You really can’t make some of this stuff up. Did you see the big story in the Washington Post this morning about Rick Perry’s hunting club? Check this out:
“In the early years of his political career, Rick Perry began hosting fellow lawmakers, friends and supporters at his family’s secluded West Texas hunting camp, a place known by the name painted in block letters across a large, flat rock standing upright at its gated entrance.
“Niggerhead,” it read.
…the name of this particular parcel did not change for years after it became associated with Rick Perry, first as a private citizen, then as a state official and finally as Texas governor. Some locals still call it that. As recently as this summer, the slablike rock — lying flat, the name still faintly visible beneath a coat of white paint — remained by the gated entrance to the camp."
I actually believe this story helps Perry just like it helps Cain to tell blacks to get off of the “liberal plantation.” These tea partiers are Dixiecrats, tried and true and they would love one of these old-school, racially insensitive hacks to lead them to the pre-civil rights promise land.
