All-time low for the right: Shouting the n-word outside of an elementary school Obama was visiting
Today, President Barack Obama flew into Dobbins Airforce Base near Atlanta to speak at the College Heights Early Learning Center in the relatively sleepy suburb of Decatur, GA.
The school is renowned for it's quality education. While visiting with students, parents, and administrators, Obama gave a speech where he praised the value of early education. This is all common-sense stuff except to those pushing starve-the-beast austerity type measures that hurt the underprivileged and disenfranchised.
The highlight of the trip, though, was the right reaching an all time low... by shouting racial epithets outside of an elementary school!
It's apparent to everyone by now that the so-called Tea Party will protest anything that Obama supports. Education for young child? Protest! So perhaps it wasn't surprising that a sizable crowd formed in protest. The signs featured are the usual hodge-podge of illiteracy and ignorance. However, what happened at the end of the engagement is what should really turn your stomach.
As Obama was prepared to leave, the protesters, riled up by a speaker with a megaphone, began to shout epithets at our Commander-in-Chief.
"You're a (n-word)!" one shouted.
"Go back to Kenya!"
Never mind that there were children there, being exposed to the hate, bigotry and ignorance that the American right has to offer. The administrators scrambled to shoo the children away, though undoubtedly some had heard the hurtful words that they were shouting.
I have a couple of sources at the engagement and I am working to get more information. To my knowledge, no one was arrested, though several people were trespassed off of the property. As I hear from the school coordinator and a friend who attended the event, I will update this diary with more information.

1. If there's no tape, no one will believe it.
And if there is a tape, the baggers will claim it was a liberal plant to make them look bad.
From the place that made agent provocateur the most used phrase on the Internet. ::)

2. I hope that did not happen, but I do not doubt it's true.
Here is a hint,if it is on a commie website it is probably a lie.

15. My experience is: the more exclamation points, the more likely it's fictional.

17. I don't doubt it for a second.
And skeptics don't own stock in the truth. Strafing reports with accusations of lying doesn't make them more perceptive or more right than everyone else.
When I told the story of what a guy who works in a metals machine shop told me about management's attitude towards making items that were geared towards women, I had some asswads jump in to accuse me of lying.
No, just because some people protect their assumptions with cynicism and kill-the-messenger attitudes doesn't mean you should let them have their way.
Who cares if it is a lie if it makes our enemies look bad

What was the point of that, other than to shoot down almost every (D)Ullard bloviation? Congrats, infant.

Here's comment from a KosKiddie:
Um, okay. So ... the detective work isn't that (9+ / 0-)
hard. If you follow the link to the picture, you can read the URL in your browser's Location field. it is this:
www.11alive.com/images/640/360/2/assetpool/photogallery/277644/prezvisit_29.jpg
Which is pretty obviously some sort of TV station website, and which has pretty clearly labeled this as the 29th photo in a series related to the President's visit.
You can then go directly to the main website, www.11alive.com, and follow the links to the original gallery, where you will see the photo captioned thusly:
"People run up Sycamore Street to greet President Obama's motorcade" (Julie Wolfe, 11Alive News)
You can furthermore move back in forth in the gallery and find another photo that shows that the people in the photo are primarily left-wing critics of the President. Which, by the way, is exactly what you'd think just from the way their appearance.
If anything unpleasant did happen, it is not documented in this particular news report.
and another commenter:
I can find no evidence in local or national media, (11+ / 0-)
or in two reports from friends who attended today,
for any negative reaction to the President. Quite
the contrary, all reporting I have found and from my
friends is that the welcome was overwhelmingly friendly.
and
Most of the protesters appear to be dKos (3+ / 0-)
com-symp types, in fact.
These kinds of diaries really give us a bad name.
I was there, and this is a gross misrepresentation (9+ / 0-)
The crowd was upbeat, a great vibe, no evidence whatsoever of baggers or people hurling racial slurs. The only protesters I saw were some amusing folks dressed up in elephant costumes who were there to protest the Ringling Bros./Barnum & Bailey Circus and their treatment of pachyderms.
You'll fall for anything, DUmmies. Even the Kostards are smarter than you.

Like someone said in a thread a few days ago:
If you put a plate of shit in front of a DUmmie and told them it was pizza they would it eat.

26. Decatur is not really sleepy, as ATL suburbs go
for instance, my friend the 3'8" degreed sexologist, who had to go to D.C. to marry her wife, calls it home.

Catwoman posts the exact same thing from kos in this thread. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022382260)
This is going to become just like the spitting incident that never happened. They're going to repeat this often enough and pretend it's true.

The wise man once said:
The correct original quotation is "Remember, DUmmies lie. All the time, DUmmies lie."
The correct current quotation is "Remember, primitives lie. All the time, primitives lie."
Either one is acceptable; one can pick and use.

I thought, according to the left, that the Tea Party had ceased to exist.

Nads, is that you? Should I consult the resume and see if 'sexologist' is on there?
