<!-- google_ad_section_start -->Palin Supporter Calls African American Sound Man An "Uppity Negro"
By Greg Sargent - October 7, 2008, 4:00PM

As I noted below, in his piece today about the abuse that Palin supporters heaped on reporters at a Florida rally yesterday, WaPo's Dana Milbank wrote that one supporter had hurled an unspecified racial epithet at an African American sound man before saying, "sit down, boy."

A reporter who was there tells me what that unspecified epithet was: "Uppity negro."

So, what's the problem?? Rev. Wright can speak anti white rhetoric, and Obama can sit in that church for 20 years,listening to that shit. I have no problem with the uppity negro comment.

of course you don't.

where is the relevance between a sound man working the rally and obama again?

:think2:

GTC...you are wrong here. Again.

No big deal, negro is the word Websters uses to describe blacks.

Not demeaning in any way.

But of course, trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill again.

Simple scare tactic.

What difference does it make anyway? Is Palin responsible for everyone who comes to see her?

I betcha there are some real gems in Obama's crowds.

 

[koidog]

How stupid. Really can we stop posting stupid crap that we find on obscure websites, from party's that heard from another party?

 

[C-Gold]

The Liberal media at it again. Trying to make an issue... what is the issue????

A white person offended a black person with a comment.

There you go conservatives, get on the offensive... you are in bed with a pretty dumb and ignorant crowd that uses language that can be deemed racist... Palin supporters are racist.... yet another reason to not vote for mccain.

 

[C-Gold]

Where is the news story with the Obama supporter saying, " I AM NOT VOTING FOR A WHITE GUY".?

 

[Romanowski]
