Old racist joke proves Wilson's racism.
Let me take this old racist joke from the fifties and try to update it to someone we are "allowed" to hate and see what happens.

A guy comes up on the scene of a horrible accident in Afghanistan. Two trucks are mangled and by the road there is a platoon of soldiers and eight fresh mounds of dirt.

The guy says to the platoon leader, "My God, what happened here".

"Traffic accident, these two trucks full of Taliban hit head on. We buried them over there."

"Mercy, everyone was killed?"

"Well a few of them said they weren't dead, but you know how those Talibs lie."

It's hardly even funny that way. But change the victims to "N*gg*rs" and everyone gets the joke. Because all "N*gg*rs" lie. Everyone knows that. It's part of the racist culture in this country.

Wilson knew exactly what he was saying when he shouted "You lie" at the President. And he and his minions will continue to say it.

4. No. Your humor is working fine.
Racist jokes aren't funny, no matter how hard they try to make them funny.

2. When it's Taliban it is a happy story.
I take your point though, as someone has already written the implied part was "boy." "You lie, boy."

6. MoDowd hit the nail on the head today
She said the only thing that was missing from Grand Wizard Wilson's outburst was the "boy" at the end

Adding additional insult by calling Pres. Obama "boy" a term used during slavery

7. Did he actually say 'boy' or did he stop himself before he did that?

9. He didn't. When MoDo wrote it was implied,
I as a white Southernor had to agree. He is a racist prick.
