Did David McKinley, the Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in West Virginia's 1st District, call the President of the United States a "nigger" at a campaign event?

I have heard from several people that McKinley did. He was on private property at a non-union mine on Aug. 20. The people who heard him say it have not come forward apparently out of fear of losing their jobs. Had this been at a union mine, I suspect the miners would have stepped forward already.

As relayed to me, McKinley was trying to be one of the "guys" when he called the President of the United States a "nigger."

The Commander in Chief of our military as we wage military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, but to McKinley he is a "nigger."

This is not about partisan politics. As readers of this blog know, I have no love for Mike Oliverio, the Democratic candidate for the seat. The last time I wrote about WV-01 was a long post on how incumbent Alan Mollohan believed he was unfairly attacked in the primary. .........(more)

2. Even David fucking Duke had the decency to try to pretend he wasn't a racist.

3. Dr. Laura opened it up for them. This is the second step.

Fos will report that it "is his right" whenever they report on the next person to say it. Rush and the radio will mention it to get the blogs going.

5. How very Republican. n/t

6. Grudging respect to McKinley

At least he spoke his mind, instead of saying the president saying a Kenyan world view, like the fat, adulterous coward who wants to be president
