Newspaper uses N-word in referring to President
The West View News, a monthly paper in New York's West Village with a circulation of around 20,000 ran an op-ed from author James Lincoln Collier titled "Ni..er in the White House."

Obviously the headline did its job, what did the article say?

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

More commentary on the title (are the Washington Redskins on speed-dial?) than the substance. A pro-Obama article from a self-certified non-wacist.
EXSUM
If you are conservative & hate Obama it's because he's black.
Boy is he late to the party.

I disagree with much of this man's (Obama's) policies but I fail to see any legitimate need to stoop to this type of headline.
This headline is pure BS, an absolute disgrace and is totally uncalled for - the failed policies of this administration stand on their own.
Agree that the headline brought attention.

This guy is way wrong. Nothing to do with skin color, it's about performance.

Can't be racism - I despise his white half too.
When will these progressive apparatchiks realize it's about his politics; that his "race" is totally irrelevant for true conservatives?

No, Mr. Obama, We Don't Like Dislike You because You're Black
Good rebuttal to all those who believe critics of the POTUS are racist:
Quote:
It’s an interesting excuse.
If we disliked him for the color of his skin, that would excuse his failed performance as president. How convenient. That would excuse everything he’s done to damage or destroy American exceptionalism, capitalism, and the U.S. economy.
If this was about race, it would excuse his dismantling of the economy. It would excuse the 92 million working-age Americans not in the workforce.
It would excuse all-time record lows for workforce participation. It would excuse tens of thousands, and in some cases, hundreds of thousands of Americans dropping out of the workforce every month.
It would excuse the fact that only crummy, crappy, low-wage part-time jobs are being created because of Obama’s policies.
If this was about race, it would excuse Obama taking the formerly greatest health care system in the world and plunging it into crisis and confusion.
It would distract us from seeing his failed ObamaCare web site that cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
Or his blatant lies about keeping our health insurance if we like it. Or his lies about the middle class not being taxed to pay for 30 million new patients.
Or his lies about the quality of care remaining the same, even though we’ve added 30 million new patients, with no new doctors.
Or his lies about prices going down, while our rates are going through the roof, and his own IRS predicts health insurance will cost the average family a staggering $20,000 per year by 2016.
If this was about race, it would excuse his lies about wanting to create jobs for middle class Americans while he’s made conscious decisions to hire foreign companies (who rely on cheap foreign labor) to build and fix the defective ObamaCare website.
If this was about race, it would excuse his never ending spending and debt.
Or the damage he’s done to middle class Americans -- the doubling of gas prices, the all-time record highs for electricity, the jobs he’s destroyed by not approving oil drilling, or fracking, or the Keystone Pipeline.
Or using the EPA to try to put coal industry completely out of business.
It would excuse his using the power of the IRS to persecute Tea Party groups and conservative critics (like me), while allowing the IRS to hand out fraudulent tax refunds to illegal immigrants claiming fake dependents not even living in the United States.
It would excuse four dead American heroes in Benghazi, a refusal to send help while they were fighting for their lives, and a blatant cover-up before the election.
No, Mr. Obama, we don’t dislike you because you’re black. But we do despise your policies, your lies, and your destruction of the greatest country, economy and middle class in world history.

...why aren't Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on TV calling this guy out for calling the POTUS a name white people aren't allowed to use?

That was my first thought. Most of the 'headlines' going viral seem to be from sources I never heard of before using inflammatory content in an attempt to get it to go viral. When was the last time Jay-Z saying ni**er went viral?

I think I read on Wikipedia that both blacks and liberals can use the N word without reprisal.

Why do you guys hate Obama so much? What is he doing that Bush hasn't done? The way I see it he is doing the same things.
