Is it OK to call him “boy”?

October 3, 2008 by Orlando

It seems politically incorrect to call him “boy” since he is running for one of the highest offices in the land.

Yet that is exactly what Barack Obama did when he referred to Joe Biden following the debate. According to CBS News:

Barack Obama praised his running mate, and Pennsylvania native, Joe Biden today for performance at the debate, saying that the “Scranton boy done good.”

I wonder what the reaction would be if John McCain or Sarah Palin were to call somebody running for the highest office in the land “boy”?

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
