The lamestream media told you:
Entertainer and Texas gubernatorial hopeful Kinky Friedman is in hot water for using the word "nigger," twice in a comedy routine -- 26 years ago. A recording of the bit was found and posted on Burnt Orange Report, a left-wing website. News reports, afraid of appearing insensitive or worse, and uncomfortable with the American concept of free speech, referred to the remark as the "n-word."
In addition, last year Friedman said he thinks the word Negro sounds "charming." State representative Garnet Coleman, former chairman of the Texas Legislative Black Caucus, has attacked Friedman in the press and suggested he "change his tune or get out of the race," according to Kelley Shannon, reporting for the Associated Press on 9/22/06.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Representatives from the United Negro College Fund have remained surprisingly quiet about this particular White person's "charming" remark.
Observers were surprised that a member of the Texas Legislative Black Caucus, a race-based group, would make insensitive racial comments about a person reported to be White, or mostly White. Reportedly, some members of the Black Caucus are actually mulatto, an issue that cannot be discussed in public.
In an extreme hypocrisy noticed by many but not reported by any lamestream outlet, the cable music channel MTV, watched by millions of music-oriented youth, uses the harsh-sounding racial epithet "nigger" in music, comedy routines and drama, but receives little criticism from people such as those attacking Mr. Friedman.
While Kinky used the word twice in a routine two-and-a-half decades ago, MTV airs the word constantly, daily. Cable TV giants HBO and Showtime also air the word "nigger" in comedy programs all the time, typically by people talking about themselves or their associates.
In other news, the cigar-chomping Friedman says he would, if elected, immediately put 10,000 National Guard troops on the Texas-Mexico border to stop a tidal wave of illegal immigrants from sneaking into the U.S. "We've waited 153 years for the feds to help us, and they haven't yet," he said.
Running as an independent, he has also taken the radical position that Katrina evacuees who break the law or haven't taken jobs should be sent back to Louisiana, a position Louisiana reportedly doesn't like. Republican Governor Perry's spokesman dismissed Friedman's proposals.









FRIEDMAN FOR PRESIDENT!!! Hell if that guy was to become president we would be done with most of our major controverstial issues in probably under a year. If only we had a comedian as president.
