Ed board member resists pressure to resign over Obama 'half breed' remarks on blog
Source: Omaha World Herald
By Joe Dejka
Gov. Pete Ricketts joined a rising tide of voices Thursday calling on Nebraska State Board of Education member Pat McPherson to resign over bigoted remarks posted on his blog.
McPherson responded with a statement that he does not intend to resign.
Doing so would be a tacit admission of the false accusations being made that I am a racist, McPherson said. I am not.
McPherson has disavowed the description of President Barack Obama as a half breed that appeared on his blog, the Objective Conservative. He said he did not author the five postings containing the term, blaming them on a contributor whom he had allowed to access the site.

(39,405 posts)the most powerful politician in the world must be really hurt when a school board member in Pigfart, Nebraska says racist things about him on his blog that maybe a half dozen people read, and most of them by accident.
