"Keep The N*gger Out Of Office"
Cops: Man threatened voter officials over tardy registration card

OCTOBER 8--Angered by a delay in the receipt of his voter registration card, a Louisiana man today threatened election officials, claiming that he urgently needed to cast a ballot to "keep the nigger out of office," according to police. Wade Williams, 75, was arrested this morning on a felony terrorizing charge after allegedly calling the Registrar of Voters and warning that he would come to the state office and empty his shotgun unless he got his registration card. Using profanity and racial slurs, Williams told a state official "about needing to vote to 'keep the nigger out of office," according to an Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office affidavit, a copy of which you'll find here. Though the document does not name the candidate to which Williams is so violently opposed, it seems likely he was referring to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. After being arrested at his Monroe home, Williams was booked into the Ouachita Correctional Center, where the below mug shot was snapped. En route to the jail, he "continued his 'tirade' about niggers and also stated that he had a shotgun, but had it hidden at his residence," reported Lt. Michael Judd. (2 pages)

it's 2008 and i sometimes have doubts if this country can be save or better yet worth saving oh well GOBAMA

It's going to take another century or two before we can be as open-minded as Europe on some of this stuff.

just some of it's people. Clearly the majority of people are not like this, otherwise Obama wouldn't be where he is. I guess I take exception to the 'country' part of your statement. (kind of broad)

who defended "Southern heritage."

The racist culture that could have been significantly diminished in this country was allowed to perpetuate itself for more than a century after the Civil War. Four or five or six more generations were able to grow up and intensify their racist attitudes. I have a 70-year-old acquaintance, an Ohio native and retired IBM executive who lived and worked for years in Europe who still has the most revolting racist attitudes, whose political speech these days is peppered with "that word." And as long as he has political "leaders" like McCain and Palin who condone, even tacitly, that kind of attitude, it will not go away.

I *am* a Southerner, and to me "Southern Heritage" = racism.

I suppose you haven't heard about the blatant racism of various groups of European football hooligans, for instance? It's not uncommon at all for supporters of some teams to scream racist abuse at black players; several teams in Spain have been subject to fines because of this sort of behaviour by their fans. And there are quite a number of far-right racist and anti-Semitic political parties in Europe that are a good deal more open about there views than most far-right American parties (see for instance the British National Party, Jean-Marie le Pen's National Front in France, Jörg Haider's Freedom Party in Austria, the NPD in Germany, etc).

Europe is, compared to the US, overwhelmingly white, and racial tensions where they exist tend to be much greater and also much more in the open.

I would rather avoid that over here, thanks, even if it means you have a few shitbag racists like this guy around.

:sarcasm:

after a few bottles of whiskey

since the last time i was there (1984).

McCain and Palin have opened up the floodgates!!!!

That goes for the rest of you uncle dad assholes who spout bullshit like this even in passing. This isn't 1957, fucksticks.

Like it's been said before - one HAIR on his head and your world is over.

racism above their own wellbeing and survival. This election will tell us how entranched the cancer is.

Small wonder why Ohio is the last B-ground state who's barely blue/dead even. I guess "nawt wantin' t'catch teh blaaaaaaack" is more important than, you know, making this country solvent, not sending your sons and daughters to be killed for Kellogg Brown and Root and putting us on the path to better health care.

I (a transplanted New Yorker and DU member for like six years or so) have registered a bunch of people, and have changed many minds in my area. We are going to win here damn it!!!!

I lived in North Carolina and Virginia for awhile but Ohio has FAR more racism.

the more common stories like this will become. Lots of pent up anger just boiling beneath the surface in this country.

rrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

What backward asshole. Glad he got caught.

Damn.

Just damn.

anyone with that much anger towards someone he has never met can not be living a life of happiness or peace.

Never been prouder. (sarcasm!)
Glad to be in Texas now.

I hope he enjoys his cell. Miserable jerk!

that IF you think the racists are all in "this" older generation, like the guy who got arrested...then you got some learnin' to do...I know those in the 30 yr old group...and in the 15 yr old group...who are just as racist as this old guy is, AND they aren't from the South either..wb

the older generation who came of age before desegregation, etc.

may have to FINALLY ADMIT THAT IT IS ALIVE AND WELL.

I have often wondered why it is so hard to admit that racism is hell on black people especially when it is unexpressed. I'd rather hear the ugliness coming out of that bigot's mouth than have the some of these presumptions weigh against me without being able to substantiate the racism.

What an ugly son of a bitch.

He just longs for a simplier time in America...when gub'ment didn't take his guns, when communism was the biggest enemy, when fags kept from pushing 'their lifestyle onto the rest of us', when "God" was respected, when we prayed in schools, and when the local sport was to catch a ni^^er and see how high up in a tree you could get him.

/sarcasm


People like this draw no sympathy for me.

Aside from New Orleans, Louisiana is one of the worst places in the Union ("fuck Unions" - average Republican). The place is a cess-pool of Bush-loving redneck stupidity (no offense to Bush).

Your apology is accpted

but being a "cess-pool of Bush-loving redneck stupidity" it's not.
Apology not accepted!

"Fuck THE Union" - Sarah and Todd Palin.

Sorry. Could not resist.

creeps out from under their rocks.

The Rethugs are shameless.

"Larry Wilmore is starting to believe McCain may be the black candidate"

They can put out all the "we done condone this" paper statements all they want, but ultimately they don't care because they know better then to trash one of their key supporter groups...racists. Them along with right wing christian fanatics are the base of the GOP party. Why would Palin and McCain try and stop them from spreading the message of hate, hell it's like they are doing their job for them.

surprised, as much as appalled that someone from there was arrested for this sort of racist garbage!

RushIsRot

Hate oozes from this asshole's every pore in the mug shot. What an ugly creature.

... who supports John McCain. Most decent musicians I know have exccellent command of themselves. I can't imagine what it's like inside his head. Such hatred!

may keep gitmo open for those making these kind of threats. SO they should think twice. Because basically I've had "ENOUGH!" more than enough. I'm a person of peace but man time for those on the right to settle down allow democracy to take it's course and be civilized.

...the N*gger is already in office. And as of Jan, he'll have a much bigger one!

I really hope they up Obama's SS detail. All it takes is one of theses lunatics.
