Perry racist? Meh. He WAS a Democrat at the time.

  So the WaPo has an obviously racist and very tiresome smear of Rick Perry and his family today. Just read the first few sentences here:

In the early years of his political career, Rick Perry began hosting fellow lawmakers, friends and supporters at his family’s secluded West Texas hunting camp, a place known by the name painted in block letters across a large, flat rock standing upright at its gated entrance.

“Niggerhead,” it read.

  Yeah.

  So here we go.

  Not content with calling Herman Cain a racist and bigoted, the press and their ilk in the Democrat party have moved on to greener territory.

  Wouldn't ya think these racists would get sick of finding racism on every rock?

  But no.

  Jacobsen draws the contrast between the treatment Obama's racist pastor Wright received as opposed to the treatment Perry is getting.

Our mainstream media is biased beyond comprehension, trying to bury Obama’s 20-year association with his mentor Jeremiah Wright while putting a painted-over rock on page 1.  How many parishioners at Wright’s church did WaPo interview as to Obama’s claim that he never heard Wright’s race-baiting and anti-American speeches, even though they were sold in the lobby?

  Perry issued a statement today:

"Governor Perry and his family never owned, controlled or managed the property referenced in the Washington Post story. The 42,000-acre ranch is owned by the Hendricks Home for Children, a West Texas charity.

"Perry’s father painted over offensive language on a rock soon after leasing the 1,000-acre parcel in the early 1980s. When Governor Perry was party to the hunting lease from 1997 to 2007, the property was described as northern pasture. He has not been to the property since 2006.

  So they all soon get into the act calling the leased land which was named by someone else and then painted over by Perry family "Perry's family's hunting camp has N* Word in name." Look here. 

  It's disappointing that Herman Cain seems to have jumped into the fray:

Fellow Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, who is now neck and neck with Perry, according to a recent Fox News poll, took the opportunity on Sunday to call Perry "insensitive" for his handling of the situation.

"There isn't a more vile, negative word than the 'n word,' and for him to leave it there as long as they did is just plain insensitive to a lot of black people in this country," he said during an interview on "Fox News Sunday."

  Rick Perry has fallen from grace in recent days but he doesn't deserve this bogus charge of something that happened a long time ago.

  Apparently only conservatives are held to that high standard of behavior from 30 years ago. Did the Perry family let the rock sit there until last year?

  No. The family painted it over soon after leasing the property.

  So they DID paint over it but just standing on the land with that rock on it looked really really bad?

  Really?

  So it doesn't count that Robert Byrd was a KKK head honcho?

  It doesn't count that Democrats were the racist party who refused to admit Blacks into society and government?
  It doesn't count that h8tr Fred Phelps of Westboro Baptist Church protester fame was a lifelong Democrat, even running for office as such?

  It doesn't count that Al Gore's father was steeped in racism, voting against the civil rights act of 1964?

  Or more recently, it doesn't count that Democrats are the first to scream racism at every opportunity?

  It doesn't count that Biden referred to Obama as a mainstream, clean, articulate and nice looking African American?

  It doesn't count that Hillary talks in Black English in front of Black crowds and referred to Mahatma Gandhi as a gas station owner?

  Or Biden's admiration that so many 7/11s and Dunkin' Doughnuts are run by people of Indian origin?

  Or Harry Reid's identification of Obama as a light skinned man with no Negro dialect,unless he wanted one?

   I believe I've made my point.

  Except for one more thing.

  Even though the charge of racism against Perry is faux, trumped up and intentionally inflammatory, I guess it wouldn't be that surprising.
  Rick Perry WAS a Democrat at the time they leased that ranch.

  So was his father.
