Discussion: Neb. Guv Condemns School Board Member's Blog Calling Obama A 'Half-Breed'

Ah yes, the Ron Paul defense: “I didn’t write that, I just stuck my name on it!”

I note that McPherson has deleted the posts and promises to monitor them more carefully in the future. But there was no mention of trying to find out who wrote these offensive posts to punish them. Let bygones be bygones I guess. Meh.

You can rest assured someone, somewhere is doing a full house press on McPherson’s background! Maybe we have another ‘Steve Scalise’ character hiding in full sight, in Nebraska!

When is the Republican Party going to figure out that the reason there are so many proud racists among their ranks is because their policies are inherently racist? When are they going to figure out that all the dog whistling is attracting a special breed of racist dogs that will more than likely keep them out of the WH in 2016 and beyond?

Wouldn’t it be better to just let these guys say what they really think? Then at least we know what we’re dealing with.

“Here’s a picture of McPherson, sure looks like a white supremacist to me!” Wow, he looks like John Bolton’s evil brother. Well, they’re both evil, but this guy definitely looks douchey.

Never, hopefully.

Again with marrying dogs? I realize that Republicans would like to have the state control all aspects of our personal lives, but doesn’t informed consent ever enter the conversation for those people?

No, that’s why the whole rape thing gives them so much trouble.

He wrote them. The World-Herald link has a series of screen captures thumb nailed, and there’s an image from an entry from February that’s formatted as an article and Titled “We Agree: The President is no SubHuman Mongrel”. The body continues “We think Ted Nugent is cool, but we would never think of calling a half-breed a sub-human mongrel…"

A submission from someone else would at the least have to have been formatted, but the notion that some unknown commenter is submitting comments that are formatted as articles, carry a theme (Obama as half-breed) over a period of at least 10 months, and use the editorial ‘We’ doesn’t pass the straight-face test.

Not that his half-breed comments stand out really, in terms of offensiveness, from the rest of the stuff visible in the cached posts in the World-Herald article and those available on the Way Back Machine.

he is deserving of the same civility and respect we give one another

How about “deserving of the same civility and respect we would accord any U.S. president”? Imagine if someone had made an equally derogatory remark about G. W. Bush, or had dared call him a liar during a congressional address. The GOP would be in full Piss and Moan mode and the miscreant would find himself in Gitmo before the echo faded.

I applaud Mr. Ricketts, but Gov. Apostate has no future in today’s Republican Party

They have to have something to bitch about.

Has as much validity as “I am not a crook” did 42 years ago. (Geez, 42 years? I am seriously old.)

A bottom in a cheap suit.

McPherson is also the former chairman of the Douglas County, Neb., Republican Party and is currently a gelatinous chunk of doody with legs.

Race problem? What race problem?

I sincerely apologize for getting caught, but not for what I said. Typical republikkkan

I am deeply offended by the continued disrespect shown this wonderful human being who occupies the White House. I thank the Governor of Nebraska for showing respect but I must say, I would like to decapitate most of these mother fuckers

It literally breaks my heart to think that these horrible things even pass the President’s desk. There has been no better human being to occupy this white house since Jimmy Carter. I take personal offense at every insult that this put forth against this President. I hate these mutha fuckas. Every single last one of them but I applaud the Governor of Nebraska for showing some class.

Fortunately for Mr McPherson, only complete morons would believe he didn’t know what was being posted on his blog, IF they can be so divorced from reality that any would accept he wasn’t the culprit.
