Mike Parry, a GOP candidate for the state senate, has apologized for tweets calling President Obama a “Power Hungry Arrogant Black Man” and asking “whats with the Dems and Pedophiles?”
The tweets succeeded in making Parry look like a power hungry ignorant white man. He insists that he takes full responsibility for “all mistakes in my past tweets.”
Parry insists that the racist reference was “written in haste and out of the frustration I felt for the out of control spending in Washington.” In one interview, he insisted that he should be credited for at least using his own name in such attacks, here. He also stated:
“My opinion is that our president is arrogant and angry. The fact is that he is a black man. Now if the Democratic Party and the liberals want to take my opinion and the fact and mix it together and use it to bring a bad light about me and keep them away from discussing the real issues they can do that all they want. They’re grasping for straws.”
Well, I am not sure how much mixing it takes, Mr. Parry.
Here is Parry’s website and bio.
Oh Harry you sound like a Teabagger, a angry white guy.
Reid apologizes for ‘no Negro dialect’ comment
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada described in private then-Sen. Barack Obama as “light skinned” and “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.” Obama is the nation’s first African-American president.
“I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words. I sincerely apologize for offending any and all Americans, especially African-Americans for my improper comments,” Reid said in a statement released after the excerpts were first reported on the Web site of The Atlantic.

“By limiting a free exchange of ideas, a disservice was done to the republic, what you are seeing is a reaction to that disservice.”
I do think it should matter whether an “idea” is backed by factually demonstratable lies. Not every issue has “both sides” to argue with neither side being ridiculous either at the start or becoming ridiculous or disingenuous as time develops and factual evidence accumulates against it. A “free exchange of ideas” doesn’t accomplish its goals when it gets polluted by mandatory nonsense in the name of “balance”.

“Now, whenever crap about things like “death panels” isn’t mentioned faithfully in the news, that’s what’s referred to by conservatives as “politically correct”.
Not quite the same thing anymore.”
Free speech should never be limited and neither should an open and free exchange of ideas. What happens is exactly what happened according to you. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
By limiting a free exchange of ideas, a disservice was done to the republic, what you are seeing is a reaction to that disservice.

“Byron basketball football baseball but not hockey or swimming. We don’t like being on ice or in the water.”
Thank god for that, at least white people have a couple of sports left. Tiger took over golf and the Williams sisters took over tennis. I think the second biggest money maker on the Pro Bass Tour is a black guy as well.
Once you start skating, white guys will be left playing pick up games on the ponds that are freezing over and staying frozen for much longer periods.
And if they ever have Olympic size swimming pools in black neighborhoods Mark Spitz and Michael Phelps will be history as well. Hopefully the pools will be indoors and heated so they dont freeze over.
Buddha,
CIP, is that when they are in session or not? Does it make a difference? Nah…
Narcissistic megalomaniacs in office.
That’s the issue.
And what they are doing to distract people from a crime in progress.
“as a conservative I think politically correct is used to keep conservative opinions out of the public discourse. And that liberals use it as a club to limit free speech. It is used on college campuses to stifle conservative students and god forbid a conservative speaks his/her mind in the press.”
Well, that may have been true in the nineties.
Now, whenever crap about things like “death panels” isn’t mentioned faithfully in the news, that’s what’s referred to by conservatives as “politically correct”.
Not quite the same thing anymore.
Yeah, see, I can flood too.
But I don’t know how the game is played. Not at all, bdaexposed.
Not a bit.
But I sure exposed yours.
Your little green face has lit up the comment board. Had you posted a couple more you would have dominated it across the board. Whew who!!! go Buddah go.
Wow, did I touch a nerve Mr. Expert
Black Hockey Players, the most famous is Grant Fuhr
thanks Ay you are helping me out, appreciate that
You want to talk power mad?
We can talk power mad.
But race?
It’s a glamour. A sparkly designed to distract from the real issues.
Like megalomania in the political class.
Megalomania on display from both parties and all races within those parties.
You know, money, that thing the modern GOP and DNC worship like a God.
POWER
MAD
The only color important to that is green.
Race is the distraction.
Always has been. Always will be as long as propagandists keep the division of humanity alive.
The way to beat them is unification. One with no color or creed to strong as to keep us pinned beneath it. True Americans like our Jefferson envisioned.
Free men (and women of course).
The topic here is POWER MAD.
But the topic here is fascism and the rise of private armies like Xe, armies with all the accountability of a corporation.
It’s no wonder the troll wants to change the topic to race.
His maters called and told him to try to obfuscate their pissing on the Constitution so citizens won’t come put their venal heads on pointy sticks.
Citizens United v. FEC.
The death knell of our democratic representative republic.
Can you hear me now?
Of course you can, America.
Because words have power . . . and not all of you are as stupid as the corporatists and pols think you are. That is in the end their undoing.
Are you a Henning per chance?
Blacks don’t like water.
You could just cut to the chase and call them unclean. How about those watermelons and fried chicken, sport? Social darwinism and blacks are afraid of the water. You are just hitting them right out of the park . . . and into your own windshield.
For a “black man”, which you aren’t, you certainly do like to re-enforce those stereotypes, bdatroll.
Tell us now about how they are good athletes because they have “their heads right”. After all, a slave’s got to have his head right to be working for da man, bdaman. Got to know his place. And it’s on the (cotton) ball field according to you.
You really have no idea how transparent you actually are. Again, the source of much humor.
