Comparing Senator Obama To A MonkeyPosted on July 7th, 2008 @ 10:01 pm
This sign is outside the Georgia Peach Oyster Bar in Paulding County, Georgia:

Owner, Patrick Lonzo says “…he has no regrets, no apologies… and that they’re still entitled to put their own sign up, if it offends them, fine, in the United States we still have free speech, the only thing that hasn’t been taken from us”
When asked if he is a racist, he says “No, I believe in your right or my right to say whatever you want without being critized as a racist”.
He is delusional if he thinks that he is not racist. I agree that we are all entitled to free speech and he should be able to say whatever he wants but he should also at least own up to his bigotry like a man. How dare you compare Senator Obama to a monkey and then turn around and say you aren’t racist.
Some of my Georgia readers may recall this is the same guy who had the sign up several years ago when Michael Jackson was acquitted of child molestation charges:
“Was Michael Jackson acquitted because he is a n*gger or a monkey?”
Yet, Mr. Lonzo says he’s not racist. The man doth protest too much.
