Point, laugh … and facepalm:
Republicans are dying to call Obama the N-word. They should just come and out say it https://t.co/yP1ipXbFYa pic.twitter.com/MyKUtAusVl

@Salon Terrible accusation. Prove it. Just because there are ideological differences, doesn't mean they want to call Obama the "N" word.

Writer Chauncey DeVega concludes:
The Fox Business Channel presidential primary debate was a reminder of how the Republican Party and the right-wing news entertainment media complex have spent more than eight years trying to find new ways to call Barack Obama—and by extension black Americans en masse—a “nigger” without actually using the slur. During Obama’s last months in office it would be more efficient, as well as refreshing, if the Republican Party and its elites dropped any pretense of respectable behavior and simply told the world what they really feel about the United States’ first black president.
That’s great, Chauncey. Here’s the thing, though:
@Salon Yeah, you failed to cite any actual racism with this article.
— Severity (@SeveritySays) January 26, 2016
@Salon You didn't cite a single incidence of racism toward Barack Obama in this piece, you fucking hacks.
— Chris Hynes (@realchrishynes) January 26, 2016
Whoops.
Well, evidence is for suckers, anyway. What matters are feelings. And Salon has plenty of those.

@Salon @byoanarchy @CamilliusCaesar What you accuse others of without any evidence says more about you than it does about them.

@daganash @Salon @byoanarchy I agree. The projection is strong with Salon.

Yep. He seriously did.
We’ve got some words for DeVega and Salon: Hacks. Liars. Dirtbags.

@ellencarmichael @GayPatriot @salon is a joke of a publication. I would compare them to toilet paper, but that is an insult to toilet paper.
