from $9 million to $153 million, increased small business
    loans to minorities 1,000 percent, increased U.S. deposits
    in minority-owned banks 4,000 percent;* raised the share of Southern schools that were
    desegregated from 10 percent to 70 percent. Wrote the
    U.S. Commission on Civil Rights in 1975, “It has only been
    since 1968 that substantial reduction of racial segregation
    has taken place in the South.”The charge that we built our Republican coalition on race is a lie. Nixon routed the left because it had shown itself incompetent to win or end a war into which it had plunged the United States and too befuddled or cowardly to denounce the rioters burning our cities or the brats rampaging on our campuses.Nixon led America out of a dismal decade and was rewarded with a 49-state landslide. By one estimate, he carried 18 percent of the black vote in 1972 and 25 percent in the South. No Republican has since matched that. To see Kristol colluding with the Times to rewrite that history to make liberals heroes and Republicans villains tells us more about him than about the era.http://buchanan.org/blog/pjb-the-neocons-and-nixons-southern-strategy-512

    I hate to rehash this whole story but you really don’t understand the origin of ‘Barack the Magic Negro’ do you?
    It all began in 2008 with Al Sharpton declaring that Barack Obama would not win the nomination because he was an eloquent, well-educated black who didn’t speak with a ‘negro dialect’ (as Harry Reid described).
    An LA Times writer used the term ‘Barack the Magic Negro’ because he was different than other blacks – as in well educated and not ‘urban.’ 

    But of course just blame Limbaugh since hes a conservative even though the liberals were the ones that brought up Obama’s race in the first place.

    In the early 80′s when Perry started to use the camp it could have been construed as having a racial intent instead of just the name it had been given, and had been known as for years before. The same name is given to rocks and mountains worldwide. Some of the names have been changed in recent years and some of them haven’t.  The bottom line is Perry didn’t name the camp and he painted over the rock. No one has mentioned the rock for 28 years so obviously it didn’t bother anyone until now.

    As someone who worked in the media, I can tell you with conviction that show hosts take and present a position on an issue (whether they believe in that position or not) just to create a controversy and get attention from viewers, listeners, readers, etc. The good ones are convincing despite the fact that they risk alienating the audience they depend on. This is a strategy that should no longer exist, especially in such a volatile, political environment.

    You are absolutely right that liberals have been bringing up race issues, and did so first and often, with regard to Obama, and in general. Why not call a spade a spade? Racism is alive and well and needs to be challenged. But Perry is innocent in this case. We will have to hear what Al Sharpton says to know for sure.

    ‘The latest one from 30 years ago?’

    It could’ve happened yesterday. It could’ve happened 10 years ago. It could’ve happened 40 years ago. Unfortunately there’s no disguising the fact that it happened…
    Even Herman Cain looks appropriately embarrassed. How does he try and balance that with continued skepticism that he is nothing more than a Poster Boy for trying to get the African American vote?!? Outside of that, what’s more impressive is your delusion in your choice to point out a time discrepancy rather than the ‘insensitive’ (Herman Cain) and inappropriate racial epithet. According to your reply that’s the bigger misgiving?…Congratulations.Republicans/Tea Party Baggers always complain that they are often deliberately misinterpreted or can’t broaden there base to a wider populous. 

    This delusion is really pathetic when confronted with this example…

    And how is it the Republicans made a fuss over this? If anything Perry or his father recognized the insensitivity of the name and worked at removing it, something the hand-wringers should be applauding. Instead Perry is criticised for not doing enough to eradicate a name they no hand in creating in the first place.

    Well, as I see it Limbaugh is an entertainer who cashes in on stroking the far right and pissing off the far left, his commentary sometimes is worthy of listening to but often is too filled with his own narcissism and over the top interpretations of current events. You seem to have devoted a great deal of time and energy to actually trying to prove his treasonous acts against this country often quoting statements he made just to set people like you off…  Reading your blog it would seem that you actually think that you will someday be successful in having him tried for treason!  Good luck with that!  In the mean time Rush is laughing all the way to the bank.   

    He is an entertainer and although he can at times be somewhat informative on current issues he is just as full of crap as he isn’t, because his commentary is always heavily biased, guess what, the right knows this and can see through it as well as you can.  Most serious people don’t listen to his program and those that do filter his words as they understand who and what he is…  

    Your obsession with Rush I am sure just tickles him to death as you represent a solid part of his audience..  the haters whose buttons he loves to push.

