TPM LIVEWIRE
C-SPAN Caller On Air: 'Republicans Hate That N***er Obama' (VIDEO)
By Catherine Thompson Published November 6, 2014, 10:27 AM EST

A man who called into C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" Thursday morning referred to President Barack Obama as "that n***er" before getting booted off the air.

The caller, who gave his name as Anthony from San Diego, California, identified himself as a Republican and started out talking about the direction he thinks the new GOP majority in Congress should take.

"I would just like to say, that the Republicans -- and I'm a Republican -- please do not overreach," the caller began. "I know they're going to overreach but I'm telling you, if you advocate for the repeal of Obamacare and you get too extreme, then Hillary Clinton will be elected President in 2016."

"This is about race," he added. "The Republicans hate that nigger Obama."

Host Steve Scully quickly cut off the caller after he dropped the racial slur.

"Okay, I'm gonna stop you there," Scully said. "We're not gonna use that kind of language."

"You can certainly make your point, but you cross the line when you use language like that," he added. "And so to our viewers and listeners, I want to apologize."

C-SPAN callers aren't afraid to voice blunt views on race. On the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, several individuals called into the program to talk about white oppression.

Well, it's refreshing to see a R (if he really is) be honest. He's right no matter what words he used.

I agree, roseanne ~ my rabid anger is focused on the stupid/bigoted mindset ~

I don't get angry any more. I am just sad about it. Back during the 70's, I had such high hopes that all men and women would attain equality and racism/bigotry would be a thing of the past after all the violence and struggles.

It's a strange thing to see. Supposedly Christian, right-winged conservatives seem to harbor the most hate and viciousness. Must suck to be them.

They're no different from the Islamists.
