Black professor Henry Louis Gates Jr was arrested trying to break into his own home when locked out, in a story that is packed with racial tension. Obama was asked about the story in a press conference and gave his thoughts, which has enraged the old angry white conservatives from thefoxnation.com, who took a break from making racist comments to make racist comments specifically about this issue! And here they are!

LOL, cuz he’s black, right?
Keep telling yourself that…

Obama spends all day lynching whitey
MawMaw1 is one of those conservatives who has all these conservative black friends that aren’t really conservatives but just learned to shut up about things around MawMaw1 because he is loudmouth and annoying
Yes, Iran has everything to do with a black professor getting arrested at his own house.

Hey, it’s Buckwheat! Buckwheat! Look at that Buckwheat! Why do black people hate me?
Obama burned a cross in this lady’s yard.
Jenna is totally concerned about the Black youth of America
Obama should totally listen to this nutjob!
Obama wants riots. Right after he shirtlessly burns a cross and is uppity.
Thank you, thefoxnation.com, for showing us why it will be a better world when all your commenters fall into a volcano. An uppity negro volcano.
Resistnet.com is making so much dirty laundry they have unbalanced the washing machine and it is now rampaging throughout the basement destroying everything in its path. A veritable orgy of tinpot moderators have decided to go ban crazy and even cause drama with paranoid militia groups. All in all, they stick by dale henderson despite the obvious signs he is filled with more baloney than planet Oscar Meyers. Thanks to Frankie who tipped us off.
Darla starts us off with a “Get the Hell out!” message to the “spies”
Unite and don’t question Resistnet while we try to learn to question things. Also much support for Mindy in her efforts to make the GOP irrelevant in Nevada.
dale the crazy mofo chimes in to let us know the purges on Resistnet somehow inspired dozens of messageboards that dale isn’t even a member of to purge their members. How can they not see dale henderson is frakking insane?
Cry me a river for Sharon Rigdon
Reading Resistnet is why you need surgery in the first place. Brain surgery.
Exhibit A: dale henderson. Except surgery won’t cure his brain.
Phil somehow thinks mods banning people because of disagreements is a Liberal conspiracy to take down the powerful Resistnet. Also added irony that he has an American Indian as an avatar, considering what happened to them when they tried to resist, perpetrated by people who probably have identical political beliefs to Phil.
streetsweeper shows up to vaguely threaten current members and ex-members of Resistnet. Keep talking tough, keyboard warrior! Those animated gifs surely show how much of a badass you are.
Uh, Irene, the racists aren’t being eliminated, it is the people the mods don’t like. Maybe some of them are racists (it is possible, after all, it IS Resistnet.com!) but that ain’t why they are banned!
Some days it pays to be in the right place at the right time. And on those days, you see meltdowns of epic proportions. Resistnet.com is going through such an upheaval at the moment thanks to the actions of a select few power-tripping moderators and one crazy nut poster. The actions have resulted in almost a dozen people banned and threads deleted left and right. Luckily for this Wingnut Web, I was there to capture the action as it unfolded, and keep the evidence after these posts were erased. Welcome to immortality on the internet, Resistnet.com infighting!
To start out with, poster dale henderson (the wackjob behind the Pray for Princess Palin posts) has continued to run trains of crazy all over Resistnet.com unchallenged and supported by moderators despite the fact he is obviously shoveling more cowdung than a dung-powered cowdung shoveler. Posters eat it up, but a few realizes he is nuts and try to call him on it. And then they get banned and deleted. We join our story late at night after another massacre has claimed two more doubters of dale henderson’s wisdom, and Dee, Admin Asst chalked up more marks on her banned board…
Poster Susanna shares private threats from Dee, Admin Asst as a topic starter, knowing full well she will be zapped into oblivion by the moderators
Mindy dares not question the wisdom of her masters, because of us here at Wingnut Web laughing at them. Of course, we are laughing at Mindy at this moment!
Susanna gains some more concerned posters, but dale henderson never sleeps and is there to fight them with sarcasm and name calling!
dale is also threatening posters via Private Messages and is still supported by the moderators!
dale henderson retaliates with more name calling!
ValleyForge1777 seems to want no censorship, except about fifty exceptions,
Hey, no old ladies in our Junior High School squabble, Flo!
Sharon Rigdon tries to calm down the situation, and gives us a handy background summary of what got deleted that we missed.
dale henderson is now claiming Atlanta was to be destroyed in a terror attack (which didn’t happen, for those of you too lazy to know Atlanta wasn’t destroyed or sunk into the ocean) and only a few people dare to question him
Susanna now attacks the whole Pray for Princess Palin nonsense, while Patsy refers to our favorite racist Ann
Mindy declares herself a member of Team Dale
Harry Adams gives us the names of the people banned, and posts more doubts
More banning info
Here is a shot from another thread about the bannings, with Dee, Admin Asst giving her reasons
Resistnet gets bitter
We dare Resistnet.com to ban us!
So what happened? They all got banned, the threads were all deleted, and Dee, Admin Asst and dale henderson continue to post freely and openly on Resistnet.com. Yes, they purged their non-crazy members to protect dale henderson, so he can continue to give them gems like this one:
Between the “shellfish” spelling or the retarded Switzerland story, Resistnet.com sure made the right choice….

