AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth: "That is not racism" - GOP chair Michael Steele
Maureen Dowd, "Boy, Oh, Boy" (op-ed on Obama and race), NYTimes.com (Sept. 13, 2009)
Jim Clyburn, a Democratic House member from South Carolina, talking about the attacks on Obama: "A lot of these outbursts have to do with delegitimizing him as a president...

GOP Assembly candidate: 'if you want to act like niggers, go back to Paulsboro' | Politicker NJ
From the article: "Republican State Assembly candidate Lee Lucas told neighbors 'if you want to act like niggers, go back to Paulsboro,' according to a 2006 Greenwich Township police report detailing a neighbor dispute.

According to the report, Lucas 'was reminded to act in a mannerly fashion. Mr. Lucas said they called him "googly eyes" and threatened to beat him up. Kyle admitted that they called him "googly eyes" but did not threaten him in any way, and that Mr. Lucas was the aggressor.'" I know it's not actually relevant, but I kind of wonder whether the person he was yelling at was black or not.

The Stranger | Slog | The Teabaggers Are Getting More Attention than They Deserve
The phrases that stuck with me: "fetishization of the rural" and "urban people getting all righteous about their gardens and chickens and compost piles." That's kind of a stupid tack to take.

Add Sticky Note• Fetishization of the rural (trucks and "outsider art," more urban people getting all righteous about their gardens and chickens and compost piles)
- If you care about sustainability, this is pretty insulting. - on 2009-04-20
