Related: About this forumGeoffrey Fieger Calls Obama Critics Racists In New Ad; Refers To His 'White Brethren' Being Bothered
DETROIT -
In a new 1-minute TV ad, Geoffrey Fieger refers to critics of President Barack Obama as racists.
In the ad Fieger begins saying, "Can we speak honestly about racism?" He then goes on to question whether people would question if President Obama was born in the united state if he was white.
In another portion of the ad he goes on to say, "Every time I hear someone insinuate that President Obama is a Muslim, or a communist, or a radical, or a foreigner, all I hear them say is that he's black. And as a white man in America I know damn well that it really bothers some of my white brethren that a black family is occupying the White House."

I used to work for him and he has way way too much baggage and is too inflammatory.
Go away Geoff

And since they have the reasoning power of a weasel, they could have adopted that concept en masse'. Sad