to give me fodder for more Wingnut Web articles! MuHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
FreeRepublic.com is not the only site filled with racist idiots on the Right Wing hate-o-sphere! thefoxnation.com wants to join the fun of having lots of racist morons! Let’s check it out! And remember, all of these posts passed the strict moderator guidelines at thefoxnation.com. Even with thefoxnation.com changing their commenting system so you have to log in (and thus making it easier to ban people) they are letting the crazy nutjobs run trains of racism all over their website.
Ruger calls upon his heroes in the KKK to destroy those libs!

So now Obama gave a speech to the NAACP. Certainly nothing wrong with that. Except…

Black people just want to hang white people sooooooo bad…
OHIONOBAMA is playing the victim card while decrying playing the victim card and is too dumb to realize it
be continues to be totally racist with the approval of the thefoxnation.com moderation team!
TheFoxNation.com has come back swinging with more racism, but FreeRepublic.com still has the lead…for now. Who will score more points on the next Wingnut Web Racism Bowl 2009 Extravaganza 2.0?
As if anyone at FreeRepublic.com has balls, but that is besides the point. The point is Barack Obama’s 11 year old daughter Malia decided to wear a shirt with a peace sign on it. This simple act turned the normally stupid wingnuts at FreeRepublic.com into frothing at the mouth screeching crazy racists who began a game of one-upping each other on who could be more offensive. The threads created quickly became a firestorm as DailyKos.com spotted them and the story blew up big time, threads were pulled, newspaper articles were written, and it looks like TV will get involved. Below is a summary of the events as best as we can put together:
1 – Malia Obama wears a peace sign T-shirt
2 – FreeRepublic.com posts several threads mentioning her wearing the T-shirt, and offensive posts begin to appear.
Clicking now will just get you a message the threads have been pulled. Luckily, many posts have been archived (but not in picture form, I regret that I was busy at the time and thought I could get screenshots later, not realizing it would just be yanked.) Thanks to some fellow goons (Stefu, pacerhimself, suboptimal, POTUShead, Keels) for these quotes:
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE – A poster on Digg knew that Yahoo has a cache system similar to Google’s (who knew? that guy did!) and managed to get a copy of the first 50 posts. Thanks to that Digg guy, Keels on SA for finding it, and Itam for letting me know here! The archive is mirrored here. And here is a jpg of the first 50 posts. Remember, FR is claiming it was only 1 or 2 bad apples:

First time I see a close up of her. She’s not going to turn out to be a sweet, cute girl. Here, she’s starting to look like a thug. An activist in the making.
She’s not 5 years old, she can choose her clothes, or did J.Crew supply this t-shirt? Since she’s starting to make political statements with her clothes, she’s no longer immune to criticism. She’s now working on brainwashing kids her age.

I would say no. Malia was the one that made some snarky comment before BO got elected about black’s & “how’s that working for us”. I’ve been searching for the exact quote and I can’t find it. Now she shows up wearing this shirt. How classless and tasteless for a first family to let her do so. But what do you expect from the ‘first family of the ghetto’. Everything they do is revolting.

