Republican Strategist Frank Luntz Jokes About Killing Obama At Lincoln Day Dinner Party [View all]

Luntz jabs at Obama during Santorum campaign stop: 'Run, Barack, Run' sticker goes on the front bumper (video)


Republican Party Strategist Frank Luntz speaks at the annual Kent County Republican Party Lincoln Day Dinner Monday at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel.

...............

"I actually have a 'Run, Barack, Run,' bumper-sticker but I put it on the front of my car," he continued.

Luntz then shifted his sights to Clinton.

"Or, that of all the places Hillary Clinton could choose to live, she chose Chappaqua, New York," he said. "Did you know Chappaqua is Indian for 'separate bedrooms?'"

KAPOW! HI-larious. (NOT) Can't you just see the President running from a car? I know Frank Luntz is widely known for not having any appreciation or understanding of the power of words, so it's perfectly logical to assume that the visuals of a white man chasing down our African American President in a car wouldn't bring up any specific memories from our shameful national past.
