Georgia House Republicans?
Black lawmakers pitched a hissy fit and stormed out of the Georgia House on Friday claiming that white Republicans’ decision to delay a resolution honoring President Barack Obama had racist overtones. (Gasp)
They say it’s an intentional snub to the nation’s first black president. “It drips with racism,” Democrat Representative Al Williams said. “I call it just like it is.”
Republicans simply objected to the over-the-top wording that declared Obama to be a man of “unimpeachable reputation for integrity.”
“All we’ve requested is minor changes to the language,” Representative Austin Scott. But Democrats are resisting the revisions.
House Majority Leader Jerry Keen asked to “get this language recrafted.”
“Two or three words can be changed and this matter can be voted on,” another Republican said.
Please. Can’t we all just get along? We’d like to offer our services as peacemakers and wordsmiths in this dispute.
We suggest they simply re-word the resolution to declare that “President Obama is a man with an unimpeachable reputation for integrity except for that Tony Rezko thing and that socialist thing and maybe a few other insignificant items too minor to really get into here.”
That would satisfy everyone, wouldn’t it?

the democrats are basically saying that if we question obama’s integrity we’re racist
oh btw. White Supremist groups were Democrats back then
That Georgia, a racist under ever rock…. and dome!
So it’s okay to bring out the race card whenever its needed, hmm? I’m not white or black, somewhere in between, and I think its stupid that every objectionable Obama clause is classified as being racist. The man has a mischievous past with terrorists and other criminals–its indisputable! I think Obama sucks! Oh noooz, I guess this merits to being labeled a “racist.”
Every supporter of Obama is a racist.
Oh, it’s too minor to mention, but it should be too minor, not to minor.