This isn’t the article I’m looking for, but interesting:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/11/AR2008121103579.html
While the early grades focus on Obama-appropriate issues like community service and the Quaker values of equality and communal learning, grueling workloads and fierce competition are the hallmarks of the junior high and high schools. “I pulled my first all-nighter when I was in sixth grade,” says Sidwell alum Erik Meers, editor of celebrity website Uinterview.com. “I had a teacher who used to assign us long essays to write every night, sometimes 20 pages.” Sidwell’s high school, which routinely sends more than a quarter of its graduates to Ivy League schools, is reputed for its Dickensian workloads. “On the nights before big tests, a friend and I used to call each other at 3 a.m. to make sure we were still awake. I used to take NoDoz all the time in high school and never thought there was anything weird about it,” says Erik. “Not everyone was doing this, but there was a lot of competition among the students. When I got to Yale, I remember being relieved that the workload was so much lighter!”

Tuition is approximately $28K a year per child, theschool lunch menu is very healthy and upscale — things like Baby Spinach with Mandarin Oranges, Roasted Atlantic Salmon, Garlic Basil Pasta, Roasted Local Squash, etc. Until congress voted to drop the DC school voucher program a couple of months ago, I imagine there was kids attending Sidwell who never dreamed of eating so healthy in their own homes…

What makes you think they’re not taking care of it? Perhaps they are and are only being superceded by the Obama’s themselves. If you think that’s bad, just wait until they show up looking like ghetto trash at the Vatican, with Michele wearing a horrid sleeveless dress.
I think they believe protocol, dress and decorum doesn’t apply to them and that us plebes, red state country bumpkins, the unsophisticated types and white folk just don’t understand this blaxploitation of the White House.

Wait a second. Even the Clintons had to pay for extra friends of Chelsea. So we are picking up the tab for that kid who I am sure hates us. Can you imagine seeing the way the two are dressed in Europe representing the US.
There is no parental class to allow their daughter and nephew to go around Europe in those clothes.

What if an 11 year old white kid wanted to wear a swastika? Certainly an outrageous symbol that would certainly upset many people. Can the child wear it? Why not? The peace symbol really riles up a significant portion of our society. It reminds me of the time Billy Ayres and Co. blew up a police station and terrorized middle class America with threats of violence against normal Americans. It is a hate symbol and I find it offensive. So… can an 11 year old white kid wear a tee shirt with a swastika? How about a president’s kid? Why not? Its a symbol of hate. Just like the peace symbol…

“Now the Obama girls are treated as national treasures, and if they grow up and do hard drugs or rob banks, no one will care.”
They’re politically correct sacred cows, twofers. The Bush twins were raised right and had a lot of role models and are simply decent women. Their drinking peccadillos are nothing and they didn’t dare walk around wearing shades and looking as though they would cut someone.
As for the double standard, that’s another reason I am losing patience with everything these days.

Very nice! I like this picture even better:
Black nail polish to go along with her nasty radical hair. Using their children for that kind of shit is horrific. But they did grow up in Rev. Wright’s church so what do we expect? Their entire family makes me want to vomit.

She’s still 11 years old and should be treated as such.
___________
Come on now. 11 years old is 7th grade. Don’t think for one minute she’s some innocent kid after growing up all of her life in Rev. Wright’s church every Sunday. Come on. 11 year old kids have raped, murdered, they aren’t ALL innocent conservative 11 year olds and you can bet she isn’t for sure. I knew this was a KMA statement trip when she got off the plane in Russia, with that radical, wild hair.

No offense, but is this a picture of a 23 year old street thug? or some twenty year old wanta bee singing sensation in a rapper group named “HATE AMERICANS!”??? I’m at a loss to recognize who this might be, or is this someone just busted for selling CRACK?

