Cowards!

[Warren Dew]

Does anybody have an opinion on whether or not it's bigotry to assume that NASCAR fans are uneducated and low-class racists who hate Michelle Obama because she's black?

Of course it would be bigoted. I question whether anyone actually believes that, though. Does anyone think that, if Herman Cain showed up at a NASCAR race he'd be booed instead of cheered? I think not.

It's just standard progressive Democrat racism. Blacks can do no wrong as long as they stay on the Democratic liberal plantation, so criticism of them must be racist - but as soon as they stray into conservative viewpoints, then it's open season. Can't let those welfare slaves escape into freedom and liberty, you know.

Unfortunately, that's not what happened. They were judged based on what they did: boo the First Lady and her children.

But keep lying. It's amusing to watch.

Since my next sentence said what you said in this case, I guess that means you're amused at your own lying, eh, Schneibster?

If you hadn't started with a lie I might have bothered to read further.

NASCAR comes from good ole' boys runnin' their moonshine smuggling cars on dirt race tracks for bragging rights. You don't have to be stupid to watch this "sport", but it sure helps.

Whatever their "reason", booing at children is deplorable behaviour.

At a sport where displays of the Confederate battle flag is more numerous than those of any other flag, deplorable behavior is not a surprise.

The comments about Michelle Obama being out of line because she's unelected make no sense to me at all. I'm not American but even I know that it's become part of the role of the U.S. "First Lady" to champion a cause.

So you'd be happy with Prince Charles imposing his tastes in architecture on Canada?

Prince Charles? That's a bit of an odd question, but I'll run with it. If for some reason Prince Charles ends up marrying the prime minister of Canada, I wouldn't be happy about him "imposing" his tastes in architecture on Canada, but I wouldn't be offended if he took up some sort of architectural cause any more than I'm offended by Laureen Harper (the current prime minister's spouse) being a patron of the Humane Society.

Laureen Harper and Prince Charles are easily confused.

What about Laura Bush, Warren...the gall of her, supporting that people be literate! (though I wish she would have extended that to her immediate family )

So is trotting your children out in front of you in the hopes that nobody will express any negativity towards you.

Or taking them to a sport event so they can fun. Absolutely deplorable.

If that isn't enough of a clue then white pointed hoods wouldn't be one either.

Yes, it had nothing to do with a parent wanting to bring their two children to see the car races.

And, why would they worry about any negativity from the crowd...Isn't Nascar supposed to be entertainment? Family friendly? Since when has it become political?

Truth. While not everybody who flies the Stars and Bars is a racist redneck that's the best way to bet.

I watched people make crazy irresponsible accusations about a traffic accident she had before she got engaged with W. I never paid any attention to it and considered it despicable.

Just as despicable as dissing Teddy Kennedy after he died, which I watched some other irresponsible people do.

God fucking damn am I tired of cranks.

Accusing a woman who's taking care of her children of "trotting them out" is despicable.