    If Perry is to be condemned then let’s be consistent and condemn everyone everywhere who has ever crossed paths with anything so named like:

    *a former British term for a black iron post for mooring ships, made from an old cannon partially buried muzzle upward, with a slightly oversize black cannonball covering the hole

    *a former sailors’ term for an isolated coral head, notorious as navigation hazards

    *among some American stonemasons, a term for a large smoothly rounded stone

    *a term for a large round rock sticking up from the surface of a logging road, used by loggers and log truck drivers in the Pacific Northwest

    *an old U.S. Navy term for a small winch, a Capstan

    *a coal miner’s term for blackish iron disulfide nodular rock occurring at the top of the coal seams, often visible in coal mine roofs. Because of their density, they can fall from the roofs, injuring or killing the miners below

    *a term for the striking weight on a pile driver

    *a term for a steam manifold, fountain, turret or header on a boiler, particularly that of a locomotive

    “N@ggerhead” is or was a common name for:

    *Carex secta, a tussock grass in New Zealand

    *Echinocactus polycephalus, the n@ggerhead cactus, native to California and Arizona

    *Echinacea, or coneflower, colloquially called “Kansas n@ggerhead” or “wild n@ggerhead”

    *Nasutitermes graveolus, the n@ggerhead termite, native to Australia

    *Rudbeckia hirta, a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae
    hard tussocks in the tundra, esp. in Alaska

    *N@gger Head, an island in North Queensland, Australia

The far right, in America, led by Limbuagh, are attempting to rewrite modern politics, by rewriting America’s founding history. I am chronicling that attempted re-write of history, and there’s no better place to chronical it, than by studying and recording their Pied Piper.

    What I’m saying is they took a sign they did not erect and removed the offensive name, which was placed by other parties, because it was named after the 1,000 acre region in which the camp was located for decades.  For you to attempt to brand Perry as racist for something he was not responsible for, and for which he took action to remove, speaks more about your desire to impugn a character than it does of any guilt on Perry.

Such hypocrisy – Liberals don’t see the irony in the whole thing.
    And even in the present theres no outcry when Janeane Garafalo says Herman Cain is being paid to act like a Republican, essentially b.c he’s not smart enough to think on his own.

  • Anonymous

    Translation: You simply want to hang the racist charge on Perry’s neck, no matter the lack of evidence.

     By your thinking if he turned around and went to another camp you’d be upset because he did not take a stand and cover up the sign’s name.  You have yet to state how his removal of a racist name is somehow racist.  His hunting at that location is irrelevant, it is what his actions were towards the name.  He took steps to eradicate the offensiveness. Attempts to smear him with this is pathetic.

    And yes, Cain is incorrect on the issue as well.  Bear in mind he is in a capaign against Perry, so his reaction is an attempt to score political points as well.

    I would imagine everyone has a problem with the name. However, Perry didn’t name it and his father painted over it after they leased the property. How many elected officials hunted there with Perry? Why didn’t they come out then or now to condemn it? Easy; they didn’t come out then because either they never saw it since it was painted over or it didn’t bother them. They can’t come out now because then it would appear they were not offended by it.

    Because they didn’t OWN THE LAND or NAME THE AREA! D’uh. 

    Do you not understand what a HUNTING LEASE is? 

    I believe the land is part of the land owned by the Lambshead Ranch in Albany, TX. Perry’s dad only LEASED the land during hunting season. 

    How do YOU justify the name “NIggerhead” Lake which is part of the Webb property in Hamilton County, in upstate New York? It was only renamed ONE YEAR AGO.

    Seems to me that the whole state of New York is racist as the day is long if you apply the same principles (or rather, lack thereof) as you are attempting to do regarding Rick Perry.

    So let me get this right…Exgoper is saying that Perry is racist for TAKING It down?
     
    Even if the word on the rock didnt have an original racial intent, it has clear racial connotation. Are you stupid?
     
    Clearly its root word is offensive, and clearly needed to be taken down so as not to offend anyone.
     
    Only an asshole would say that by painting over it, Perry was making “a big fuss.”  A big fuss? how? And to imply that by painting over it, that somehow means your guilty? What would you do then, leave it? LOL That’s ridiculous.
     
    What I find interesting about this story is how Perry’s family did the right thing even though at the time he wasnt in the public eye and no one was looking.
     
    This is a clear case of trying to mold a story to support a preconceived premise- the premise is: Perry is a racist republican! Now lets go find a story to support that premise! Literally, leave no stone unturned!

