An unrepentant Sam Allred said Saturday that an on-air comment Thursday morning about U.S. Sen. Barack Obama wasn't racist because he was trying to mock a "foolish-sounding remark" made by U.S. Sen. Joe Biden.

Allred and co-host Bob Cole were discussing Obama, D-Ill., between 7 and 7:30 a.m. on the Sam & Bob morning radio show on KVET (98.1 FM) when the conversation turned to comments made by Biden several weeks ago.

"He's clean is what what's-his-name said. Joe Biden told us that," Cole said.

"Clean darky," Allred said.

1. Oh no he di-in't!

Wow. What a clown.

And I'll say this, Joe Biden wasn't saying HE thought Obama was clean, etc. He was talking about how some of these bigots think.
Bigots like this clown Sam Allred.

2. "Faggot," "Darky" - Yep, the Right Wing is sure elevating political discourse

They are reduced to this, for they have nothing left to offer now but war and hate. This is who they are and always have been, and now that the dark corner they inhabit is shrinking, they become more shrill - and more dangerous.

3. Austinite here

Sam and Bob are known for their right-wing beliefs. I hate the guys.

Austin is a liberal oasis in Texas, generally. We have always...AND WITHOUT FAIL...carried the Democrat in the presidential election. Sadly, some other parts of Texas occasionally leak in.

I hate Sam and Bob.

Allred said he said nothing controversial and "It's such a to-do about nothing that it really breaks my heart," Awww. :nopity:

The fact that he doesn't even think it was "controversial" pretty much says it all. That seems to be pretty common with bigots, they have no idea why people get upset with their remarks because they are just utterly clueless.
