I had never known about the Monkey God remark. He should have been tossed earlier. But lets remember, there were two claimed Tea party entities. Justice was finally served, that's the important thing. But, in ANY party there are definitely racist elements.Williams made the "monkey god" remark months ago during a radio broadcast. He hasn't been hiding his hatred under a bushel. And neither have several Fox tv commentators I could name.
I'm not sure what you would like me to say about Obama's rush to judgment over the Harvard professor incident. At first blush, the facts did seem to be heavily weighted in his favor but the man is our president and should have waited. That could not possibly be clearer now that the Shirley Sherrod incident has occurred. I don't know what to make of it....he doesn't fire any staffer, so presumably he isn't blaming anyone for feeding him bad information. If that is the case, he seems intemperate on certain issues, abuse of power along racial lines I suppose.
It makes me very nervous that a man in the white house has impulse issues. Is that a severe enough criticism to suit? (BTW, this is not my most serious criticism of Obama. ATM, I'd like to know how in the hell 90,000 pages of classified documents migrated onto the 'net via Pakistan.)
Is it okay for me to find hate-mongers like Williams a blight again, or is there another liberal hair shirt you think I need to wear first?
As far as Obama. I see it as blatant racism on his part regarding the professor incident. He had no facts, and jumped to the professors defense. No beer summit can ever erase that.
Now, we agree on the jumping the gun aspect on both instances. So, lib's and con's can agree on certain things. At least the non-fringers can. That is a very good thing!
