447. I didn't see this thread...and I'm glad I didn't, because I was sauced

Sun Feb 2, 2014, 11:54 AM

Feb 2014

enough Friday night that I would have racked up a few hides.

Let's call this what it is, though....taking a break from crop circles, the OP has decided to undertake a studied critique of the President's SOTU. His primary source for this critique is a man who wrote that President Obama danced like Mr. Bojangles to get around the issues at hand.

Now, if a DUer wrote that, I would ask Skinner to ban them.

But, apparently, the OP thinks this is a fit source to critique the President. Why this source is fit to post, although they are undeniable racist, bitter, and disgusting is an inquiry worth pursuing. I find it paternalistic, racist, and offensive.

Glen Ford's obscene, and utterly racist tirade against the President, ("He is a knife in our hearts&quot available in full, at the link given above, should give the OP considerable pause. He should apologize.
