Who will be first to come out and call the president the N-word?

[Newsjock]

Perhaps it will happen accidentally, perhaps it will happen in the heat of televised argument, perhaps it will be a carefully orchestrated moment designed for maximum ratings impact among the terminally stupid. Which of the many "luminaries" of the Republican Party will be the first to be captured on audio or video referring to Barack Obama as a ... well ... you know ... the word they really want to say?

Only 10 choices? I can think of so many more!

[rucky]

1. Thanks for adding Michael Steele

for bonus irony.

[Newsjock]

16. Ironic, but ...

I could almost make an argument that if it were going to happen in an orchestrated manner, Steele would be the one GOP figure who just could possibly get away with it.

[Sebastian Doyle]

2. The Savage Weiner

Or maybe Imus, now that he's back on TV again (though on a channel that nobody watches)

[NYC_SKP]

4. yeah, I can picture that...

He'd do it.

[subcomhd]

3. Someone like that Levine dude. Mark? Mike? nt

[baldguy]

5. Limbaugh - but he'll claim he wasn't being racist.

[msongs]

6. til dems fight back this crap will continue. repubs know a punching bag when they see it nt

7. Any radio or television personality who uttered that word on air would immediately end their career

if they called The President of the United States a nigger.

An elected official though, would either have to resign, or explain it away to the extent they could be re-elected when their term is up.

Here are a couple of cool quotes for you, from a United States Senator who was once known as "Exalted Cyclops" and "Kleagle":

"I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

The same Senator told an interviewer he would encourage young people to become involved in politics, but to "Be sure you avoid the Ku Klux Klan. Don't get that albatross around your neck. Once you've made that mistake, you inhibit your operations in the political arena." Not exactly a refutation, if you ask me.

I bet he's already said it behind closed doors.

14. I'm almost afraid to ask this, but which

senator was that?

[Leftist Agitator]

22. One of my Senators from WV...

Robert C. Byrd.

Doctorate or Masters, liberalhistorian?

I just finished my Masters in May, and I'm having a hell of a time finding work.

[liberalhistorian]

26. Actually, neither; I just have a BA in history.

I'm thinking about law school (I've been a paralegal forever) or graduate school in English or social work. I'm sorry you're having a hard time finding work, but I'm really not surprised. Have you tried looking in the western states? Our unemployment is much lower and it seems like colleges are always looking for people.

[demmiblue]

8. Other: they will just let their listeners do it.

[Onceuponalife]

9. Michael Richards

[Swamp Rat]

10. They already did.

[BeHereNow]

11. You left out Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter!

Not to mention Daniel Pipes, James Dobson and
Dick Cheney.

BHN

[Sebastian Doyle]

21. Pipes would never call him a ni**er

He'd just call him "anti semitic" like he does anybody who disagrees with him.

[brettdale]

12. it will be a mistake

By someone for Faux news, they will think they are off air, Im very surprised someone hasn't leaked footage from Faux news journos beforehand. (apart from the inside edition tape)

[titoresque]

13. OTHER

most on this list have probably already said it off air. Someones going to get it on tape sooner or later.

[Rocky Sullivan]

15. This poll's offensive n/t

[Matariki]

23. Indeed.

as the kids all say - 1+

[Fuzz]

17. G. Gordon Liddy

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

18. I'm sure many of them use the word in private on a regular basis to describe Obama

The prominent ones I think are too smart to use it on the air and too concerned with seeing their money continue to roll in. What appear to be their out-of-control rants are staged to seem that way to whip up their ratings among the moronic segment of the population. If Limbaugh has taken one too many oxycontins on a certain day, however, I might expect it to be coming from him.

[Toucano]

19. Mr. Go-Fuck-Yourself, Dick Cheney. n-t

[AuntPatsy]

20. Your kidding right? I have heard it many times...I have a feeling my husband would do it...

but omg..you guys would skewer him alive with the redneck texas bashing way of labeling all "Morans" and honestly..he is just a product of his upbringing..sometimes its hard to change fully and inside I know him for the softy he really is just somedays he tends not to possess that softness...

Omg...we were in a restaurant not to long ago..the waitress was black..


And he did it.. he said the word when I mentioned the president ....and I was so embarressed..he just kept getting louder when I attempted to scold him so I hushed up..what..what did I say wrong..its the truth..omg.was his rejoineder..

That poor girl...she just carried on as if nothing was said and served us very well, I made him at least leave her a ten dollar tip for a twenty dollar meal..

this in east texas..ouch...almost as if she was used to such..broke my heart..jumped on him when we got back to the room....but little good, in my mind the damage was done..that was one of those times where I thought to myself..what the hell are you doing with him.


I can't explain it...he has done many many good things for people in less circumstances many times through the years...I just think when he has a bad day at work or such he tends to just let his mouth overide his good sense..

[maglatinavi]

24. kidding???

Ia he a moron or what? I would have reprimanded him right then and there and made him apologoze... east Texas? What about ALL TEXAS??? And now with its governor talking about secession ... May we be protected by all the powers in the spiritual universe!!!:banghead:

[KillCapitalism]

25. Glenn Beck

Everytime you see him talk about Obama, you know the n-bomb is on the tip of his tongue. One day he'll let it slip by accident.
