Repub candidate Rick Goddard calls MSNBC's Ron Allen "Uppity"

[RamboLiberal]

For that very morning, hours before Westmoreland made his gaffe in Washington, 8th District congressional candidate Rick Goddard of Houston County, the Republican challenger to U.S. Rep. Jim Marshall, used the same phraseology over the radio. Just not about Obama.

It was on the “Kenny B. and Charles E. Show” down in Macon, a strange hybrid of a morning news show that was only on its third broadcast. The program can be found on the Macon Telegraph web site, on 100.9 FM, and — for an hour each morning — on WPGA-TV. All at the same time.

Goddard was just back from the Republican National Convention in St. Paul.

This is the sound clip sent to us by the Telegraph. Here’s what Goddard said:

“I’ll tell you one thing, I think we’re going to have a very, very strong, capable president in John McCain. Last night, Newt Gingrich disarmed a very uppity newscaster who tried to question him on the capabilities and leadership of Governor Palin. There’s simply no comparison between a governor and a community organizer….”

Now, you could say that Goddard was referring to media elitism, a topic that was all the rage up in St. Paul last week. Then again, you could also say that Ron Allen, the MSNBC reporter in question, is African-American. See the clip in question below.

Geez they don't even disguise their racism any more!

1. Yeah, there's no ambiguity about "uppity."

I've never heard it in my life when it wasn't followed by the 'n' word.

2. "......no comparison between a community organizer and a governor...."

Well, especially not when they community organizer is a 23-yr-old fresh out of college and the governor is a 44-yr-old 20 years out of college.

These morans need to A) be called out on their blatant racism and
B) learn about timelines and dates and ages and such.

3. Well, if there was a price to be paid for racism

But isn't it . . . interesting that the only folks called "uppity" just happen to be black? I'm sure it's just coincidence.

4. "Uppity Negro Alert!"

Remember what Public Enemy sang about back in the 80s? Of course you do. It's still around. Damn.