    The “Ku Klux Klan” name was used by many independent local groups opposing the Civil Rights Movement and desegregation, especially in the 1950s and 1960s. During this period, they often forged alliances with Southern police departments, as in Birmingham, Alabama; or with governor’s offices, as with George Wallace of Alabama.[21] Several members of KKK groups were convicted of murder in the deaths of civil rights workers and children in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham. Today, researchers estimate that there may be approximately 150 Klan chapters with upwards of 5,000 members nationwide.[22]
    Today, a large majority of sources consider the Klan to be a “subversive or terrorist organization”.[22][23][24][25] In 1999, the city council of Charleston, South Carolina passed a resolution declaring the Klan to be a terrorist organization.[26] A similar effort was made in 2004 when a professor at the University of Louisville began a campaign to have the Klan declared a terrorist organization so it could be banned from campus.[27] In April 1997, FBI agents arrested four members of the True Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Dallas for c

    Maybe he should have just call the camp “honkeyhead”….that would have slowed down all the blacks from making a big ta-do out of it.  Seems like anything to make a point about racism.  It’s tiresome.

    My question is “why is it pertinent now if it was painted in the 80′s???

    Good question…get back to me when you have the answer.

    I think blacks would rather have it said outloud.

    Yes!! You are correct. And you know what they really like? I mean really, really, really like? 

    They like to hear you say it smack dab in the middle of Compton. Through a megaphone. While you’re wearing a white pillowcase over your head. Blacks LOVE that shit, man!

    You should try it! I really, really, really recommend it.

    He just happened to be a Senior Adviser to Nixon during his presidency, he just may be a better source on the matter than you are…  but as these assertions are quantified you are welcome to look them up if you do not believe their veracity. Why don’t you take a moment and learn a little about your country’s history instead of trying to parrot for the left.

    Did it ever occur to your or for that matter, many others here that the issue is a rock with the words niggerhead and that is the issue and nothing else?  What the Democrats, liberals did is irrelevant.  No matter how many wrongs, no matter how racists, Dems and Libs are , it doesn’t negate the fact that Perry and his father was linked to a site with an extremely insulting, racist name.   And no I am not denying any past wrongs of the Democratic party. One of the tenets of liberalism is equality for everyone, regardless of race, creed, whatever.   I too remember the horrible Crown Heights incident. Where an innocent Jewish man who just happened to be a bystander was murdered by some Bed Sty thugs.  I wonder if Al Sharpton ever said he was sorry to the man’s family?

    C’mon, TD, as in the case of Solyndra… “There is no there, there!” And Perry was, at the time, A DEMOCRAT!

    To remind you…”Barack the Magic Negro” is a song by American political satirist Paul Shanklin who wrote and recorded it for the Rush Limbaugh Show as satire after it was first applied to presidential candidate Obama by movie and culture critic, David Ehrenstein, in a Los Angeles Times op ed column of March 19, 2007.

    Ehrenstein was born in New York City. His father was a secular Jew with Polish ancestors, and his mother was of African American and Irish descent.

    Your prejudice is based on ignorance. Try listening to Limbaugh, who has made this point countless times, instead of parroting liberal talking points. Maybe then your lack of ignorance will erase your prejudicial views.

    As you keep drowning your depends about something you know nothing about.

    Shanklin did the parody. Limbaugh plays the parody. The black Ehrenstein wrote the lyrics. Sharpton has the bullhorn. You are brain dead. Liberals empty their colons every chance they get to use the race card. You prove the rule.

    “America’s chickens, are coming home to roost” because “they have never been MORE proud of America since” the TEA Party stood up for America in getting rid of Moochelle’s husband!

    Help a chicken save its American roost. Vote TEA Party conservative!

    Holy Muhammad! Who can believe anything these ”urinalist” say? They have their orders from comrade Obammy and his brown shirts. They call Gov Perry a stupid liar who’s bad
    and dangerous for America. Mark my words, he’ll take us straight back to
    the decade of greed and big hair and ABC Novels for Television. I
    predict a reboot of Dallas that shows J.R. and Bobby et al as
    beer-swilling, oil-guzzling teenagers in a big pickup truck terrorizing
    black folks. Just like Rick Perry and George W. Bush did

    The Left can do nothing better than come up with something so old and stupid and irrevelent, but they try their best to blow it all out of proportion, as is their way to do things.  How immature!  It was fine that Clinton was getting Blowjobs in the Oval Office, but because Perry’s Father bought a place, years ago, that had an unacceptable name, they want to make a big deal out of it!  It isn’t going to work and it shows how desperate the Left is getting!  Come up with something current, something that Perry, himself, actlually did wrong or racist, instead of digging in the outhouse for old Feces!  Obambi will withdraw before the election, he is a coward and cannot stand to lose, which will happen, if he runs.  His Narcisist Personality won’t accept defeat, which he knows will happen, and, just as the coward blames others for his mistakes, he will find a way out of defeat also.  That is the way Cowards do things!
