You are a career politician. You know better than to have a sign with the N word on your property. Why didn't you take a jackhammer to it when you first got the camp? Come on we are going TK be arguing about when a coat of paint was applied and whether it was sufficient. Decent people do not leave such things on their property. |
He's disgusting. |
It's Texas. How do you think he was elected. |
Link, please? No idea what OP is talking about. |

So what? He knew he wasnt getting the African American vote and in some circles this may even help him. Im sure lots of teapartiers have a new respect for him |
Here is his campaign's response to the Post story: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1011/64911.html |
I dont care, I'm not going to vote for him if he makes it to the general election, this just makes me dislike him more. |
Keep slinging mud Washinton Post... you'll nail those racist, homophobe Republicans and Tea Party rednecks for sure...
|
Mudslinging? The guy brought it on himself. A career politician should not have that thing lying around for anyone to see. His own damn fault. |
The Perry campaign claims the sign had been painted over in the early 1980s soon after Perry’s father, Ray, leased the rights to the property. The Washington Post story, however, included many eyewitness accounts of the rock with the offensive name having been visible in recent years. Also, the black name was painted over in white on the rock, through which it was recently still visible. What not get rid of a rock with such insensitive fare???
Any ione who does not think this story is disgusting and insensitive in the EXTREME is a total ass. Frankly, any one with any commen decency or sense would have REFUSED TO LEASE this property althogther from a organization, charity or not, that allowed such a name to exist for it. Parry's family money was paying money to a racist organization to use their land. I am totally appalled that this guy is actually running for president!!! |
Anyone to see, really, Where are some photos of this rock? Washington Post?, anyone? |
Would a photo tell you when it was painted over? |
It would certainly add a shred of credibility to all the lame charges being slung around here with anonymous sources and puffed up finger pointing... |
What a great piece of investigative work. All those anonymous sources make it true doesn't it?
It looks like blacks won't vote for him except Cain. I am sure they were really concerned about losing that vote. |
