NNPA Cancels Conference in SC after Joe the Mouther's 'You Lie' Outburst.

The National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) is backing out of holding its mid-winter conference in South Carolina after one of its U.S. representatives accused President Barack Obama of lying during the president's congressional address on health care.

"Rep. Wilson's remarks were racist, disrespectful and a disingenuous violation -- not only of President Obama -- but to the institution of the presidency and only solidified our position and the importance in not spending Black dollars where Black people are not respected," NNPA Chairman Danny J. Bakewell Sr. said in a statement.

Way to go asshole. We already have double digit unemployment, and there goes part of the tourist industry.

In addition, what new companies want to settle in SC with clowns like you, Sanford, Graham, and DeMint in charge of anything?? The legislature is also a 3 ring circus.

1. Excellent!

That's really putting it right out there, saying it flat out.

Racist, disrespectful.

The more people tell the plain truth, the better off we'll all be. I'm tired of everyone talking all around it.

Wilson is a racist and we just canceled our plans with your state.

Deal with it.

Excellent. Thank you for this..................

3. How can you call that good old boy a racist?

Just because he's a member in good standing of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, an ardent supporter of the late Strom Thurmond, and railed against removing the Confederate Flag from the Capital Building in Columbia, and called the first black POTUS a liar on the floor of the House of Representatives during an internationally televised speech, you think he's a racist? Honestly, I just don't know where you come up with this stuff!:evilgrin:

And for the scarcastically impaired (not you, Tangerine), I would add the following:

2. As much as I hate that we'll be losing the revenue,

I more than support their decision, I applaud it. Maybe if enough individuals and groups do this, we can get rid of these jerks, and get some Dems elected!