The quotes (including some from above and others not collected) were posted on a DailyKos Diary by CatM:
Hello. I am an independent writer developing a book about the grassroots conservative movement online, of which your site, Free Republic, is included as a primary online gathering place for conservatives.
Could you please tell me how the owner of the site feels about posts like this one:
http://www.freerepublic.com/…
…in which conservatives who post regularly at the site make several racist statements about the 11-year-old daughter of President Obama for wearing a t-shirt adorned with a peace symbol? Remarks included the following:
“We’re being represented by a family of ghetto trash.”
“Looks like a bunch of ghetto thugs. A stain on America.”
“Looks like a typical street whore.”
“What we now are sending the ghetto over to represent us. and if so who the hell is that flea bag who looks to be dragged from the trash dumpster.”
“you could go down any ghetto right now and see exactly the same.”
“could you imagine what world leaders must be thinking seeing this kind of street trash and that we paid for this kind of street ghetto trash to go over there”
“the world must be laughing like mad right now at that we have this kind of street trash in our white house.”
“Wonder when she will have her first abortion.”
“sad isn’t it that we now have ghetto street trash over there representing us in Europe.”
“This disgusting display makes me more and more eager for the revolution.
“They make me sick…. The whole family… mammy, pappy, the free loadin’ mammy-in-law, the misguided chillin’, and especially ‘lil cuz… This is not the America I want representin’ my peeps.”
In addition, the thread includes a picture of Michelle Obama speaking to her daughter with the caption, “To Entertain Her Daughter, Michelle Obama Likes to Make Monkey Sounds.”
Before you dismiss this as only a minority of posters at the site, out of 100 posts on that thread I found only 1 that criticized such remarks. This is not the first time I have seen such an exhibition of blatant racism at Free Republic by members who regularly post there.
Here are my questions:
Does Free Republic condone this type of exercise in free speech?
Are these the type of participants Free Republic is happy to have posting at its site?
What is Free Republic’s policy about posting racially offensive comments?
What is Free Republic’s policy about making sexual insinuations about minors (particularly relevant in light of the David Letterman/Sarah Palin brouhaha)?
Does Free Republic believe its membership accurately represents the conservative movement?
Does the owner of Free Republic believe this kind of discourse is helpful to rebuilding the Republican Party and furthering its goals?
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your responses.
The thread was pulled/unpulled/pulled again. Then FreeRepublic.com founder Jim Robinson (JimRob on the forums) posted this thread:
Mr. Mojo begins lie #1, that all attacks were at Michelle Obama, not Malia
while astounded begins lie#2, that all those racist comments were done by secret Obama supporter infiltrators to make the site look bad. Lie #2 will eventually become FreeRepublic.com’s main defense of the comments.
I am not sure what this comment means
more infiltrator talk
Blacks are the real racists!
A voice of reason? He gets banned.
mojitojoe posts like 30 times in the thread, each time getting angrier and angrier

Jim Rob ends the thread pretending everything is better than it is
Conservative Free Republic blog in free speech flap after racial slurs directed at Obama children
“A typical street whore.” “A bunch of ghetto thugs.” “Ghetto street trash.” “Wonder when she will get her first abortion.”
These are a small selection of some of the racially-charged comments posted to the conservative ‘Free Republic’ blog Thursday, aimed at U.S. President Barack Obama’s 11-year-old daughter Malia after she was photographed wearing a t-shirt with a peace sign on the front.
The thread was accompanied by a photo of Michelle Obama speaking to Malia that featured the caption, “To entertain her daughter, Michelle Obama loves to make monkey sounds.”
Though this may sound like the sort of thing one might read on an Aryan Nation or white power website, they actually appeared on what is commonly considered one of the prime online locations for U.S. Conservative grassroots political discussion and organizing – and for a short time, the comments seemed to have the okay of site administrators
In the article, author Chris Parry misnames the founder of FreeRepublic Jim Robinson as Jim Thompson.
Author Chris Parry is immediately targeted for attack by FreeRepublic posters: Thread attacking Parry

It was all infiltrators!
Yeah!

So we will see the segment on MSNBC tomorrow, and the story is starting to spread throughout the internet. Expect more work on this eventually, but for now I have had enough of Freeper nonsense for one day.
As many of you know, laziness permeates every aspect of my being, thus the blog is littered with drafts of articles that have never been finished. and then one day I finish them! Thus, we get a bonus Wingnut Web of old school Resistnet.com, before they changed their default Ning theme, but they are still crazy and racist as ever!
