Chicago tribune’s Rex W. Huppke lied
In this article, Rex Huppke of the Chicago Tribune tries to make RACE the reason why Obama didn’t win in Kentucky.
The funny thing is; Terry Jordan, the retired guy who Huppke says runs a year-round garage sale, doesn’t run a year-round garage sale. And Jordan never said what Huppke quoted him as saying:
Terry Jordan, 47, who runs a year-round garage sale in front of an old filling station on Main Street, put it simply: “It’s his color.”
Jordan said when Huppke interviewed him, that he has a ’second mama’ who is a black lady around 80-something years old, and that it’s other things about Obama that bother him; like his muslim background and the fact that he’s dishonest. HE TOLD HUPPKE THAT, so why is it that the story follows this preconceived notion about stereotypical toothless redneck white racists in Kentucky?
To many white voters, race still matters
Once again, the Tribune finds itself totally disconnecting with reality to sell newspapers.

With Huppke’s Latest Article, The Ron Paul people might get him fired, regardless of your thoughts on his Non-aggression based foreign policy.

The bottom line is - he lied about Terry Jordan.
What you mentioned there has nothing to do with this article….
Huppke’s latest article is entitled “Parish, public await Pfleger’s next move”
I doubt Ron Paulbots would care about that one, even though Paul made an incendiary commentary about Christianity…
Campaigner in Chief is the one you’re referencing, I suppose.
He’s actually had two articles in the last few days about Ron Paul - this one is the other. Campaigner in chief Ron Paul Calls it Quits
