Crazy black person.

[kwassa]

I don't have the words.

The man carrying the assault rifle outside outside the Obama speech in Phoenix was black.

Check out the picture on the page.

Broughton said the rifle he brought to the Phoenix rally, a loaded AR-15, is a symbol of resistance, the modern-day equivalent of a pitchfork that citizens once took up in opposition to oppressive political leaders.

....................

Although he is African-American, Broughton said race is not a factor in his beliefs. He said during the rally several people told him that he should be supporting Obama because he is Black. He called the idea preposterous. “I am an American. The color of my skin shouldn't even matter.”

Broughton said he belongs to several groups that have anti-government leanings. While critics warn that many anti-government groups involve individuals tied to White supremacist activities, Broughton said he has never felt unwelcome or isolated over race.

1. He sounds like a lost fool. He'll be the first one that gets shot

down walking around with his gun. See if his skin color matters then...damn fool.

On Edit:

I read the article and still don't understand the protest or point of bringing the gun? What has been taken away from him?

Uugh...no words

7. The term useful idiot comes to mind

You know the white gun nutters are just salivating at being able to show a black guy as to more easily disguise their obvious racism.

2. Legislators in DC are trying to put a ban on this idiocy

This needs to stop YESTERDAY. And like firedup said, dumb @sses with melanin like this fool listening to Hannity and getting all riled up over nothing will be the FIRST ones going to jail.

Broughton said he belongs to several groups that have anti-government leanings.

Oh, I'm sure that they just LOOOOVE when he shows up at the meetings! I'm sure his picture is front and center on the damn brochure! :eyes: Why does that Dave Chappelle character come to mind right now?? The blind black guy that was in the damn Klan??

3. That is exactly who this fool is.

I'm glad legislators are trying to stop it. I need to read that thread. It's hurts me to my heart when I see this stuff on tv. Disgusting. They trotted this fool out to fit their agenda, and he took a dive right in. Dumbass

[Number23]

4. I rec'd the thread but you know. With the five different types of crazy that make up DU

somehow it's back to 0 recs.

[firedupdem]

5. Not surprising....

Lot's of Obama haters here. I would have thought bringing guns near the president was wrong even when bush was in office. Obama doesn't get even that much respect in this country. And people wonder why we aren't flag waving patriotic americans. :eyes:

8. You said it, firedup! On point! n/t

13. Thank you.

6. One of the men holding guns was black.

They had some white guys out there but of course the MSM focuses on the useful idiot.

Thom Hartmann had discussed on his show this black preacher preaching about how white people won't be able to take it anymore and he doesn't blame them. It's been all over the white supremacist sites.

[firedupdem]

9. Yup....

I remember during the election some black preacher did a sermon on "Obama's Mama" that delighted the ignorant.

11. The media is good for that.

When I read this last week I couldn't help but think it would be national news if it was a rap concert-

Police arrest hundreds at country music festival in Foxborough

The focus on this one man conveniently changes the face of the issue.

[firedupdem]

12. LOL!!

If it had been a rap concert, r&b, anything black..the arrest footage would be looped on every major news station. You got that right!

[jmm]

10. It's easy for him to say

he has never felt unwelcome in those groups when I'm sure he's the token guy some trot out when saying we can't be racist because...some of our best friends are... Of course that doesn't mean he'd ever be welcomed as openly in these organizations as those with clear ties to white supremacist activities.

[AspenRose]

14. Crazy *bought off* black person is more like it.

[cyndensco]

15. I saw glenn beck talking about how the MSM is making it look like they are the crazies.

He went on to say the Obama/Joker poster maker was a Kucinich supporter. And, of course, he mentioned that the gun toters at the rallies were supposedly right-wingers, but the one in Arizona WAS AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN MAN!!!

(Ironically, he showed the footage the other channels were supposedly broadcasting: a shot of the black guy's back with the gun hanging over it. He noted the other channels were not letting on the man was actually black. Damn, I didn't see that footage! In fact, let a juvenile be charged with anything, his name will not be released, but a shot of his hands, to leave no question that he is black, will be part of the 6:00 news!):mad:

The black guy (actually both of them) is/are just lost.
