I'm disgusted. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

I want to tell people like that "just keep it up".

Not only do you energize Obama supporters with crap like that, you're not addressing the issues of why you lost. You're just pouting and whining and acting like infants.

...I still don’t get it though. If Obama has a black father and white mother isn’t he every bit as much white as he is black?

Still? At the risk of getting down to this moran's level, did he ever bring up this supposed confusion of his before the election?

It's no different than the nonsense about Palin, especially that Beverly Hillbillies foolishness. Neither one amounts to much but it is interesting to see the outrage over the Messiah and not a word over the stereotypes of East Tennessee. After all, the Beverly Hillbillies are about East Tennessee and nowhere else but Cali.

OMG, I see that Mike Pirtle is the publisher of this newspapaper. I went to high school with Mike, who edited our school paper. In fact, I went out with him a few times and pined for him for quite a while after he dumped me for a senior.

I can't believe his paper is printing this tripe.

The paper has updated the column online with a long, drawn out apology:

Yet they leave the column up there, don't say that they will no longer run columns by the guy, and don't explain what kind of brain-dead editors allowed it to be published in the first place or why they haven't been fired.

But they note it's a progressive community, despite what you might think.

More newspaper weirdness: burying the lede.

I'd rather be cycling.

Last week on more than one occasion I heard conservatives joke that the theme from Good Times is the new national anthem. Whether this dude was the first to go to the trouble of rewriting the song, I don't know, but the concept was not his. If he passed off someone else's rewrite as his own, that's the kind of thing that could get him canned. Otherwise, it's just lame humor aimed at an audience that barely overlaps with this community.

Conservatives have been living in isolation from reality for years and just got jolted awake. Let them whimper a bit and wander the street in their bed clothes for a while; hopefully they'll have it worked out by Inauguration Day. They've got a lot more reality to confront than just having a black President.

Look at poor ol' Joe the Sociologist, he's got nothing left but the worn-out Messiah meme and fading hopes that Sarah Palin might wink at him again some day. It's too pathetic to be upsetting.

Delete the offensive post. They didn't, so...

Oh please, people! Stop being HYPOCRITES! Why don't y'all just agree to censoring everything that you find to sound *mean* 'cause that's where you're headed with your polically correct mindset.Grow up!
